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!
