I will be making my own using a new single quilt cut up. You can get them cheaply enough from tesco/argos etc. I reckon a single quilt will do a bumper, 2 quilts and some left over for padding for a nursing chair.

asda do cheap cot bumpers

primark for clothes- well their blankets and towels are lovely and soft there packs of basics like sleepsuits pk3 for £4.50 and pack 5 short sleave vests (body suits) were £2.50 and the best quality that i have of the cheapie ones, unfortunately i find the outfits poor quality and out of size as usual with their stuff, the do shoes sock and booties

on another note we went to dunnes store today and there are some good bargins and some lovely stuff there too got pack 5 socks for £1.50 and 7 pack of coloured bodysuits for £4.50 will be going back thursday when we get paid !!

asda is good too for basics, we have a seconds stall on our market and they have Mothercare stuff half price i cannot see anything wrong with them as they tend to be last seasons stock got £18 pramsuit for £5.99, i love the stall and have to visit everytime i am in town i am skint as spent a lot on her the last 3 weeks i cant stop

I just go when the sales are on and stock up on general stuff from about 20wks when i have had the second scan and know what i am expecting!
I always get bargains and find when i come to sort out what i need for the baby i have it all!
I find any cheapie things last long enough for newborns anyway, certainly primark stuf is pretty good, blankets, hooded robes, and i always found their clothes fine for the amount of time that is spent in them!
Asda is great for sales stuff, picked up a lovely winter coat for my dd when i was pregnant and it was £4 and fab!
Tesco i have had a few packs of vests and sleepsuits when they pop up in the sale!
I also go to the outlets, we have a GAP, Monsoon and Next outlet near to us and the baby stuff is very reasonable, but you just have to be lucky, i picked up in Next 3 sleepsuits, 5 vests, 1 sleep bag, and some baby clothes odds and ends and it came to £20.
Also my dh did a lot of ebay shopping for monsoon dresses last summer, and our dd had a different one for every day of the week, I have put them away just in case i have another girl!

Not sure if i am mean or I just love a bargain!!

I've just got my bedding from Matalan. I got 2 fitted sheets for the Moses basket for 4 pounds and a pack of fitted cot sheets for 6 pounds. Don't know about the quality yet, but they feel nice.

If you are looking for cheap and good quality bedding then Asda is great. They have everything and lots on offfer! Cellular blankets are 2 packs for £6 and a pack has 2 blankets in it. Sheets for moses baskets, cots or cot beds are on the same offer.

Clothes wise they have packs of babygrows and vests for very little money too and lots of cute little outfits.

They do online too if there isn't one near you.

We got some blankets from primark, all the other shops, even expensive ones the blankets just werent soft. We got two from primark, at £4 each and they are great, they have been washed many times, and still good condition. They are my LO's favourite.

wilkinsons do really good bedding ranges as well. I got cellular blankets and would have bought the jungle set if i hadnt alreay got a good priced one from ikea. In my local though its not with the nappies etc, its in a section with the small amount of clothing they do so quite hard to spot!
