What are some of your shopping tips and tricks? What are some good sales going on currently? What are you taking advantage of?

I'm almost 29 weeks, and a few weeks back set a budget and started ordering things to prepare for baby. We live in a small space and do not like clutter or things that don't have consistent use. So I want to keep the baby items to the most needed. Right now I'm trying to only purchase things that are on sale or have an offer (discount codes or gift card with purchase) because we still have a few months to go and figured we have some time to hold off on buying everything.

I created a registry at target and amazon even though we have no plans for a shower. This has helped me keep things narrowed down to each category so I'm not overwhelmed by baby world. It's also helped me watch for sales on items I've picked out. Plus the discount that comes will be handy.

I just started using Ebates for cash back on online purchases. This has been amazing so far!

I also just started using Shoptagr. It's a website you link items to and you can set it to tell you when an item goes on sale. Not sure how well this works as I've just started using it.

So what are you doing to help cut down on baby cost?
