More bargains


We visited Marshalls last night because they had 3 Peg- Perego Pliko 3 strollers in the store marked down over the weekend. We decided to go back and get one since the price was great. They had two reds and 1 green. We purchased the green one. It is a neutral color for either sex, and of course my preference!


We called our close friends here while we were in the store because we could not remember the Consumer Reports rating and we always check that first. We gave them our sign in id to Consumer Reports to make sure that it was okay and they went on line and gave us the 'go". The only thing about the stroller is that it can not be used until the child is about 6 months old in terms of placing the child directly in the stroller seat. We would have to put the infant seat inside it for a younger infant like most travel systems. I have a Chapter Soror who has the stroller and loves it. It is always good to ask people who are using it or who have been using it for a while to give you the real deal as well.


We absolutely have a bargain because the stroller is valued at $349.00 and we purchased it for $159.00 at Marshalls last night. This stroller was not on my list of must haves, but it is worth purchasing to have as an extra stroller for different reasons. My husband loves the fact that the stroller arm handles can extend for taller individuals.


Now, if I could just get the Bugaboo stroller that we want at a deal! I doubt it.
We have 2 more strollers that are on our original list to purchase.







My husband found an infant boys Kenneth Cole suit. He asked me to at least let him have that! I truly think it is difficult to find really cute infant boys clothing. Just my opinion.

Angela, just let me know when you are looking to purchase one. I will let you know when I see more. There are still two red ones there in the store. I will keep an eye out for you. I love finding bargains! Going through this adoptions and planning and purchasing has taught me to be a savvy shopper since a little one is coming. I am going to be honest, before this adoption process I would just shop for myself and not really try to find bargains. I just purchased what I wanted and did not consider anything else. It is funny how a child will change your way of thinking and alter your lifestyle! It is all good.

Last night we were in there picking up some small things and I found some nice Christmas gifts. Well, my husband found a Mens Sean Jean pin stripped suit that was hot, for only $79.00. The jacket was not large enough for his shoulders. It was a 42 and he needed one size larger. He called one of his boys, but it wouldn't work for him either because it was not the right length (regular). It was well worth the $79.00 and it would have been a fabulous gift for someone.
Actually I may purchase it for one of my little cousins thats a freshman in college in NC that will need a nice suit. He is on full academic scholarship and is an athlete with a more smaller build.

T.,
I didn't know that you had this stroller too! I thought that I had paid close attention to your blog and pictures. I am slipping! I am glad to hear that you love it too. I am excited about the purchase and using it.

I wish you guys were here so that we could shop and find our baby bargains together. My girlfriends and I are always calling one another when we see good deals or new shipments of merchandise marked down!
Especially when it is something that I have seen in Bloomingdales or Macys and it is in Marshalls reduced (where it should be anyway)!
