Mommy The Deal Finder

Baby center groups & Jace eating formula

I joined Baby Center last year when I found out I was having a baby. The support was/is great. Now that I have the baby I'm a member of a couple groups I frequent often. One is the Jan 2012 group (we all had babies this year in Jan) and the other is called Trading Post (a coupon trading group). So today I made a couple trades. My Kohl's coupon for Similac formula and free Beechnut babyfood for McDonald's bucks. Its a great way to help eachother out. I only wish I had a local group to do this coupon trading with — like on a weekly or monthly basis. Perhaps if I got enough interest from my friends I could start one? Hmm...it's a thought!

On another note last night lil' Jaceypoo ate from a spoon. We started rice cereal once a day. Only 1 1/2 tablespoons mixed with formula but its a start. So now the hunt is on for a great deal for a high chair. Craigslist here I come. Then I'm going to post an ad on Bolingbrook Freecycle. If there is a deal I WILL find it!

Being a mommy I realize how important it is to $hop $mart and $ave as much money as I can!

Ps. My daughter Kaley came by today and gave Jace lots of attention so I could get some of my listings up on ebay (yep I love ebay). Here is a pic of us goofing off at the computer.
