Just posted in the December group, but Penney's have a new maternity range of PJ's and underwear... the assistant said they are getting jeans and other items next week. PJ bottoms were €8, PJ tops are €8 (they had two styles, a nursing top (vest) with front opening buttons and a little bit of lace detail at the back and a t-shirt style (I bought this, but going to take it back as the logo is very plastic and feels hard)). The also had dressing gowns and cami vests

Aldi event had a baby rocker reduced to 16 Euro, dunno if other Aldi's have any left now, but thought it was great value!

mamasandpapas.com are having a 20% and some price matched items sale at the moment as well. Gro Egg down to 18 Euro, Acqua Bambino two stage bath down to 30, and they price match the Isofix Maxi Cosi FamilyFix base at 219, which is cheapest I've seen.

Boots have 5 packs of pamper nappies fr €27 this week (also boxes of mulit pack pampers wipes are included in the deal)

The have the new born size 1 and 2 in the sensitive as part of the deal

Not sure when it started but just noticed today that the Mothercare website has a good sale on at the moment - a good few bits and pieces reduced although lots of the sale clothes seem to be gone. Some good pram reductions though by the looks of it.

The Chicco Next2me co sleeper is 188 delivered from Tralee Nursery Supplies, they're selling it everywhere else in Ireland for 210 upwards. It even works out better value than amazon at the moment.

Took a spin up North today and picked up lots of bargains with excellent rate against sterling.
Went into Boots and purchased video monitors - Motorola MBP 18 for £59 (€65.50)
The very same ones are €89.99 on Boots.ie & in Smyths.

Got the "leisure trousers" in Lidl at the weekend, they're really really comfy. They're light and thin, but perfect for around the house, walking etc.
Gonna go back tomorrow and see if there are any left, for €9 they're great value.

Jen44 · 11-10-2016 8:09am

Do you mind me asking how long did it take for this to arrive after you registered? I signed up a few weeks ago but haven't had an acknowledgement mail or any response.

Thx.

I registered last month but only received an email to collect mine this afternoon.

stickybean · 20-10-2016 8:50am

I registered in September and got the email last week

dori_dormer · 20-10-2016 11:07am

They are staggering the collections so you could get it anytime. I signed up and got email the next day. Must be in low demand area!

whiskeyman · 20-10-2016 1:44pm

I signed up last month, but got a mail last week (or before last) just saying due to huge response they'll be a bit longer but will be in touch soon.

HelgaWard · 28-10-2016 9:36am

Great value in Smyths at the moment on baby equipment with their money off vouchers http://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/.

I live near the border so was able to head to newry and got an Angel Care Monitor, Avent Steriliser and 2 packets of bottles. Bought them in two separate transactions and got £30 off using the vouchers. The same items were €40 more expensive in the Smyths in the South. Also just checked them on the Argos UK website and it would have cost about £60 more to get the same items there.

Lidl and Aldi both have baby events next week. The Lidl one is on Monday 16th and includes some maternity wear as well as baby clothes. All details on their website. I just spotted the Aldi one advertised in store today but its not on the website yet. Its on Thurs 19th and the poster in store featured a Moses basket for 30 euro.

There is a group on Facebook called Beady Eye Bargains. They have a post on nappies/wipes etc that people constantly update with offers. You have to request to join the group. They post loads of offers, many of which are baby related! There is also an app called Baby Doc which compares prices at the major supermarkets for nappies and other baby essentials. It seems to be very current as well.

Gatica · 19-01-2017 5:01pm

Today's Aldi event was absolutely brilliant!

Packs of 3 soft muslins for 2.49, cotton swaddling and cellular blankets, pushchair, high chair, safety gates, play pen, bath toys and soft pouring jug, and teething toys...

Where is good for maternity skinny jeans? Bought a pair in new look on last pg but never wore as they were poor quality and far too loose around the waste despite being the right size otherwise.

I bought a lovely pair in Debenhams last time. Or at least, They looked nice, but were under the bump and I was constantly hitching them up. I bought a similar pair yesterday, but these are over the bump, so way more comfy!

Edited to add, the similar pair also came from Debenhams!

heldel00 · 11-02-2017 8:42am

Gap do lovely maternity jeans. Sizes run big though. Topshop is ok too.

Jen44 · 11-02-2017 11:28am

Found h+m the best

Justsmile1 · 18-02-2017 10:57pm

Heldel00 had a look on gap theres so many options, what style did you say were comfortable? Thanks

heldel00 · 19-02-2017 3:09pm

I got a lovely pair of boot cut navy ones with over the bump material. Very comfy. Can't think of the style name and they are packed away in the attic!!!

73trix · 20-02-2017 7:29pm

Tried on the new look ones I bought last time to remind myself what was so wrong with them. Got my size 10 but they were way too big. Never brought them back. Bit of a waste..

Aldi had newborn nappies €1.60 a pack yesterday. .. handy bargain.

comongethappy · 13-06-2017 3:15pm

Maternity clothes, nursing bras and baby clothes in lidl this week.

Got a couple nursing bras and quite happy with them, and I think that nappies are reduced this weekend

Milly33 · 14-06-2017 1:04pm

I am using this breast pump at the moment and find it brilliant http://www.boots.ie/nuby-natural-touch-digital-breast-pump-10205686 - half price at Boots online

Milly33 · 16-06-2017 1:43pm

Thanks for the tip, is this a manual pump then

mrsmags16 · 16-06-2017 4:30pm

no, electric, very efficient

Milly33 · 16-06-2017 6:24pm

Ah ok sorry I didnt see a plug so was thinking it was manual... mmmmmm might be a good idea so not due for ages but i presume ill be needing one...

Milly33 · 17-06-2017 9:54pm

Mother care system spotted today http://www.mothercare.ie/pushchairs/prams-pushchairs/bundle-deals/mothercare-roam-four-wheel-base-pack-silver-pushchair-colour-pack-red-pushchair.html

Took a spin off it in the shop and it is very nice for the price.. In store it says it is €349.00 so not sure is there some online pricing error

Milly33 · 17-06-2017 10:05pm

I can see the differance there sorry, can somone tell me what a base pack is then

Hi Milly33,
Honestly I wouldn't rush to get a pump til you need one.
I'd also highly recommend looking at a double electric pump, it halves the pumping time (assuming you pump from both) and most can be used in single mode.

Assuming am is going well with feeding, pumping isn't recommended til 6 weeks anyway to allow your supply time to regulate.

I have the ameda lactaline double pump, I got it from boots for €74. Around the 6 week pp mark, I got an offer through the parenting club for €30 off any pump, also an offer for €15 off a spend over €60 so it all helped to reduce the cost.

Great value. I think a base pack is the black basket and black part under the pram covers. The colour pack is the red pieces! That's what it was anyway when I was ordering my bugaboo!

I agree 100% with other poster on pumps.....wait till you have the baby. I personally hated pumping, you may end up formula feeding you never know

I used a double pump as did my sister!

Someone posted on here not terribly long ago for advice on a mothercare travel system, and the reports back were that it wasn't great. I can't remember the details though!

I also would say don't buy a pump just yet. If you do want to pump, you're not really meant to do it until baby is around 6 weeks, so I'd hold off and see! There's often different ones reduced! If you really want to breastfeed, I'd spend the money on a breastfeeding prep course instead. I did one on my first, and it was the best money I spent!

Millem · 18-06-2017 10:09am

Bella baby have the maxi cosi cabriofix for ?109 in mosaic blue and the pebble plus for ?159 (?100 off) in a similar colour (triangular flow) http://www.bellababy.ie/pebbleplustriangularflow-p-10466.html

rainbow kirby · 18-06-2017 10:20pm

I had the Roam... for 4 weeks. Didn't suit us at all, replaced it with a secondhand Baby Jogger City Mini and that was much better.

Milly33 · 19-06-2017 11:57am

Thank you all for the advice on the pumps... I just like to be super organised all the time but yes suppose tis right I dont know what is going to happen so waiting it best. I have both those pumps marked down ask good ones so ill keep a look out for them.. Thank you again ladies the help is great...

And rainbow, thanks too. I am mad for hte baby jogger tis so just so pricey new we are keeping an eye out for second hand too.. Going to make a list the end of next month of the definates we want and take it from there.. It keeps coming back to the jogger though

Ms. Chanandler Bong · 21-06-2017 12:17am

Littlewoods have a Tommy Tippee Complete feeding set for half price, €114 vs €230. Steriliser, bottle warmer, 4 small & 3 large bottles, carry bags, etc. You also get 20% off with your first order so that brings it down to €91.20!!

Have you considered buying from the UK? Weak sterling makes the pricing very favourable.

Milly33 · 21-06-2017 3:40pm

Hi Rainbow, dya know we were only saying it the other day I wonder would there be that much of a differance in prices.. might check it out there any uk places your recommend

I actually just got it for 89 on Mama's and Pappas. I went to pay on Littlewoods and it was asking me to set up account etc so i just googled the product and got it cheaper. Happy days!!
