I got all my maternity stuff at various yard sales (or given to me by others), and bought all my children's clothes there, and everything else I needed that I didn't have given to me. Also cloth diapers. I never bought one thing of baby food of any sort (figuring that babies survived plenty long before Gerber was on the scene, so our grandmothers and beyond must have been able to manage without it). I was given a few jars of baby food, so tried them on my older son, and he refused to eat more than a bite or two. There are *lots* of ways to be frugal. <abbr><em>Kathy\\\´s last blog post..<a href="http://katsyfga.wordpress.com/2009/05/20/the-devious-side-of-one-true-love/" rel="nofollow">The Devious Side of “One True Love”</a></abbr></em> All I have to say is “yard sale”!!

Unless your doctor says otherwise, why pay more for the prescription? I've never had kids, so I can't speak to a lot of the "special" items women buy, but I do take prenatal vitamins because they actually have all the vitamins a non-pregnant woman needs anyway. So, it's already a part of my budget. Of course, always seek the advice of a healthcare professional before taking them. A lot of folks around the blogosphere seem to be having babies and talking about the associated costs. What's always struck me when reading the posts is that a lot of them do spend quite a bit. I don't know if it's just that baby costs have seriously escalated over the years or if some of them are choosing not to be as frugal in this area of their finances. Interesting topic, Kelly! I'd very much like to know from the other parents out there, is there such as thing as being too frugal in this area? I'm sure there is, but not being a parent, I don't know. <abbr><em>Kristy @ Master Your Card´s last blog post..<a href="http://masteryourcard.com/blog/2009/05/21/i-want-to-be-a-ceo-when-i-grow-up/" rel="nofollow">I Want To Be A CEO When I Grow Up</a></abbr></em> Over-the-counter prenatals work for a lot of women.
