16. Go online
Try eBay for bigger, more expensive items - it can still work out cheaper then department stores and you don't even have to leave the house.
Price comparison sites are also a good way of saving money, especially on large and expensive items such as prams and cots, here are three of the best:
- Dooyoo
- Kelkoo
- Pricerunner
17. Hit the sales
Elbows at the ready! You can grab some great bargains in the sales but you need to think practically and long-term: Is it worth buying summer clothes for a newborn if your baby will be too big by the summer? Will you be wearing a maternity winter party dress if you're due in the middle of summer?
18. Join the library
Your local library isn't just great for books there are also toys that you can borrow, which will also save pounds on buying new toys.
Plus, library notice boards are a good source of local information, advice and groups.
