Smart Shopping

I had a dream...a new SET of gear for my baby boy. Eddie Bauer red and black plaid/gray pasiley print.

I dont NEED a new stoller, I dont NEED a new portable crib...but I WANTED new sets.

I NEEDED a new infant carseat - "New" average price for one - $120 - 190 "Used" average price $90 - 140

Thought, well if I'm already buying a new careseat I might as well spend an extra, 40 bucks for a stroller to go with it, for those times I only take the baby with me, I can have a stroller that matches instead of hooking it into my pink one, or using a double stroller with one baby. But again, thats a wish, thought, not a need.

Travel system new average price $180 - 300 Used average $130 - 200

Average Price for a new pack and play - $100 - $190 Used - about $100, But I have one...its pink, but seriously it wouldn't kill a boy to lay in it a couple times, I mean really.

But for the stuff I wanted since its Eddie Bauer

Travel system -$240 and Pack and Play - $150

A total of about $400 for this dream, out of my pocket....probably not going to happen.

Until I go to a random consinment store, no reason, just stopping by. And almost scare my Mom gasping when I saw the pack and play I wanted, took a few more steps and saw the travel system behind it.

They were brought in the day before by a young couple with tons of money, these pieces were "back up" at the grandparents house for their baby, they used them both maybe 3 times each since they had a $800 stoller they use reguerly. THANK YOU RICH SNOBS! LOL Jk, but seriously wow. No wear at all to either of them, and had tags still and every piece.

Travel system - $109



Pack and Play - $70




Total $180 for everything when I was already going to spend about that for one carseat, new OR used.

THAT IS A DEAL PEOPLE! Logan will be one hunky stud muffin!
