I've found great deals in it. Consignment places are another great place to find bargains. For things where being new isn’t a priority craigslist is my go-to place. I’ve found great deals in it.

We've found sooo much at garage sales this year, including, yes, a great GRACO swing and a Fisher Price baby bouncer thing. Both pretty much in like-new condition for $5 each. The baby also has her choice of playmats now, as I picked one up at various garage sales and have received a few as gifts, too. (Everything seems to "convert" to a play mat! LOL) We also found a like-new Ikea changing table in light oak through Freecycle. Honestly, between baby showers from our super-generous friends and family, garage sales and Freecycle, I don't think we've personally spent more than $1000 total on baby stuff...and most of the things we bought were outfits she doesn't need but were just too cute to pass up! Besides, part of the fun of being a mother to be is buying cute stuff for your soon-to-be little girl, right? We just bought one of those car mirrors, too... We went for the one without the toys, though... We figure she has enough toys that play music, etc. and we can always play the radio. Car rides may be the only time we're not hearing electronically-generated lullabies.
