Woohoo feeling Frugal :)

Ask:
I am so proud of myself. I got my little one who will be born in July a really expensive full crib set and decor items for $60 on ebay! I was going to get a similar set at Target for $79 that included only a few items...blanket, valance, and a few crib sheets. I got the full set that is not a copy that retails for $300 currently online for $60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They say that that there is only one small hole in the crib skirt...but I never use those anyway so I got a great deal. I plan on using the same set until my little one grows out of its toddler bed in a few years so this is perfect. I also was frugal by keeping the rooms current color and border. WHen we moved into our house it was already light blue with a fun Jungle border...it was the playroom but with just a Jungle crib set it becomes a nursery.

This is what I got from the Kidsline Malawi line

Crib Bumper,
Quilt/Wall Hanging,
Fitted Sheet,
Diaper Stacker,
Crib Skirt,
Tab-Top Valance
-Lamp Base & Shade
-5 Soft Small Wall Hangings (elephant, giraffe, hippo, horse & alligator)
-Crib Mobile with Music
and
3 Wall hooks horse, hippo and elephant



I also got 2 baby swings and a play gym off of Freecycle.

The next purchase will be a little more but worth it. It is a 4 in 1 crib that actually looks like an adult bed and not just crib pieces when made into a full size bed...saves us money in the long run since we will not end up having to buy a crib, toddler bed and big kid/adult bed in the future.
