Two great deals for Fluffheads
Well if you like your nappy deals, (what fluffhead doesn't?), we have not one but two fantastic deals right now.
ECONOBUM BOGOF
First for all the econobum fans, or for those who simply have not tried them yet, we are doing BUY ONE GET ONE FREE. Yes thats right BUY ONE GET ONE FREE! on trial packs only.
For those of you who do not know econobum, its a very very economical cloth nappy system. A birth to potty set of 6 onesize wraps and 24 onesize prefolds {all ethically made} can be purchased for less than £90. We have found that many parents are buying a day pack {2 wraps and 6 prefolds - £27.50}, as their just in case nappies - for when life throws curveballs and you just need extra nappies. Econobum is the perfect option.
But as usual we like to have a little fun online. We are giving away some econobum onesize wraps to people who tell us their best budgeting tips for new parents.
We are also seeking to give some econobum away to parents who need help later this year. If you know of any schemes which would appreciate this help, please get in touch and let us know. Econobum is not about making profit, its about helping as many families as possible use cloth nappies.

Watch out for clothes sales and if you spot a bargain, buy it in more than one size!
Also, one thing that can cost when you have little ones, is the fact that they need feeding often, and when you are out it can be expensive, so I always keep a bottle of mineral water in the car, and some mini cartons of fruit juice. I also have a snack pot and take the time to make some sandwiches. That has saved us a fortune, and great for those traffic jams in the summer!
Keep an eye out for supermarket baby events, usually have good deals on sterilisers and bottles etc.
Do invest in a pack of vest extenders, they have saved me a fortune on baby vests :)
And definately use cloth wipes, even if you are using disposable nappies. They will have paid for themselves before baby is 3 months old. And so much nicer for baby's botty :)
Buy what 'you' think you need, not what 'they' recommend!!!
Don't rush to get everything before your baby comes along - some things you will realise that you will use and you soon realise what you won't.
Sell sell sell! Use preloved boards to sell on unwated items, don't just sling them in the back of a cupboard!
Don't spend a fortune on a big pram because you will soon find yourself downsizing to a lightweight buggy!
If you know other parents with small children take turns at looking after each others children. Means you get a night out and you save a fortune on babysitting fees!
If you plan to have your children close together keep your baby clothes that are in good condition, my second little boy has a whole wardrobe of clothes waiting for him to grow into!
Essentials are:
- breasts
- big bed
- sling/wrap/etc
- clothes
- cloth
- water
I know this is very basic but it gets you through. Everything else is just a bonus or a waste of money.
eBay, charity shops, NCT sales, relatives/friends with older children, making your own...are all good for getting bargains. :)

Thanks for taking part everyone
Also, no expensive buggy, just one really good baby carrier.
i also use cloth nappies to save $$
I make my own of everything I can. clothes, toys, etc.
We cosleep so no need for expensive cribs.
I buy almost everything second hand for at least half the cost of new. Online website are great for that.
I prefered wool breast pads - a way cheeper and ecological than disposables, so caused a nasty rash.
Just getting into reusable nappies - now I've found some I like - Bumgenius and Tots Bots - using then is saving me a pack of nappies a week, and I only use part time (not got enough yet to go full time)
