You know if you wait long enough you always can find what you need on CL. I was looking on Babies R Us last week at diaper bags. I need a big enough one for the babies in my childcare and i saw an Eddie Baur one that i really liked.

There was one posted but it was too far away. It was $20. Not bad.

Then I looked late last night on CL and someone had posted one in the next town over for $10!!!!
You better believe i went and got it this morning asap.
I also got a portable crib....not a pack in play but a real crib for $60.

If i ever have another baby it will be a Craigslist baby for sure.

That is cool! My husband LOVES Craig's List. No major buys though we have sold stuff that way.

I got a Medela Pump in Style breast pump with all the goodies and a bunch of extras for get this - $65! She had used it 6 times. Everything was pristine, clean, and packed back in the original packing. It's the one that new costs $200-250! I was renting a pump from teh hospital for $47 a month, and the month payment was due, so I used that toward the new pump, and just returned the hospital one!

I also traded all my formula samples for two grocery bags full of Playtex Ventair bottles because DD does best with them. I got 8 4oz bottles and 10 8 oz bottles! Thats like $60 in bottles, I got for free, and the lady I traded got 3 8oz cans and 1 12.9 oz can of formula for bottles she didn't use anymore because her child didn't like them!

I LOVE CL!

We got a glider chair that was like bran new for $60.00. It is also pretty good for selling stuff. My FIL passed away in another state and we needed to liquidate stuff quick. I sold the car on Craig's list and advertised a garage sale too.

We got a brand new 4-in-one crib (one that I had been waiting for Target to get back in stock but they hadn't) for $100. It was $150 at Target. I was so psyched!

I am still thanking my lucky stars for finding a Wii about a mile from my house for $200 back in the fall.

I love Craigslist, too!
