Saving isn't always about coupons

I realized that the AIO cloth diapers that I had purchased for Addisyn before she was born were never going to fit her properly as they were clearly not made for baby's with such chickeny legs lol. I had purchased them used, so I decided to try and sell them for what I paid for them ($110 for 27) and I did:) I also sold an old baby carrier that I had for $30. I then began my search for some new (to us) things for Addisyn. I have become addicted to the group Airdrie Parents Swap and Buy, and heres what I scored from there in the last 3 days:
  • 3x Perkle 9 month sleepers (retail $9.95 each) paid $6 for all Saved $23.85
  • 9 x carters winter sleepers (retail aprox $9,95each) paid $9 for all Saved $80.55
  • 2 x Similac 375g cans (retail 15.99 each) FREE saved $32
  • 1 x Enfamil 375g can (retail $15.99) FREE saved 15.99
  • 1 x Heinz nutrution formula (retail 15.99) FREE saved 15.99
  • 2 x Similac concentrate 385ml cans (retail 3.99 each) FREE saved $8
With the Free formula I also recieved over $40 in coupons for formula(some of which I can stack at London Drugs for more FREE FORMULA!!!)
I also hit up Kijiji this week for some great finds:
  • 13 x Mother ease one size cloth diapers (retail $11.99 each)
I already had two of these diapers which are snug enough around her legs and will take her through potty training
4 x Mother-ease medium wraps (retail $12.25each)
1 x Extral Large Bummis wet bag (retail $19.95)
Paid $85 for all Saved $140
  • 12 x Green mountain size medium (15-29lbs) prefold diapers (retail $32/12) Paid $12 Saved $20 (and shipping prices for these are crazy!)
  • I also picked up my free pocket diaper that I had a voucher for from the great cloth diaper chand (retail $9.95) FREE Saved $9.95
  • As well, I order Addisyn two adorable headbands from Mamabargains (retail $12.98 each) Paid 12.98 for 2 Saved $12.98




Total purchased: $484.13
Total Paid : $124.98
I saved $359.15 + $40 in coupons!!! Remember ladies, it pays to buy gentley used!!!!
P.S. Because I paid for all of this with money from selling other items, I had no money out of pocket for these purchases and still have $15 to spend!!!
