Here is a tip I have for expecting moms who are feeling the financial pinch of today's bad economy.
Get 2nd-hand baby things!
Yes it is alright as long as you know where to get them. There is nothing to be ashamed of if it's 2nd-hand or a hand-me-down.
(1) Baby Strollers - These don't come cheap. Buying a cheap one is not advisable. You could go to relatives or close friends who've had babies before but don't use their strollers anymore. Offer to buy it from them at a cheaper price. If they're feeling generours, they might just give it to you for free
(2) Crib - Another baby furniture that aren't cheap. You can save a lot of money if you bought it cheap off of your sister or close friends. Perhaps you have officemates who will offer to sell theirs at a cheap price.
(3) Baby Car Seats - Again ask around. I'm pretty sure many will have available for disposal and will gladly sell it to you at a friendly price.
Be sure to clean and sterilize properly before using. Dust and dirt probably has stuck after months or years of being unused.
