Hey Kacie!

I linked your deal on wipes @ Rite Aid into the Mr Linky on my Frugal Deals Roundup post here:

On the baby clothes, between some “handed down” by friends and shower gifts, I had oodles of the smaller sizes. Suddenly we hit 9-12 months with minimal clothing, LOL! Also, if you do yard sales, always watch for toddler sizes in great condition as those tend to get a lot harder to find (boys that age can get rough on clothes!). I used (and still do) the bags that comforters, etc come in (clear, plastic, zip-up) to sort sizes. I wash everything, then add to the appropriate bag, so when I need it, it’s ready to go.

Something I’ve learned about baby wipes is if you rip them in half then use them they go a lot farther!

We were given so many clothes up to the 12 month size, so I’d also encourage you to not go too crazy until after you have all your baby showers and after he’s born. Of course it’s impossible to avoid buying SOME baby clothes!!

I wanted to share my baby wipe passion with you. We use the Target generic brand wipes. you can get 432 for 7.99 (that’s the unscented, I don’t know if it’s different for other kinds) but they are so thick and NICE!! We’ve even accidentally washed some with the cloth diapers and they go through the washer AND DRYER without falling apart and leaving lint on everything! That’s what I call a good wipe.

Yeah right now, we’re focusing on 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and 6-9 months. I don’t think we’ll try to go larger than that right now since we only have so much storage and plus, if he grows faster or slower than I predict, some clothes might not be used.

I’m keeping an inventory of all that we collect so we hopefully won’t have too much or not enough of any one size.

We used lots of baby wipes when our daughter was very young, but we gradually shifted to just spraying water on washcloths when we were home and saving the wipes for times we were away from the house. If you can't keep yourself from buying baby clothes, aim for more stuff in the 12 to 18 month range. We were given so many tiny clothes that I don't know if we even used all of them, but our wardrobe has gaps to fill now that our daughter is a little older. Also make sure you match the season (summer or winter stuff) to what size your baby will be at the time! KayleighJeanne's last blog post..Updates

Oh how I love baby clothes. They are addicting. Though a tip from a mom to a mom, make sure you buy other sizes then 0-3months and new born ;) You may be already on the ball with that but I noticed when we had our first daughter I purchased a ton of 0-3months on ebay but barely any 3-6, 6-9 or 12 months.

Also check out Ebay for baby clothes. I got some fantastic deals on bundles of clothes through ebay when I was pregnant with my first. I always check ebay before I go buy it for retail price or on sale at the store.
