s/o Free or practically free stuff

[626]

Are there any mailing lists or sites you subscribe to that gives you offers for free baby things?

My friend said when she was pregnant she got codes for free boppy covers, nursing covers, etc.  I haven't received anything.  She doesn't remember how she got on the lists.

I figure if there are places giving stuff for free it might save me from having to buy it or register for it.

Any ones that you'd recommend?

I got some gift cards from Motherhood Maternity when I shopped there and they basically made it free to get a nursing pillow, nursing cover, sling carrier and car seat canopy for free (pay for shipping). I have a link on Pinterest too but I'd have to go find that!

Just a warning about those baby slings - they are SUPER cheap and not great.

I think they also charge you a LOT for shipping for a "free" item.

This is old, but try these:

There's a company who owns the Car seat canopy, breast pads, nursing cover, and a couple other things. You can always find deals for a free item where you just pay shipping. I got 2 canopy's and paid $12.95 each for just shipping (they're usually $40 I think plus shipping). www.carseatcanopy.com/  If you scroll to the bottom you can see it's sister companies. If you google around or ask on MMM you can find a coupon code and once you check out it gives you codes for other items. I haven't bought anything else.

I signed up on all the formula and diaper websites for coupons but haven't received anything yet.

MamaMaui24 good to know about the sling! Maybe I'll pass on that one. And yeah, the shipping is kind of a lot, but I figure it's cheaper than buying a similar item in the store (in some cases, I think the only one I'm really interested in is the pillow).

I get tons of free offers through emails from EverydayFamily.com - I don't really even know how I got signed up...I assume I must have signed up to be on their list really early on, probably when I was searching for something

Nonetheless, I think you can just sign up at their web site. I have gotten offers for carseat canopies, formula, baby products, etc.

Just FYI, I was told the nursing pillow was smaller and much more flimsy than a boppy or other name brand pillow. A lot of the reviews I read described it as junk. I did get a nursing cover and it seems nice.
