Addicted to bargains!


I have a serious problem... I cant stop myself buying baby clothes! As the title suggests I am addicted to bargains. I love primark, I over used that vertbaudet voucher with £15 off. I went mad when Blooming Marvelous had a buy one get one free sale, and Im always on ebay looking at bundles and dresses!

Is it a bargain if you dont really need it or have no where to put the stuff? She prob wont have time to wear all the stuff Ive bought so far and Ive got 14 weeks left to go. I think boredom doesnt help.

I'm like that too!! Especially getting baby clothes - we've already got loads but if I spot a bargain....

I'm hoping to develop the addiction in to a selling things on ebay addiction at some point - probably when we're burried in so many clothes that something must be done!!!

Oh how I love a bargain! Hubby does as well, so every time we're out, if we see something baby-related that's too good to pass up, we get it! There are a few more bargains we want to stock up on, like fleecy receiving blankets at Ikea for £2.69 each! It's just so much fun shopping for baby

I know from experience what happens! You spend loads of money before hand and then 3 months after your baby is born and they have outgrown most of the stuff you bought and they didn't wear loads of it! You will look through it all and end up keeping loads "for the next baby" and then thinking, what a waste of money that lot was

Then you give it away and never see it again! Everyone does it with their first and as you have more you tend to get more prudent with the outfits as you learn. I have bought 2 sleep suits and they were neutral. Now I can buy pink stuff and I probs won't but a lot either. This is my 4th so I know by now what I need and waht is just silly lol

We've not bought many clothes, to be honest - we've been limiting ourselves cause we don't want to end up with tons of things baby will never use. We just have tried to restrain ourselves and buy what's needed, but only if it's a bargain! LOL

Ebay is one of my favourites these days!
