Hi there :)
Any advice for a young couple who just found out that they are going to have an oopsie-baby and are on a budget? Where are the best bargains on maternity clothes, baby stuff, cot… etc
They will also need a car for their expanding family, which currently includes the 2 of them and Marley, their Labrador.
Cheers,
JJB
My advise would be to ask around to see if there is any hammy downs from family and friends. Expect a lot of gifts, so hold back on blowing any money prior. New car would be more or less a want more than a need, eg we have a 4 door hatch and it fits our family of 3 plus a dog just fine. If you're definite on wanting to buy something, be patient and search around on Gumtree/Ebay. You'd be surprise on how much near new items you can buy for a fraction of the price if you don't mind it being second hand.
First thing I'd buy is a vasectomy to stop it happening again
Not sure why I'm being negged - he already has two kids and this one is an accident (oops) - why wouldn't you get a vasectomy?
It's their first child.
Oh, I thought it was you OP having the third baby.
Reads like that to me. Usually one says 'asking for a friend'
@bluesky: I have a cat and a dog. I've even posted pics of my dog, who admittedly, looks more like a cat than a dog :)
@Jar Jar Binks: Haha, I see. I must have only read your comments when cat was mentioned. And besides, your avatar … :-)
When the kid grows up I hope he/she doesn't come across this thread. Also hey from 2016! :)
Baby stuffs, join swap/sell/recycle group on Facebook. Those groups usually have LOTS of second hand baby stuffs either for free or for a very cheap price. I.e. a box of baby clothes for $20
Congratulations btw!
