Coupons

Well things are progressing and changing in our house.

How, you might be asking?

Well, besides the obvious physical changes to mum, there's been a strange fasination with sales and discount coupons.

Apparently, having children is a costly affair.  To compensate for this mum and dad have been keeping an eye out for discounts in all forms (sales, 2 for 1 offers, and discount coupons).

A prime example of this bargain hunting was a sale at a local supermarket particularly slashing prices for baby products.  Mum and dad went there and found hordes of families scrabbling over the remaining items on the shelves; most of the stock had already been bought. 

Despite the lack of stock, money was spent on nappies, wipes and other changing items.  However, mum and dad were disappointed as they'd hoped there'd be more substantial items i.e. car seats, feeding chairs, etc which were of good quality at a discount.

Oh well, the hunt continues.
