Article: Children grow out of things quickly, so there's a good chance that you'll find things recently put on the market by other parents. Aside from possible wear and tear, there's nothing inherently more functional about a new stroller versus one that's 5 years old. Check out consignment shops, Craigslist, and eBay. http://www.parents.com/parenting/money/family-finances/32-ways-to-save-money-when-you-have-a-baby/ A convertible crib can be transformed into a bed when your baby grows out of it. Try to find one secondhand. Even if you can't, new ones are easy to find for below $200. Many even come with storage drawers, which could save space and remove the burden of having to find another piece of furniture. This is easier than it sounds. Boil vegetables until they're a bit softer than you might like them. Puree them, and then store them in a freezer. Making a weekly habit of this will save you hundreds of dollars. Be skeptical of specialty baby and toddler foods. Chances are, if it looks like something you'd buy for yourself, but the marketing is brighter and the packaging is smalleryou can buy it more cheaply from an non-baby aisle at the grocery store and portion it in a resealable bag. Manufacturers know how much money you stand to spend on items like food, diapers, soaps, lotions, etc. In the interest of gaining new longtime customers, they will offer great deals for you to try their products. If it's an item that you must keep stocked, then there's probably a great coupon to print out. Also keep an eye out for coupon dispensers in the baby aisle. It will probably be a year or longer before your baby learns to walk, and their feet will be larger then, anyway. Even when those precious first steps take place, it'll happen on a surface like indoor flooring or grass. There's a good chance that you'll receive shoes or booties as a gift, in case you did want something to cover their feet. Your baby won't be a baby forever. A shirt for next year can be a one-piece or a dress for today. Look for bottoms with elastic waistbands. Anticipate growth by buying clothes you can still use in the future. You may want clothes that fit properly for baby pictures. Ask parents within your social circle if they still have baby clothes lying around that you can have or borrow. Consider unisex clothing for future babies.
