Super!!!! I'll post the few I found earlier!! Thanks

I'll put my best ever pregnancy hack in here:

In mothercare the sales assistant told me that these for a mere €17 was a lot less expensive than a whole new wardrobe.

As if.

I used a ponytail band instead.

Just bought these two little dresses and got free postage as it was over €30

The Boots Baby Event starts today until 24th May. You can also sign up for their Parenting Club where you get 10 points for every euro spent on Mother & Baby products (normally 4 points per euro with Advantage Card).

RE leggings- Penneys have some high-waisted leggings which are cheap and are pretty good! The waistband is similar to an 'underbump' fit and the elastic doesn't cut into you. They were secure enough to get me through yoga last night so would recommend!

Nice bit of paddy tax there - the same deal as part of the baby event is 2 for £5 here! I've been stocking up because my son is going through a crazy amount of size 2's...

Yeah we always get the raw end of the deal here, £5 to €7.50 is pretty good imo!

I worked in a shoe shop during college, the shoes came from the UK priced in sterling and we used an "exchange" rate sheet to convert the price to euro and stick a sticker over the sterling price. It was scandalous the mark up, actual daylight robbery and had no logic behind it.

I also saw on fb this morning a pic that's gone viral. A bottle of prosecco in tesco Scotland is £5.99 whereas the same bottle in ROI is €17.50!!!!! I draw the line at messing with prosecco

The excise duty for this country is One of the highest in the EU, hence the high cost of alcohol in this country! Government to blame for that one & for all the high taxes here!! It is annoying seeing how much cheaper things are in the UK when the two prices are on the labels!

There is 15% of H&M today only including mat and nursing clothes. Code is 6040 and included free delivery.

I was in TK Maxx yesterday (in the Tralee store), and they had those Yummy Mummy Changing bags in stock! They were a lot cheaper than the RRP, I think it was about €65 or €69. Still pricey, but a lot cheaper than I've seen them before. They should be in the other stores.

20% off M&S until 23rd May with code MAY16EM

I usually get this at Aldi or Penneys (can't remember which :rolleyes:). They usually have it for even less than that.

yep, penneys, they do it for 8 Euro.

Aldi also had a baby sale last week, there might still be some baby grows and vests left in some stores.
Yesterday I picked up 3 sets of vestsx3, 3 sets of baby growsx3 and a changing mat for 38 Euro.

Lidl is having a maternity section next week. I'm planning on getting their yoga pants for 8 Euro.

Ladies, I went to Lidl in Togher this morning for the baby event. Very little there for new borns, but some nice maternity clothes. Got a dress for €9 and a top for €7 - can't argue with that!

They had lots of spoons and plates etc for feeding older babies so I would say it would be very useful if any of you are in the market for that stuff.

Not sure if this is what all lidl's have as part of this baby event or if different shops get different stuff.
