Having a new baby in the house means getting out to the store can be a challenge. For that reason I love Amazon, but even with free Prime shipping, sometimes there are items that you just need and can’t wait two days for. (Am I the only one?)
To quickly save on items you need right now and can’t wait for a deal on – learn the art of price matching!
With the extra stress, it’s easy to overspend in this area and baby items are known for their high markup. Especially if you are shopping at a “baby” store. Even though this time can be overwhelming, there is always a way to save and this quick tip doesn’t take too much effort.
Other than a handful of loss leader deals in their ads, I’ve never thought of Toys R Us or Babies R Us as a frugal option for baby deals, until I discovered their price match policy. After several days of holding an upset newborn, I decided it was time to invest in a swing. Amazon had the lowest price I could find online, it was at least $40 less than everyone else. Rather than waiting for it to come, I headed to my local Babies R Us with a printout and the page pulled up on my phone to ask for a price match.
To my surprise, this was done at the customer service desk with a few pushes of a button. The Babies R Us price was a good $70 more than the Amazon price and they didn’t bat an eye at lowering it for me!
This is also great when you forget something important while traveling, or need a last minute gift for a baby shower. Just because you are in a rush, doesn’t mean you have to pay full price!
What are ways that you save when you are in a hurry? How do you make sure you are getting a good price even if you don’t have a lot of time to research and wait for a deal?

Every year for Easter we like to focus on the real reason for the holiday and I love that VeggieTales helps us do that in a way that my kids love!
They have multiple products based on the truths of Easter. The first is A Very Veggie Easter DVD Collection. It includes two awesome VeggieTales Easter videos: An Easter Carol and Twas the Night Before Easter. It even includes 2 CDs “A Very Veggie Easter” and “Hosanna!”. These CDs include a sing-along with special guests Amy Grand and Mark Hall.
An Easter Carol is a reworking of A Christmas Carol as you could probably guess from the title. Larry and Bob have to convince Nezzer (Ebenezer) that Easter is about much more than just candy and eggs. In Twas the Night Before Easter, a cable news reporter is looking for a way to help others. She comes up with a plan to save the town theater, but through it all she discovers the real meaning of Easter and what helping others is really all about.
There are tons of other fun VeggieTales items that makes great Easter gifts and help little ones learn the true meaning of the holiday. Visit the VeggieTales Easter Store if you need some ideas.
