A new baby can take a surprisingly big bite out of your budget. Here are four easy ways to save:
Take advantage of freebies and coupons. If you don’t mind getting your name on mailing lists, call the toll-free customer-service lines or register at the Web sites of formula, baby-food, and disposable diaper companies for their parenting newsletter and new-parent programs, including coupons and free samples. Even if you don’t register, you may get them anyway. Somehow, when you have a new baby, word gets out.
Consider a discount club membership. At places like Costco or Sam’s Club, you’ll reap discounts on everyday items you’ll use a lot of such as disposable diapers, baby wipes, and laundry detergent. Also, sign on for the loyalty savings card program at your drugstore and supermarket and you’ll receive coupons that can rack up savings.
