My husband and I did not take lightly the purchase of a car seat for our children.  We carefully scrutinized the reviews from Consumer Reports and we took our list with us to the stores to compare prices and longevity of the car seats.  Finally we decided on the Alpha Omega.  Even at the big price of $150, we knew that we would were getting our money’s worth because the car seat goes up to 80 lbs.

I was quite surprised when I saw the Alpha Omega on sale at Big Lots this week for only $80.  Wow!  That’s a super deal!

The deals don’t stop there.  They have denim shorts, pants, and more for $5.  I also saw sales on mattresses, underwear, food, and furniture.  The Litter Maid one step litter box is $44.  To find more great sales, visit BigLots.com.

It’s time to stock up on undies for your boys.  Right now Big Lots has their liensed underwear briefs and boxers on sale up to 65% off.  Cuddlebug will be potty trained soon, so I’m going by to get a few packs today.  You can’t beat $2 a pack, especially for the printed ones.

Big Lots is also having a January clearance sale.  You may want to stop by and see if you can find some deals.

I began asking around to friends and relatives so see if they had a bed to donate to us.  I was looking for a daybed, bunk bed set, twin bed with trundle, or queen size bed.  I needed something that would sleep more than one person so that Cuddlebug could bunk with Alligator when we have company.

We had no luck getting one from a friend or relative, so I placed an ad on Freecycle.  Still no luck, so my hubby and I went to the furniture stores and about croaked at what we saw.  Beds are expensive!  We looked at bunk beds and children’s furniture.  I just couldn’t see paying that much money. 

We decided to hold off on getting anything just yet.  Then on my way to church one Sunday night, I saw that Big Lots was having 20% off everything in the store.  I told my hubby about the sale because I remember seeing a bunk bed set in there for $200.  It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, but it was solid pine, which is more than I can say for some other stuff we saw in the furniture stores.

I decided to go to Big Lots after church to take a look at the bed again.  The store was getting ready to close, so I decided to go ahead and buy the bed with the 20% discount and pick it up later.  That would give me some time to think over the decision. 

We decided to keep the bed.  Hubby put it together the night of my interview with Cooper Lawrence.  He pulled the bed out of the box to put it together and realized that the bed needed more support.  The bed only came with about 8 wooden slats.  DH decided to put all the slats on the top bunk and to have more made from the bottom bunk with 1×4’s.  I went to Home Depot and the guy was nice enough to help me and cut the boards for me, although I was nervous because I wanted to have plenty of time to think before my interview.

With hubby’s modifications the bed is nice and sturdy.  I will tell you that to save money, you should can have plywood cut instead of buying the bunker boards, which are $40 each. 

We were even able to get the Sealy or Serta? mattresses 20% off at Big Lots.  I got the twin bunk bed set and 2 twin mattresses for about $320 (without tax).  Not bad, I don’t think.  To go along with the beds, I picked up 2 twin bed sets 1/2 price at Linens and Things.  They were only $30 each.  The beds, mattresses, bedding , and wood only cost us about $420.  I’m pleased with our purchase and so is Alligator.
