Saving $$$ on baby and kids stuff

In the morning I tend to crawl over to my computer still half asleep wishing I could go back to bed and sit at my computer for a few minutes. I check my emails and then check out my favorite baby sites. I absolutely love a deal and most of the sites I visit are about getting deals on baby/kid stuff like Baby Cheap Skate. This site was launched shortly after the owners son's birth in 2005. Baby Cheapskate helps you save big bucks on baby stuff. This site is updated several times a day, seven days a week with the best baby, kid and maternity bargains she can find as well as shopping tips and frugal parenting strategies. Parents magazine sums up the Baby Cheapskate mission: "One minute on [Baby Cheapskate] can save you hours of shopping around-- and lots of cash!" It's really great b/c lots of moms post great deals they find on anything baby related( formula,diapers,food, gear, toys etc). I've come across some really good deals on things. I just bought Nainoa for x-mas from Amazon the Scholastic Treasury of 100 Storybook Classics (Scholastic Video Collection well it's really a dvd collection)for $44.99 with a 4 pc dved gift set.Oh yeah I forgot to mention it also ships out to me for free!Sweet! It's normally about $100 and I've been eyeing it at Costco, but the cost has kept me from buying it.

The collection includes:
The Treasury Includes 16 Favorites from the #1 Award-Winning Children s DVD Series:
Where the Wild Things Are... and other Maurice Sendak Stories
Harry the Dirty Dog... and more terrific tails
Curious George Rides a Bike... and more tales of mischief
Good Night, Gorilla... and more bedtime stories
Chrysanthemum... and more Kevin Henkes stories
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom... and lots more learning fun!
Harold and the Purple Crayon... and more Harold Stories
Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type... and more fun on the farm
There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly... and more stories that sing
Make Way for Ducklings... and more Robert McCloskey Stories
Corduroy... and more stories about friendship
Strega Nona... and more Caldecott Award-winning folk tales
The Snowy Day... and more Ezra Jack Keats stories
Is Your Mama a Llama?... and more stories about growing up
The Teacher from the Black Lagoon... and more slightly scary stories
Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People s Ears... and more stories from Africa

I had amazon gift certs so it was free! It can't get any better than this! I know reading a book is better, but sometimes he just doesn't sit still long enough. SO I'm hoping that having some interesting voices narrate the stories will keep his attention longer than I can lol! Anyway some of my other favorites sites to visit are:
