Reviews
This book had so many great ideas and ways to save money on baby essentials, and also offered many helpful websites to visit. I have a nine-week old daughter and this book has really proven to be a great resource on everything there is to know about saving money and being frugal now that I am a mom. I will definitely be including this book in baby showers gifts in the future.

Great read. I bought this book and the Baby Bargains book (mentioned in the review before me) and I have to say, there are SO SO SO many more tips and tidbits on how to save money in this book. If you are on a budget, this is the book to buy. This book is true to its' title. That other Baby Bargains book by Denise and Alan Fields has horrible reviews and I read that the authors write their own 5 star reviews and then slash all their competitors books with bad reviews just to try and get their rankings up higher. I think buying a book about good content is just as important as buying a book written by good people. This book is it. I also really liked the book,
called The Baby Rules-- it's a quirky fun read and now the book I buy my friends when they are about 8 months pregnant ready to give birth the first time!

I'm so annoyed - I bought this book thinking it was the other, the *original*, Baby Bargains, and was confused after reading through tip after tip about looking for sales and going to thrift stores. To me, it seems the author is blatantly trying to make money off another book's success. It does have some useful websites, but I wouldn't waste money on the book to get them.
