Alongside the
joy, laughter, magical moments and love that parenthood brings often
experienced is the costly expense of raising children. From when children are mere tiny bundles of
love as babies then all the way through toddlerhood, childhood and into the
teenage years the cost of raising children is a continuous ever increasing
cost. Even though the hardship of a continuous
costly expense can be difficult for parents to deal with the rewards of being a
parent and seeing your baby grow and go through childhood is priceless.
Even though
the cost of having a child is demanding on our bank balance Bug is worth every
penny. As a mum to try and ease the
financial burden and save money I try and be savvy with our finances; buying
essentials when on offer at a better price than normal, shopping around for the
best price, snapping up toys and clothes when on sale, using money off coupons,
making use of customer advantage schemes just as Tesco Clubcard and Boots
Advantage Card and taking advantage of offers from Parent and Toddler Clubs that
I signed up to. Whilst I do all of the
above I also make sure to only buy what is needed and not buy just because it
is a bargain price…...it is only a bargain and money saving if I need it or
would have bought it anyway.
Even before
Bug was born I found a great way to save money and pick up bargains when
shopping for essential baby products was to make use of promotional Baby and
Toddler Events at stores. Over the years
I have managed to get some major bargains on everyday products that we needed for
Bug when he was a baby and then toddler products for him when he progressed
into toddlerhood, getting things we needed at bargain prices at Baby and
Toddler Events.
With the expensive
aftermath of Christmas and New Year plus perhaps a little too much spending in
the New Year Sales taking a huge chunk out of most people’s bank balances,
leaving the family budget very tight and shopping budgets reigned in saving
money during the first few months of the New Year is extremely helpful.
Thankfully
for parents who have to fork out money on baby basics and toddler essentials
Tesco have been offering brilliant offers and discounts on baby and toddler
products during the first Tesco Baby Event of 2014.
