Bargains for Babies, Tots & Moms!

I did a little browsing last night for a good bargain for today and nothing really caught my eye, so I’m glad I waited until now- I found a bunch! First, don’t forget that today is the last day to take advantage of Amazon Mom’s extra 20% off diapers & wipes if you’re not an Amazon Prime member. You can find all the details in our post about the changes to their program here. Don’t wait until tomorrow! Stock up now and save that extra 20%- it’s around a $10 a box savings! Here’s a link to all their eligible subscribe & save items.

And here’s a roundup of all those deals I found:

The Children’s Place is shipping every order for free today, with no minimum purchase amount, and a coupon code to save an additional 20%! There’s a good amount of clearance, including this cute sweater (on the left!) for just $3.99 shipped! Use coupon code R9F2012 at checkout!

Amazon has a bunch of yummy Annie’s Homegrown snacks on sale, and they’re eligible for a 15% subscribe & save discount as well. These Cheddar Bunnies are a big hit in our house!
Amazon also has the “Mommy I’m Here” Child Locator on sale for 43% off the original $30 (in the brown bear color)- just $17!

Amazon also has a fabulous price on the very popular Baby Jogger City Mini stroller in a couple different color choices for a whopping 38% off it’s original $240 price tag, just $150 with free shipping! It’s the 2011 model, so I’m sure they’re clearing out their inventory before the 2012 model is released. I don’t think this price will last very long, it’s a great deal on this stroller!

And just one more quick one- a Dora potty seat for 55% off!

Stay tuned for a great giveaway starting this week!

Diaper Deals & Changes to Amazon Mom

We usually do a once-a-month update on the best online diaper deals, and it’s never been any surprise- the best deals were always at Amazon. In fact, my poor lack of planning led me to Target for emergency diapers a few days ago, where I paid $10 for 31 Pampers Cruisers. First of all, that’s just a lot for diapers. Second of all, that’s really a lot when you consider what we’ve been able to buy them for at Amazon- around $33 for 186 of the same diaper, shipped to my door! For comparison, that’s $10 for 56 diapers. That’s a big difference.

But a few days ago, Amazon announced a pretty big change to their Amazon Mom program. Instead of offering anyone enrolled in the free Amazon Mom program a 20% additional discount on diapers, as of 1/24, the 20% discount will now only be offered to Amazon Mom members who are also paid Amazon Prime members ($79/year) or new Amazon Mom members for their first 3 months of membership. (Although the program is not accepting new members right now.) You can read all the details here in their FAQ.

So what does this mean for us? Well, most importantly for now, if you’re a current Amazon Mom member, you can order diapers and wipes with the additional 20% discount until 1/24 (although I’d do it sooner rather than later.) You’ll have to start a new subscribe & save subscription to do this (at least I did!) Personally, I just bought three boxes so I wouldn’t have to think about this again for a few months. Remember to check the price again when your next subscribe & save order ships, or you can cancel your subscription without obligation later.

In the long run, we’ll continue to look for online diaper deals wherever we can find them. If you’re like me and have been on the fence about Amazon Prime, now might be a good time to jump onboard. It’s $79 a year, or about $6.50 a month. If you’re buying one box of diapers a month, you’d definitely be able to save that much. And it would make it much easier to jump on a $2 inflatable space shuttle deal when shipping is free. :) There’s a whole bunch of other benefits that you can read about here too.

For now, here’s a little round-up of the best diaper deals we can find at Amazon today (be sure to check out the pull-ups for 54% off at the bottom!) For a list of all the eligible subscribe & save diapers and wipes, click here!

Huggies Snug & Dry, size 4, 140 diapers for $25.40- 40% off! (Clip the $2 off e-coupon on this page for this price!)

Oxo Tot, Diaper Bags & Musical Toys

I’ve been eyeing the new(ish) Oxo Tot line waiting for a deal, and finally we’ve got one! Meijer.com has eight different Oxo Tot products on clearance right now for 50-60% off, including this well-reviewed snack cup (on the right) that’s originally $6 and now $3! You can ship to a Meijer store for free, or else you’d probably be better off ordering a few items to save on shipping costs. Also in Meijer’s baby clearance is a great deal on the Kalencom Flora Buckle Diaper Bag, originally $80 and now $35!

And thanks to TotBargainer Margaret for sharing a deal on some great musical instruments on sale at Amazon. The Edushape Mini Orchestra is originally $27 and on sale for $13 (52% off!), the Hohner 4-piece Baby Band is originally $22 and on sale for $15 (31% off!), the Edushape Sea Sound Drum, originally $22 and on sale for $13 (41% off!), and the Hohner Kids 8-inch Rainmaker (love this one!) originally $14 and on sale for it’s lowest price in 6 months, $8 (41% off!)

UPDATE: Thanks to TotBargainer Christy for the heads-up on a great sale on Majamas at Zulily- many are 70% off! I love these for nursing mamas, and this is a great price!

Birdhouses, Scholastic E-Books & Cribs

I’m not sure why I’m seeing birds fly north already, but I assume it’s to come back to the lightly padded, extraordinarily colorful birdhouses they left behind. Or maybe it’s just the birds of the stuffed variety? This little Manhattan Toy Birdhouse set is just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, and it comes complete with 4 little birdies that I believe would entertain my 4 year old just as well as the baby! This fun way to welcome Spring is originally $30, but on sale at Amazon for just $19 today, 37% off!

Amazon is also having a solid sale on cribs and crib mattresses, with a good selection of DaVinci and Babyletto cribs on sale (like this very chic and well-reviewed one on the left), and offering another 50% off an already-on-sale crib mattress when you buy one of these select cribs.

Teachers and homeschoolers will also love a fantastic sale going on right now at Scholastic’s Teacher Express site. A giant selection of e-books (838!) are on sale for just $1 each, some with original prices of $22! Letter writing, phonics, early math skills, and science are just a few of the plethora of topics covered for the tot set. The e-books

are delivered in .pdf form immediately, so you can print or save them easily at home. This big list of sale items can be sorted by grade level (from preK-12) for easy searching!

And just one more- Amazon has some nice high-dollar coupons available online for products in the J&J family, including Aveeno, Desitin, Neutrogena, Neosporin, and plenty more. Remember to combine this with subscribe & save discounts for even better deals! Check them all out here!

Clearance Kids Clothes, Soundspa & more

The January clearance season is in full swing! Today you can scoop up some great deals on kids clothing at The Children’s Place, where you can use coupon code W7F2012 for BOTH free shipping (on any size order!) and an additional 20% off. My favorite kind of coupon code! There’s plenty of cute things already on clearance, like this pretty purple shirt- originally $13, on clearance for $6, and with your coupon code, it’s just $4.80 shipped! Check out all of their clearance for babies, toddlers, and older kids here!

We’ve also got a few more markdowns at Amazon, including this clever Design & Drill Activity Center (on the left) from Educational Insights. Perfect for keeping little fingers busy on cold winter days (and practicing those fine motor skills!), it’s originally $43, but on sale today for $31 with free shipping- 29% off!

I also like the idea of the Homedics SoundSpa Lullaby machine (on the right) that plays either heartbeat, rainforest, or ocean sounds, or 3 lullabies. I love everything about listening to ocean sounds while watching the icicles accumulate on my windows. I’ll just pop an umbrella straw in my iced tea and rock baby and I into a peaceful slumber. Originally $35, it’s on sale for $19, 46% off! Oh, and it has a projector in it too!

Kids Golf, Clothing Sale & Coupon

Well, I know PapaBargain has been waiting for a deal on this set for a while…so here you go, dear! :) The Fisher-Price Tornado Tee Golf set actually levitates the “golf ball” in the air for a few seconds for easy hitting practice. With none of those pesky tees to get in the way, I’m thinking my golf game could be improved with this as well? Originally $37, it’s on sale at Amazon today for $23- 37% off!

While you’re over there, check out Amazon’s clothing “stock up sale”, with lots of stuff marked down already- and you can use coupon code STOCKUPA for $10 off a $50 order or STOCKUPB for $20 off a $100 order. There’s even some Baby Banz UV-protective rash shirts hiding in there on sale! Here’s the links to Baby Girls, Baby Boys, and Womens- just in case! ;)

Bumbleride Flyer

Here’s an excellent deal on a luxury stroller that’s hardly ever on sale! The Bumbleride Flyer is one of the least expensive strollers to have an actual reversible handle- like the Bugaboos- so that Mama can face baby or have baby face out without having to move the little guy at all! That’s an awesome feature that’s as helpful on walks in the sun (flip for shade!) as it is on walks through the mall (flip for mama!) It’s probably my favorite feature of any stroller. Bumblerides use quality materials and luxury details to justify their prices- originally $389, the Flyer (in Ruby-my fav!) is on sale at Amazon for $282 with free shipping, 28% off- that’s over a $100 savings!

Bookshelf, Easel & Kohls Sale

There’s a few good deals to be made at Kohls.com when you combine their baby sale with a new Kohl’s coupon code for an additional 20% off anything in their baby section (BABY20)- like this handy Guidecraft Safari Bookshelf, perfectly sized for toddlers to organize a book nook full of books- maybe even on their own! (Oh, the humanity!) Originally $75, it’s on sale for $67, and with the coupon code, just $54 with 99 cent shipping! (That’s cheaper than Amazon!) While you’re there, check out the clearance baby clothing section- there’s some cute pjs and bodysuits to stock up on!

And we love telling you when this easel is on sale- the very popular Step 2 Easel for Two in Pink is originally $70, but on sale now at Amazon for just $33 with free shipping- 53% off! (There’s a red version too, but it’s annoyingly hardly ever on sale!) And the also great Step 2 Flip & Doodle Easel Desk is originally $90, but on sale at Amazon for $48, 47% off!
