1 stars (Ick!) - This book is freaky. It is all about baby stuff that no one buys.. like all the stuff that sits on the shelf at Wal Mart and then gets sold at Big Lots. There are no super-cool things in it at all. If you want to be a dowdy mom with no style, listen to the advice of this author. I found a much better book out there.. I'll post my review on that tomorrow... not finished reading it yet. This one is just icky. 4 stars (I was completely clueless and this book helped a lot!) - I was by myself, (mother and sisters too far away in distance and baby ages), and found this book very helpful to guide me on what was or was not needed. I only would say that I NEVER bought something from where they suggested to get it. I always looked at online savings/cupons and offers. I saved a TON of money and still got the best products for us... for example, look at ebay for things you can clean and machine wash -- we got everything new and that was a mistake we regret. Swing, Bouncy, Mobiles, toys, safety items and decorations, are things you can buy used ans save a lot! There is also the church sales and the statewide garage sales to get good bargains. I went ahead and copied the phrase from the last review (the one that talks about clothe diapers and making your own formula) CANNOT DISAGREE MORE with the savings approach (I'm a working mother) but definitive ABSOLUTELY AGREE with this statement Overall, I would recommend purchasing Baby Bargains. After all, it is a *really* good book for product information, what you need and what you don't. However, it could definitely go farther in saving you money with low cost alternatives and online coupon website recommendations! I have given this book as a present to all my friends that are having babies this year...it can be found for $6-7 and that is your savings by not buying the wipe warmer, for example. 4 stars (Extremely helpful) - There are soooo many things on the market to buy for baby/toddler these days!! ...
