Well, depends.. not when you're not really loaded and also recovering from wedding and new house preparation expenses...
But... a bargain is still a bargain! I've started my baby stuff shopping during the last 2 warehouse sales and Mothercare's recent sale plus a little online shopping.
I guess ignorance is bliss. Since, I started joining this mummy group in Facebook, I get poisoned with their purchases and HAD to go to warehouse sales to take a look too. Don't believe - ask my hubby who gets nagged if he doesn't bring me to it.
This was the first sale that got me salivating but couldn't go! Thankfully, I tried my luck and asked a mummy online who was offering someone else to buy something from there. She helped me buy the Graco playpen Camo Joe I wanted at RM250 (original price was RM399) and recommended I buy the Lamaze gift set for my baby too. Thanks Ester! My hubby couldn't believe there was a stranger who was willing to help me buy stuff without any extra charge! The power of mummies!!
I was surprised to see her with a full car; boot full of baby stuff and half of back seat too with one toddler daughter and a 6 months son at the front seat. Thank you so much.
1. Portability - It's requested by my parents as we are staying in a double-storey house. They want to bring up and down the playpen so it was convenient.
2. Portability again - I can bring it over to my place or parents or in-laws.
3. 2 in one feature - It can be used as a bassinet for a newborn or a playpen for a toddler.
Then, the recommended Lamaze Value Gift Pack at RM180 (original price at RM299).

Oh yeah, I did nag my hubby on Sunday to finally let me take a look at the warehouse sales itself. It was supposed to end at 6pm on Sunday. We were there about 5pm and as I walked around; I wouldn't have known what to buy. There were less Lamaze toys around but more Thomas the engine and Chuggington die-cast trains with some baby/children clothing. There were still some Graco strollers and display unit playpens.
In the end, because of the "bargain", buying one Chuggington train at 50% and buying 3 units with a free unit, I bought 4 Chuggington trains. Thought of giving it to my friend but it's only suitable for kids 3 years above! Oh well..
Grabbed 2 pairs of baby mittens for my baby too. That's all I got. So thank you hubby for at least letting me see the highly-raved warehouse sale.
