Since we’re traveling soon with the Baby, we’ve been on the hunt for a small, light and collapsible stroller frame that the car seat will snap into.

Our current stroller, which I call the SUV, is just too big to take on the airplanes.

We found one we liked at Babies R Us for $70.

Then, we found it on amazon.com for $60. So, I ordered it.

But, the last night, Target had it on clearance for $49. So, I called Amazon from my cell phone and canceled the order I had with them and bought it from Target instead.

Target.com recently had a pretty sweet deal on baby products.

If you bought three items, you’d get 20% off. And, if you spent over $50, you’d get free shipping. But, I also had a link through AAA which provided an additional 10% off.

Check this out:

• 6 boxes of Pampers Swaddlers
  Regular Price : $41.99/ea
  Sale Price : $29.40/ea
  $251.94 – $50.38 (Target 20%) - $25.19 (AAA 10%) = $176.37
• 3 boxes of 512 count Pampers Sensitive Wipes
  Regular Price : $12.99/ea
  Sale Price : $9.09/ea
  $38.97 – $7.79 (Target 20%) - $3.90 (AAA 10%) = $27.28
• 3 containers of Similac Sensitive Infant Formula
  Regular Price : $23.79/ea
  Sale Price : $16.65/ea This is crazy cheap for formula.
  $71.37 – $14.27 (Target 20%) - $7.14 (AAA 10%) = $49.96

I also attempted to combine these purchases with the 10% cash back offer from bing.com. If that proves successful (I’m doubtful), that will bring down the prices even further …

I got a box of 576 Huggies Natural Care wipes for $6.50 (on clearance) today at Target. 1.1¢ a wipe? SOLD!

I had to share a really good deal I got on Pampers Swaddlers diapers today at CVS.

On cvstoday.com, CVS had posted that they were selling Pampers Jumbo Packs for $8.99. And, for each pack you bought, you’d get $5 Extra Care Bucks (ECB). No limit was posted.

I went to CVS earlier today and bought 3 packs since the shelf sign said limit 3. When my receipt printed, the ECB were not there. So, I showed the manager the print-out and she printed $15 ECB for me.

So, I got 44 Pampers for a net cost $3.99 three times (132 diapers for $11.97). THAT IS CRAZY CHEAP. That’s only 9¢ per diaper. That’s pretty good considering I just paid $17.99 for 66 Pampers Sensitive diapers at Target yesterday – that’s 27¢ a diaper.

After looking into the deal further, it appears this was a mistake made by CVS. The $5 ECB should have not have been posted. But, it was. And, I got the deal.

Made me happy, anyway.

I went to Target yesterday evening. They had several packages of diapers and wipes on clearance.

I got two 192 count packages of Pampers Baby Dry Size 1-2 diapers for $20.28 each (reduced from $30). Combined with two $2 coupons, that’s 384 for $36.56 (9.5¢ a diaper).

And, I got a 504 count box of Huggies Sensitive Baby Wipes for $11.04 (reduced from $13). Combined with a $1 coupon, that works out to be 2¢ a wipe – a pretty darn good deal.

After spending an hour or so in Paint Shop Pro (Version 6, believe it or not, released in 1999 – how old school! PSP is up to version 12. I just have never felt the need to upgrade.), I have come up with what Christina & I think is a suitable birth announcement. I have ordered a 4×6 and 5×7 from Target and I’ll pick it up tomorrow to see how it looks. If it looks nice, this is what we will send out.

Update : The 4×6 came out great, but the 5×7 looked a little discolored. I don’t know if that’s because there was a problem with Target’s photo printing equipment or a result of the photo being stretched. So, we ordered 100 4×6 announcements. We saved quite a bit of money, too. For the announcements and the envelopes, we probably spent about $30. Had we ordered them from the professional printing service, it would have cost $179. Sorry, but that extra $149 will buy lots and lots of diapers. Who the heck can afford to spend that much on birth announcements anyway? Sheez.
