Saving's so far from buying used...

I think I have pretty much finished purchasing all of the big baby items that we will be needing when these little guys arrive and I have to say that I'm feeling pretty proud of myself and how much money I saved by buying used (or sometimes new) off of craigslist. Here's a list of my savings so far...

Cribs:
New - $300 each
Used - 2 for $160

Car seats:
New - $200 each
Used - 2 for $150

Double Stroller:
New - $280
Used - $180...still in box only used once

Triple jogging stroller:
New - $1200
Used - $380

Breast pump:
New - $280
Used - $175...new in sealed and unopened box

Total savings:
$1045

Maybe I should try to convince Josh to let me use the "saved money" for a clothing shopping spree a few months after the babies come...really, two babies with one pregnancy...I think I'll deserve and need some new clothes!

I think you deserve whatever you want! You have my permission. How are you feeling?

you are the bargain shopper... way to go! Let me know if you need help convincing Josh of your "need" for a new wardrobe. :)

Way to save Becky! I know it all adds up fast and so do the diapers each day. Your are a super woman and I know you will be a great mommy of three. Let me know how you like your triple jogger. I would love a triple stroller. Myles is still too small to walk everywhere. What kind is it and where did you find it?
