Tips on Baby Registries

So I have a couple tips on baby registries for you that I found are extremely helpful.


  1. Start as many baby registries as possible - this may sound weird, but there are a couple very good reasons.
  • First of all, different stores carry different products. There's going to be different brands and even different items from the same brand at different places. Bottom line, there will be things you like at some stores better than other stores and you should know exactly what all of your options are because it's okay to register at more than one place.
  • Secondly, when you make a baby registry, the store gives you a bag of samples, and we all love those! Some of the best samples they give you are the mini bottles of baby soap, shampoo, and lotion. These are amazing for diaper bags! It's been a few times before where I've been somewhere and my son had such an awful blowout that it was just easier to wash him off in a sink, and I was very glad I had that baby wash in the pocket of my diaper bag! They do these sample bags at Walmart, Target, Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby, and even some maternity stores. And the more you register at, the more you get, and you'll never have to buy the mini ones!
      2.  I highly recommend that when you're deciding on where to do your main or only official registry that you tell everyone about, that it be with Babies R Us. I had never planned on doing our main registry there, but when we actually sat down and talked to someone about it, it was a no brainer!
  • Babies R Us is known for being a little bit pricier, but what a lot of people don't know is that they price match any other store with the same product, and chances are that they're going to have the majority of the same products that other stores have with even more of a selection, and anything you find, just see if it's cheaper somewhere else before you buy it and have them price match. 
  • Babies R Us gives you cash back on every purchase made from your registry! No other store has a registry program that good. Put absolutely everything you're going to buy for your baby on this registry and you'll make more money! About six weeks after your original due date, you'll get a gift card for all the cash back. My husband and I got a gift card for $120 about six weeks after our baby was born!!

Comment if you have any questions! I'm full of information and I'd love to answer them!

Huggies Rewards Program

I got this package of diapers COMPLETELY FREE!! Wanna hear how?? In my last post I said that I would make a post going more into detail on the diaper rewards programs, so here it is! I'm a Huggies mom, so I'm going to stick to writing about what I know for now and just tell you about Huggies rewards program. So like typical rewards programs, you buy Huggies diapers and wipes and you get points for everything you buy.   Save your receipts because that's how you get your points. You scan your receipt with the app and it usually doesn't take more than a day or two for it to process. What I like about Huggies though is that they give you other ways to get points as well. If you look on their app every so often, they'll give you points for watching videos and reading articles that they've posted. I check everyday just to make sure that I don't miss out on any points! They have prizes other than diapers, like gift cards, but I like to stick with the d...

Saving On Diapers

Diapers...the big money sucker when babies come a long.. I used to joke around with our friends that we couldn't do anything because we were diaper poor. This really wasn't the case, but all the money you spend on diapers can really add up after a while! So here are some ways that I have learned you can really save money on diapers, some before the baby is born (which may be a little late for some of you), and also after they're here. Diaper Rewards Programs : this one isn't necessarily a huge money saver, but I think most of us will take all the help we can get, and a free package of diapers every now and then is always nice! I'm trying to make sure these posts aren't packed too full of information, so my next post will go more into detail on this one. But here's a link in case you want to start early!  Huggies Rewards Sign-Up Baby Showers: These are a great way in general to get a lot of things you need for when baby comes, and I'll talk more abou...
