Babies R Us Shopping, $4.82

A couple great deals to watch out for at Babies R Us!

1. Right now there is a promo on select BabyGantics items.  Save $3 when you buy 2.  Some stores have some trial sizes marked under a $1, so FREE when you buy 2.  (No overage, but no tax either!)  You can check the prices and make sure they're included in the promo by scanning them at a price scanner in the store.  I had to go to 3 stores to find them this cheap.  At some stores, they are more expensive.  Good luck!

2. My Babies R Us also had Halloween clothes, accessories, and costumes for 75% off.

Here's what I bought?

"My First Boo!" Onesie, Regular $12.99, 75% off clearance, $3.25
Halloween Bib, Regular Price $4.99, 75% off clearance, $1.25

Even better, I paid using part of a $10 gift card I got for free when I created a baby registry at Babies R Us...so really I got everything for FREE!
