| Kijiji and Craigs List have already been mentioned, but I recently bought by 2yr olds entire size 3 wardrobe off ebay in two 'case lot' auctions. I don't particularly care if he wears designer clothes, but there were some case lots of those clothes too (but more generally they are auctioned as individual pieces of clothing). I got over 50 pieces of clothing for $140 including shipping. I bought a spring/summer lot and a winter lot, so I even have two swim trunks and lots of shorts and jeans. I don't have the time or patience to look at multiple auctions on single pieces of clothing so this worked great for me. I am a Huggies Mom and subscribe to their newsletters just for the coupons. Pampers also has a magazine with coupons and you can get more at Save.ca

| We have one here in Regina called usedregina.com and its very popular, I post and buy things on there all the time. Im sure there is probably a usedtoronto.com, ect. Its a really cool site. I have it booked marked and check it at least twice a day looking for a good bargain, as I have a 8 month old and they grow so fast i hate to buy brand new.

| I love the Children's Place outlet store in South Edmonton Common. They always have great stuff on sale, you just have to buy it when the seasons change. I got my son two really great sweaters for next fall/winter. They were regular 19.95 each...I paid 2.92 for them! You just have to plan ahead! I also really like Please Mum. I buy clothes the same way, one size bigger when the seasons change. The great thing is that stores change seasons, in the middle of the season! You should be able to get great summer stuff on sale mid July or eary August when they bring out the fall/winter clothes.

Great to see so many of you posting!  I don't think this has been mentioned but Bonnie Togs has AMAZING prices in baby and kids' clothing, accessories, furniture, gifts, etc. I looked on their web site and they have dozens of locations in central and southwestern Ontario. I'll definitely attempt to cover all of Canada for the freebies list and will post here and/or send by PM once it's complete. Keep posting those ideas/coupons/freebies/discounts. Thank you. Lisa p.s. We're working on the funky font changes and formatting issues in the forums. (How's that for alliteration?!)

Hi everyone, speaking of Kijiji.....I was looking for those Baby Einstein DVD's and I typed in Baby Einstein DVD and found this online retailer of a 26 DVD set for only $60.00 ($70.00 in provinces outside of Ontario or Quebec I think)!!!!
What a fantastic price and they are brand new and sealed!!! Even Costco and Future Shop are many times more money after you collect the whole 26 DVD set. I bought one and it is amazing and my youngsters just love them! It was even free shipping to my door!!! The guy posts his contact information so I was not nervous at all with dealing with a stranger. He sells toys and gifts but does the Einstein Sets on the side I believe? His email is thefuture@golden.net .
Can't go wrong with this set. Just want to tell you all that this is a huge money savings for what you would normally spend.
