11 Free Things that New Moms Need Today

Babies are super cute… But they can be super expensive too!

I was already a freebie junkie before I got pregnant, but I really jumped into it more when I knew I had a baby on the way. There are SO many great free samples and coupons to be found for things like diapers, formula, wipes, food, toys… Really, everything you need to get ready for a little one. This is one of the best ways to try things out before investing in full-size products, so you learn what you and your baby like best. And you can rack up some major savings by stocking up on this stuff while you’re expecting – and it’s also an awesome way to build a frugal baby shower gift too, by filling a diaper bag with great samples, coupons, and trial sizes of baby stuff for the new mom to try out. Love it.

Samples, Coupons, Giveaways:

These are all resources that I have used myself to get great coupons, freebies, samples, and savings. The more mailing lists you get on – the more free stuff you’ll start to see show up in your mail too – Love it!

Formula: Free sample of Simply Right baby formula- Sample Here. And then sign up to have a free sample of Members Mark baby formula shipped to you too. If you plan to use formula, trying a few samples first is a great way to figure out how your baby will tolerate them. They’re all very similar, but there were a couple that Abby just couldn’t handle well at all. They’re so expensive, you definitely don’t want to purchase a brand that you’ll end up throwing away!
Baby Magazines: These are SO awesome – they have fun articles and helpful tips, but they also have loads of high-value coupons! Some of my favorites are KIWI, Parents, & Family Fun – but here are two totally free options – American Baby Magazine and Baby Talk. Or, get one for you – Free subscription to Ladies Home Journal.
Walmart: Find new updated samples a couple of times a week, with lots of great baby options like diapers or lotions.
Travel Mug with Photo: Ok, this one is almost free. Get a super cute travel mug customized with a picture of your new baby. Perfect when you’re away from them during the day, or as an awesome gift for grandparents.
Free Baby Book: Create a free online baby book to privately share photos, movies, and more with friends and family.
Free Photo Canvas: I’m sure you’ve seen this Canvas People free offer before… But if you haven’t used it yet, check it out today. I promise you, you will LOVE the print when you get it. The quality is amazing, and it is such a beautiful way to remember your favorite baby moment…
New Printable Diaper Coupons: Check out Planning Family for tons of fun freebies, advice, and a great community to chat with other new moms. But my favorite part is the printable diaper coupons section!
Amazon Mom: Sign up for Amazon Mom to get FREE 2 day shipping on almost everything, plus big discounts on diapers and wipes! And, to earn FREE Amazon gift cards get a FREE account at Swagbucks!
MySurvey: I’ve had really good luck with product tests from MySurvey, and have gotten diapers to try out two times now. They seem to have a lot of great opportunities for moms to sample new products for name brands.
Free baby tshirt: There are so many great baby tees with funny sayings on them – think up one of your own, and put it on a tshirt you customize yourself, for only $2 bucks. Or make a super cute big brother or sister tshirt, to wear when you bring baby home for the first time. Love it.
Zulily: Sign up for a FREE account at Zulily to get access to deals of up to 80% off designer baby, kids, and mom items.

If you have a little one on the way, already have a kiddo or two, or are an auntie or grandma, then these goodies will help you a ton. If you know other momma’s looking to save some money, feel free to use the social buttons to share this to your Facebook or Twitter – everyone loves a freebie.

How I shop on Amazon.com for FREE!

Are you getting Swagbucks freebies yet?

Sign up for a free Swagbucks account, and start using the cool toolbar to search the web, instead of Google or Yahoo. You randomly win points just for using it. It’s the EASIEST reward program that you can use!

Stack up some bonus points:

If you want to earn points faster, you can do the quick polls, or fill out surveys, and on a good day you can earn a $5 Amazon gift card in one survey sitting!

You can also watch video’s, do small “tasks” which are kind of interesting, and more.

I Love Amazon.com!

There are hundreds of rewards to choose from, but I use all of my points for Amazon gift cards, which is what I use to buy diapers and other essentials we use a lot of. I also save up credits to use for Holiday shopping – which will be here before you know it!

There is NO reason NOT to use Swagbucks – It’s easy to set up, easy to use, and the rewards are awesome. Check it out :)

New Product Tests: Diapers and Detergent!

MySurvey

The longer I use MySurvey, the more I’m a fan! I used to only check in with their surveys once in awhile, because they were a newer company for me, and I guess I just wasn’t used to using them much. But oh boy, lately they’ve been rockin’ my socks!

Make-up and diapers and detergent, Oh My!

In the past couple of months, I’ve gotten to test a full size Cover Girl mascara, and a set of three really great plug-in fragrance units.

Then, last week or so, I took a survey that ended with a message stating that I would get to test out a FREE package of 24 diapers in my little girls size, and give feedback. Diapers are pricey, so you KNOW I loved that! They should arrive any day.

Then tonight, I took a survey that ended with a message that I’ll get a FREE 3 week supply of detergent AND a fabric softner, to test and give opinions on! Love it, right?

Join me at MySurvey!

MySurvey – Take Surveys, Earn Rewards, It’s Easy & Free! Click Here to join me.

You get points for every survey you complete. And I love that you get points EVERY time you attempt a survey… If you don’t qualify, you still get a few points for trying. And they screen you really quick, so you don’t waste your time!

Then, you sometimes get the FREE product to test out and keep. AND you get rewarded with more points for sharing your thoughts on what you try out.

Those points can be redeemed for cool merchandise like tshirts or DVD’s, or even cool kitchen goodies. Or just swap ’em for gift cards like I do… It only takes a few surveys to have enough for a $10 Amazon card!

Love it… What are YOUR favorite survey sites?? Any more good ones I should know about…??

How I Shop on Amazon for FREE!

I love Amazon.com. I mean, like really love it. A lot.

How can you not love a site where you find deals like this:

This Ready, Set, Go Trike is the coolest thing, and I’ve been stalking it online for awhile now, waiting for a deal. Today on Amazon, I found it on sale for $120 off!! Whaaaat? Crazy good deal, right? It’s normally $199.00 and right now it’s only $79.99… AND it qualifies for FREE 2 Day Shipping with Amazon Mom!! Rockin.

I love the deals, the selection, the easy navigation, and the amazing service. But a BIG reason I love shopping on Amazon is because I can do some of it for FREE.

How, you ask?

Swag Bucks, that’s how!! I looove Swag Bucks, and have been using it for about three years now!

How does Swag Bucks help me shop for FREE at Amazon?

Well, with Swag Bucks you earn “bucks” for your activity. You have a ton of different ways to earn, but here are a few that I use the most:

Install the toolbar, and use it to search instead of Yahoo or Google. I was nervous to install this at the beginning, but I’ve been using Swag Bucks for years now, and it’s totally safe.
Click your tool bar to go to the Swag Bucks site, and fill out surveys you qualify for.
You can also answer the daily poll on the Swag Bucks site too, for more points!
Plus, you can complete offers, play games, watch videos, and more! But I use just those three actions, and earn most of my points just using the tool bar to do my regular searching.

I use all of my Swag Bucks to get Amazon Gift Cards! I always choose the $5 Gift Cards, since that is the better value. Then, I add those cards to my Amazon account, and let them add up until I’m ready to shop! I earn enough “bucks” to get a $5 card about once a week or so.

Be Rewarded at Swagbucks.com, home of the web’s premier digital dollar: The Swag Buck! Start earning bucks today and you’ll soon be cashing out for Free Prizes. No strings. Start today! Click Here.

Check it out, and start using the toolbar today. I guarantee you’ll love it!!

Win a $1,000 Amazon Gift Card!!

Sign up today for a chance to win a $1,000 Amazon.com Gift Card!

Amazon is one of my VERY favorite places to shop. Seriously. And this is the easiest thing to enter:

Win a $1,000 Amazon Gift Card!

Just click the link, hit enter, and say Yes to subscribe to email updates on clothing sales. That’s it. Easy peasy, right?

And, if you are a big fan of Amazon too, let me share a couple of tips to save you some money.

1. Sign up for Amazon Mom. You don’t even have to BE a mom. It’s a pretty easy sign up, and then you’ll get two whole months of FREE 2 DAY shipping on all Amazon Prime purchases (which is most stuff). Also, you get discounts on diapers and wipes too. And every time you make a purchase of baby items over $25, you get an additional month of free shipping added to your account. To sign up, just go into the “Your Account” section and find “Amazon Mom”.
2. Speaking of diapers… I ONLY buy diapers through Amazon. I sign up for the “Subscribe and Save” option, which takes 15% off of the price. Then, if you’re signed up for Amazon Mom, they’ll take an EXTRA 15% off too. Plus, your shipping is free. And each diaper purchase helps you to extend your months of FREE shipping. {Plus, you can change your subscribe and save options ANY time, and not have the shipment sent if you don’t want it}
3. Another great tip is to sign up for Swag Bucks. There are a lot of different rewards you can choose from, but I think the best deal is the Amazon Gift Cards. And ALWAYS get the $5 gift cards. If you do the math, they are a much better deal than any of the higher dollar amounts. I earn enough Swag Bucks to get a $5 Amazon card about once every week or two. Then you add ’em to your Amazon account, and let them add up until you’re ready to use them. This saves me a ton of money. Sign up Click Here.

And, just for fun, here are a couple of great deals on Amazon today:

Love this book, “Peek a Who?”, perhaps partly because I have a current obsession with Owls. But this is a super cute book that our kids think is so much fun.

Another favorite at my house is this adorable giraffe soother. It plays 4 different sound settings, from a white noise to a fun jungle beat. It also has a little velcro strap that you can use to attach it to the stroller or carseat. So cute.

Our current favorite movie. Seriously, so good. The little yellow guys’ laugh is just so contagious. Even I like watching this one :)

So, get on over and enter to win the $1,000 Amazon Gift Card, and sign up for some of these other programs too, to save some extra money! Have a great Sunday… I hope you’re all getting some sunshine today!
