I LOVE good deals!

So tonight we went to do a little shopping. Lilly has a friend who's having a birthday party and we needed to go out and get her a gift. We decided to go to Toys R Us, since we usually have had good experiences with them price wise. Jesse noticed that the video games were buy one get one $20 off. I had already bought him a game for Christmas, but decided for the price I paid we could return the one I bought, buy the game again at the same price PLUS get another game for only $10. With our purchase we also got a $10 gift card.

We have been telling ourselves lately that Lilly needs a bigger stroller, since her feet almost touch the ground, but never get around to doing anything about it. We had gotten the old stroller when she was first born and it served it's purpose for the $15 or so we spent on it. Since we had a $10 gift card AND a 15% off coupon for Babies R Us, we decided to just look there and see if they had anything. Lucky for us they did. The stroller we got was normally $120.00, but on clearance for $65. It was also the last box they had. So in the end we only spent $45 for this INCREDIBLE stroller. It is one of those travel-system strollers, so when we have another baby, the car seat will latch right onto the stroller. AND it's plenty big and comfortable for Lilly's ever-growing body. It's also neutral colors which is PERFECT if we end up having a boy somewhere down the road.

I need a new stroller too. Olivia figured how to climb out of her seat belt in my beloved umbrella stroller. I even made it real snug, but out she slipped more than once. I will have to watch for a good deal. It is just very hard to justify buying something new when she is the last.
Love Shar

Very cute! I love finding great deals. We just bought Gavin's stroller when he was born because Tanner's got caught in a bad storm..hehe. We got a new travel system with the car seat...now a year later I have to go out and buy a double stroller in the same pattern. Good grief!
