Baby Shower Gifts on a budget

How does a budget savvy person shop for baby gifts? By shopping even when you don't need a baby gift. Walgreens diapers for $2.99? I'll take 4 packs thank-you-very-much. Onesies for a dollar on the clearance rack at Target and Walmart? I'll take one in every size!

I am all about keeping things on hand for gifts. And baby showers are no exception! A couple cute outfits, some diapers and wipes, or bath stuff make a great gift and there's nothing wrong with getting it at a bargain!

My sis-in-law is having a baby in July and I've been buying like a crazy person since we found out! Even though this is her fifth baby, we are all so stinkin' excited that she's having a BOY this time, that we are throwing a baby shower today! Here's everything I'm taking to the shower and I'm going to tell you how much I paid for it all! (Want to go ahead and take a guess now?)

I'll start at the top of the picture and work down:

Giraffe rattle and burp clothes - FREE (from a review I did for CradleJoy.com)
Baby Wipes - 98c at Walmart
Luvs Diapers - $5.78 at Food Giant after sale and double coupon
Walgreens Diapers - $2.99 past deal - stocked up on several packs and have given at baby showers over the last few months!
Assorted Clothes - $12.00 for 4 onesies, 3 pairs of pants, 1 romper and shoes - all bought on clearance at Walmart and Target
Pack of 7 washclothes - $2.75 clearance at Winn-Dixie
3 Bottles baby bath and lotion - $4.34 for all - clearance at Winn-Dixie
Board Book - 25c at a yard sale - looks like new!
Johnson's Safety Swabs - FREE from Target a long time ago and never used them with Bug

Grand Total: $29.09!!

I filled three bags with 19 baby items for under $30! What was the last thing you purchased for a baby shower and how much did you spend? :)
