Mommies, this is our chance to start the year with discounts and massive savings! The Grand Baby Company Fair last year was a major success that it’s going to happen again on January 27-29 at the SM Megatrade Halls 2&3. Up to 70% off on selected items! Read on below for some of my tips when shopping for baby and toddler essentials:
Save on shopping during this Baby Fair with these tips:
1. Make sure you have your SM Advantage card or if you already have the Baby Company Mom Card – the better! You may just earn valuable points and bonus discounts when you swipe those plastic cards.
2. Come with a list! Never shop without one. Identify big and small ticket items you will need for 2012 and depending on your baby’s age. Do you need a crib, high chair, stroller? This is the perfect event to buy them discounted but with plenty of choices. If buying big items, make sure you hit the mall early before the place is filled with more shoppers. You’ll also get to decide properly without being too hurried.
3. Small ticket items include the most important diapers, if you have extra money – buy as many as you can to save heaps! Your brand may have special offers like a pack coming with two extra diapers or with free toys/books. Make sure that your baby won’t outgrow the diapers though, be careful and estimate properly.
4. Other necessities you should look out for: baby wipes (follow the same rule as #3), clothes & shoes for important events, baby cotton buds, baby shampoos and washes. I’m sure you can name more!
5. Bring your green bag and if possible, bring your car with you if you plan to make the most of this sale so you won’t have to worry about lugging all your discounted hauls that will save you enough money for your savings account.
6. Pay in cash as much as possible, credit card machines may just be too busy during this time and what if they suddenly go offline? you get the picture! Plus, using cash lets you budget more.
Are you getting excited now? I am! So see you all there mommies 🙂
