10 ways for new parents to save

23.02.12

There is no experience quite like becoming a parent. The joy of having a new child can make both mothers- and fathers-to-be giddy with excitement, but that happiness shouldn't distract from the impact the baby will have on the family budget .

Without even including the price of a hospital stay and birth, there are plenty of costs associated with parenting -- maternity clothes, prenatal vitamins, birthing classes, furniture, baby clothes, diapers, and others -- that can quickly erode your savings.

Luckily, there are plenty of ways to save on necessities if you think ahead and stick to a plan. Here are 10 tips to get you started:

Buy maternity clothes online. Here's the truth about maternity clothes. You're only going to wear them for six months before you're ready to get rid of them. That means that other mothers are doing the same thing, so search online auction sites or niche resale shops for maternity essentials: jeans, comfortable tops, work clothes and so forth.
