Mia Moda Stroller & Toy Clearance

Kelly@TotBargains — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:00:31 +0000

Kohl’s isn’t the first place I’d think of to look for a stroller deal, but by golly, maybe it should be! Kohls.com is running another 15% off everything coupon this weekend that would make this well-reviewed Mia Moda Atmosferra stroller, originally $245, on sale for $184, just $156 with the coupon, 38% off! Shipping is $11, but that still makes it $44 cheaper than Amazon. It’s available in four trendy colors too!

Target.com also has a bunch of toys in their online clearance marked down to 50% off, including VTech, Thomas, and MegaBlocks- check them all out here!

And a BIG thanks to everyone who shared a bargain with us last month! We’ve got a winner for our $25 Amazon gift card- congratulations to… Samantha B! Samantha, look for an email from me today! Share a deal with us for a chance to win next month, and don’t forget to enter to win a BabyBjorn in our Valentine’s giveaway!

DwellStudio, Stride Rite, Play Food & Ants

Kelly@TotBargains — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:43:44 +0000

Maybe you’ll want to keep the last two away from each other. Now, I’m not big into insects- and by “not into” I mean, “I’ll run screaming from a spider”- but even I will admit that this first bargain seems pretty cool. It’s an illuminated “ant city“, and if I can use the words “cool” and “ant” in one thought, they must actually be. Originally $33, it’s on sale for $19 at Amazon, 41% off!

If you’re looking to picnic next to your new ants, you might want to invest in some crumb-free play food- the cute Small World Toys Peel N’ Play set is highly-reviewed and a clever mix of slicing and peeling, great for developing those fine motor skills! Originally $24, it’s on sale for $16 at Amazon, 35% off!

Target.com has a great price on a nice gender-neutral crib bedding set by DwellStudio- the 3-piece Dot Fun set is originally $80, but clearance priced for just $48, 40% off! Shipping is free on orders over $50 or if you use a Target RedCard (which would also get you another 5% off!)

And finally, the Amazon-owned Endless.com has some really cute pairs of Stride Rite shoes on sale for almost half off- the Harlow toddler and little kid girls’ shoe is originally $46 and on sale for $23 in two match-anything colors, and the popular lighted Vroomz car shoes are $30 from an original $50- and there’s plenty more on sale there too, all with free shipping!

Baby Swing, Changing Table & Bibs!

Kelly@TotBargains — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:30:07 +0000

Three excellent deals today on three highly-reviewed products! First up is the lowest price I’ve ever seen on the Fisher-Price Cradle N’ Swing in “My Little Lamb”- originally $155, it’s on sale at Amazon for just $85 with free shipping! That’s 45% off! It’s super popular on baby registries, so be sure to plan ahead for any upcoming baby showers while prices are low!

Up next is a bargain I’d drool for- a 10-pack of Green Sprouts bibs! Waterproof and covered in soft terry, this colorful set is originally $20, but on sale today for just $12, 41% off! Just over $1 a bib to keep those purdy clothes clean and dry!

And finally, I shared this deal on Facebook yesterday, but I love it so much I’m going to share it again- two different finishes of this solid Status changing table are on sale for almost half off! Originally $550, the rubbed black version is on sale for $312 (43% off) and the mahogany version is on sale for $282 (49% off!) And it ships FREE! The three other finishes are still around $550! We have a different changing table made by this same manufacturer and I really like it- it’s very solidly built. We bought ours from Amazon too, and it shipped really well- fully assembled! Can’t beat that!

Deals, Steals & A Giveaway!

Kelly@TotBargains — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:54:46 +0000

I whipped up a brand-new article this weekend, inspired by my favorite fashion magazines- all about getting the look of high-end baby gear for less! Like a $940 crib with a $380 look-a-like, or an $850 bassinet with a $250 “twin”. Can you tell the difference? Check out our match-ups and find your favorite!

In fact, there’s two baby products mentioned in our article that happen to be on sale today for fantastic prices. Remember that $850 bassinet? It’s look-a-like (on the right!) is on sale at Amazon today for $108! That’s 58% off it’s original $258, and quite a bit less than it’s luxe conterpart!

And speaking of Target, Mama scooped up a bargain at Target’s in-store baby clearance and I’m sharing it with you! We’re giving away a BABYBJORN Baby Carrier Air!

Kelly@TotBargains — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:32:15 +0000

More cute stuff on sale at Meijer.com! If you’re not familiar with Meijer, it’s a Midwestern big box store- like a Target or Walmart. If you’re lucky enough to have one near you, you can usually ship sale items to your store for free. Like this super cute Mini Tree House- complete with the (fake) mini tree! (Or I wonder if you could replace the fake mini tree with a real one- that would be so cute!) It’s originally $40 and on sale today for $10- 75% off! While you’re over there, the Oxo Tot clearance we linked to a few days ago is even cheaper, and there’s a Sassy Baby Doorway Jumper clearance priced at $20, from an original $60! (Although I think that original price is a little high, but it’s still $35 at Amazon!)

Speaking of Amazon, they have the basic version of the Angelcare Baby Movement and Sound Monitor on sale for $92, 29% off the original $130 if you’re in the market!

And Robeez has three different holiday styles of their soft soles baby shoes on sale for $7.50 today- with free shipping if you buy two pairs!

Pirate Squid, Bumbleride Sale & Free Valentine

Kelly@TotBargains — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:23:21 +0000

I’m thoroughly convinced that if my children ever saw a real-life pirate, they would happily exclaim, “Aw, look at the pirate! He’s so cute!” Heck, I probably would too. Thanks, Disney! But since the chances of that happening are (thankfully) very slim, we’d might as well embrace the pirate culture with “Captain Calamari“, the cutest little squid Lamaze travel toy you’ve ever seen! With teethers, a rattle, and a mirror, he’s hours of tentacle-tastic fun! Originally $17, he’s on sale at Amazon for $11 today, 32% off!

Zulily also has an amazing deal on the gorgeous Bumbleride Queen B stroller set- with the toddler seat, bassinet, and stroller- that retails for $730, and is on sale today for $399! They have that very classic pram look (without the giant price tag!)

And, TinyPrints is offering a FREE personalized Valentine (around $3.99!) with coupon code TPGFREE17A! There’s so many cute ones that you can do with kids pictures- and even import photos from your Facebook account (or a bunch of others!) They offer free shipping to you, or you can have them send it to your recipient (and choose what day they receive it!) for the price of postage. Perfect for daddy, Grandma or Grandpa! I think this coupon code is only good through today, so hop to it!

Bargains for Babies, Tots & Moms!

Kelly@TotBargains — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:12:47 +0000

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

Kelly@TotBargains — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:26:02 +0000

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!)
