New parents spend nearly $10,000 in their baby’s first year alone, according to a survey of thousands of moms by BabyCenter.com. Forty percent of moms reported that having a baby cost a lot more than they expected, and 70 percent of new mothers said they are more anxious about money since having a child, according to the survey.
Family savings expert Kimberly Danger knows firsthand how expensive having a baby can be as the mother of two herself. That’s why she founded Mommysavers.com in 2000 as a forum for women to share their tips and advice on saving money on baby items. The website receives more than 3 million visitors each month.
Her new book, The Complete Book of Baby Bargains: 1,000+ Best Ways to Save Money Every Day (ISBN 978-1-4022-3717-1; MARCH 2010; $12.99 U.S./$14.99 CAN; Parenting; Trade Paper), is a collection of the best money-saving baby advice that has been shared on the website over the last 10 years.About the Author
Presented in an easy-to-read format for busy new mothers, The Complete Book of Baby Bargains features more than 1,000 tips that will save readers up to 80 percent on everything from bedding to diapers. Danger also highlights where to get the best free stuff for your baby, reveals items that are worth the extra expense (and those you are better off without!), shares clever tips for reusing baby items, and gives advice on finding great discounts in stores and online.
The Complete Book of Baby Bargains shows parents they can raise an infant on modest means without depriving their baby of anything. With a little time and creativity, any parent can learn to get by on even the strictest budget!
Kimberly Danger is the founder of Mommysavers.com, a website created in 2000 to help moms save time and money, which receives more than 3 million page views per month. Danger serves as the spokeswoman for Uniroyal Tire’s More Mileage for Your Money campaign. She is also the author of Instant Bargains: 600+ Ways to Shrink Your Grocery Bills and Eat Well For Less (Sourcebooks). www.Mommysavers.com.After reading The Complete Book of Baby Bargains, I really wish I had this when I was pregnant with Tobin. I am now realizing I spent thousands of dollars more than I really needed to on products and services that were either unecessary or I could have found much cheaper or even made myself. This book is filled with so many bargains and tips, I really think every parent should have this as their baby bible! It tells you what you need, what you can do without, what things you can get for free, where to shop for bargains, what you should buy used, what things to reuse and what to do with them, and what products are worth spending the extra money for. It even gives recipes for things that you can make at home such as homemade baby wipes, homemade bathtub soap crayons, and even homemade bath time finger paints!
This book is filled with great advice such as ways to cure diaper rash, help with colic, and so much more! There is so much information in this book and all of it is very useful. I read this book cover to cover and yet I didn't feel overloaded by the information because each tip is numbered and broken into their own paragraphs. The whole book is an easy read and the information is something every parent should know. This book isn't just for new parents, I have found many tips that I can use now to save me lots of money. For our next baby, I plan on using even more of these tips and advice to save even more. So quit wasting your money and read The Complete Book of Baby Bargains by Kimberly Danger so you can save!
