My onesie wonders

When I browse through store racks, nothing pisses me off more than finding a designer onesie for $20. I'll be brutally honest with you: I have NOT had to pay over $1 for onesies — no joke! I went to a Mom-to-Mom Sale before my daughter was born and I purchased these onesies:

• Four plain white Carters' onesies (size 6 months) for $1 (so $0.25 each).
• Two long-sleeved onesies by Gymboree for $2 ($1 each).

But my BEST deal of all is when I received THREE free onesies from Huggies. (I have two right now and one is on its way in the mail.) All I did was plug in points from their jumbo pack of diapers. For my daughter's first birthday, she received an American Express gift certificate, which we used towards a jumbo pack of Huggies diapers at Costco. (P.S. I'm totally against buying diapers at Costco because they're super expensive! However, with the gift certificate, we ended up paying $0.06 per diaper, so it was the only time it was worth it.) At home, I plugged in the points and voila — Huggies said they would send me a free onesie, I just had to pick the size. A few months back, I also bought two jumbo Huggies packs at Walmart and since I put in four codes, they sent me two onesies. Not bad, eh? 

Obviously though, my daughter has used more than nine onesies in her 13 months of existence! So here's why this method is a money-saver:  I've barely spent money on clothes because I borrowed infant and toddler clothes. So the lesson here is, infant and toddler clothes won't last forever — deals with gently-used clothes or taking advantage of brand promotions can go a long way. (Remember, I've only spent a total of $3 on onesies!)
