    Default One frugal baby in the making :)

    Our local big-store is doing an offer on at the minute that if you save your clubcard points (you get 2 points for every £1 you spend) and use them to get double value money off vouchers for different departments, Well we had £25 of vouchers that we doubled into a $50 off clothing voucher and went shopping for baby items.

    Ive been offered items upto 3 months so we picked out anything 3-6months + and being as its winter we got:
    a winter coat in a 9 month size for next year as well as
    6 t-shirts
    1 shirt
    1 jumper
    3 pairs of booties
    1 pair of slippers
    4 pairs of trousers
    2 hats
    3 bibs

    All this come up to £51.75 - minus our voucher we only paid £1.75 for it all

    To make it better all the items we got were in the sale and we worked out that to buy everything full price would of cost £75.50!

    Talk about savings.
