Where do I start???

I have so many favorites after many sleepless nights on the internet and a hungry baby. Here's a quick beginning list to starting your wild web wars:

www.babysteals.com : Check every day! This is an online "deal of the day" website that lists fun things for sale at a very discounted price. Their company has 3 different sites: babysteals, kidsteals, and scrapbooksteals...they are all fun to look at. Just make sure you look early or everything will be sold out! (updated 9AM MST everyday)

www.diapers.com : LOVE them! What a helpful website when I'm cooped up in the house and need a stash of diapers pronto! They will deliver in 1-2 days free if you order $49 or more. They have a sister website, soap.com, that has a bunch of bath and home products for stocking up on things like dish soap and bandaids. They're customer service rocks, too!

www.amazon.com : Do research on the products you think you want...There have been so many times where I thought I found the product of the century, only to read reviews or real customers who say otherwise...If you take the time to read what others have experience with that "must have" item, you can save a lot of money...and sanity. Many times, people will suggest any even better product than the one you are actually looking up. Amazon tends to have the most reviews and a plethora of products to read about. 

www.ebates.com : Sign up for this now. It's free and gives you a percentage of what you order online just for going through their website. Pretty much, they're paying you to shop through them. All you do is go to the ebates, look for a participating store (i.e. diapers.com), click "shop now", and it takes you to the website you want to buy something from. Then, it tracks your purchase and gives you a percentage back by check. No stupid ads or gimmicks involved. Just cash.

There are sooo many things on the internet for parents like us. But this is a good start for the beginner...and maybe a suggestion to some of us who have too big of a list. Time to simplify?
