Regarding baby items, there is very little that I have bought new. Most have been gifted, thrifted, or purchased off of Craigslist. I recommend starting your baby shopping as early as possible in your pregnancy that way you don't feel rushed to buy things last minute at full price and/or new. Since a lot of baby items are useful for only a year or two, or even sometimes just for a couple weeks I have a hard time validating buying off-the-rack. It's environmentally irresponsible and I'd much rather save that money for a meaningful family vacation (or two)! (:
However, when I do buy new I only buy items that are on-sale. I've been stalking Craigslist for an organic Baby K'tan, but have had no luck over the months. Getting down to the wire, this is one of those rare items that I validate buying new; if it's something that is rubbing against my baby's skin for hours a day, it needs to be as organic and benign as possible.
The organic K'tan's are far out of my budget at $74 on their website. I was however able to find one via Due Maternity for $45. I searched RetailMeNot for any additional savings and was able to find a 10% off code. (Every little bit helps!)
If you don't get regular emails or sales announcements from an online vendor, RetailMeNot is a great place to check for coupon codes. You can often save an additional 5-15% on most online-ordering if you're willing to poke around a little.
