This week’s baby bargainista is from our newest guest contributor, Tamera Kremer. Tamera became a new mom of twin girls in January. She also blogs Eco City Mama.
As any parent knows, having kids is expensive and they outgrow their gear faster than you’d like. In these tough economic times finding bargains is a must. The up-coming spring/summer sale hosted by the Toronto Parents of Multiple Births Association (TPOMBA), is a great option to stretch your budget and find great deals for your children.The sale is includes gently-used clothing for newborns to size 12, toys, and equipment (such as strollers, high chairs, playpens, swings). All items are carefully screened and come directly from TPOMBA members.
TPOMBA members will shop first, but the sale opens to the public and with each item coming in twos or threes there will still be some terrific bargains left when it opens to the general population.

As a father of triplets I think any time you have an opportunity to swing a few deals for your multiples it's a great thing. Thanks for sharing the event. Cheers,

Thanks Andy - and agree completely!
ReplyDeleteThis is always a great sale!
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know you made my list of Top 10 Canadian Blogs that Help You Save.
Note the TOMBA sale isn't stroller friendly (it's usually really busy).
ReplyDeleteA good idea is to leave the kids @ home and shop by yourself or w. a girlfriend.
In past, you have also had to bring your own bags/boxes.
But - great deals!
@Parent Club - great tips, thanks for them!
