​Saving Money when on Maternity Leave - May 2016

​My tip for preparing for a baby and toddler is to peruse eBay for bundles. People use so little of the small gear and can often package it all together more cheaply than pop shops or sales. Also, look locally. We got some great bargains that way. 

My most important tip is to beware of online shopping. I was used to feeling a sense of accomplishment at work that I seemed to channel into shopping online while Bub was sleeping. I couldn't leave the house but I could get her the clothes, food or accessories I was convinced we needed. I have to admit, I didn't realise I was still doing this (now back at work) until I signed up here. PayPal can be too easy sometimes!
