Hello, in October I will be the proud(est!) granny of twin girls!
I am a keen MSE user and will be keeping an eye on this forum for mums.
I have provided a fairly random list of baby clubs/baby sites for my daughter where she can get newsletters, coupons and freebies. There seems to be plenty, doing just a Google search, eg Boots etc on the retail side and blogs/diarys such as Emma's
Doubt I am missing much but would like to know which sites mums find most useful in terms of money saving and whether there are any other forums on MSE worth keeping an eye on plus what about Mumsnet - I haven't explored that, does it have a 'moneysaving' section at all?
Many thanks - am so excited! My daughter is a good moneysaver anyway but is going to have to be even more vigilant with twins!
Also wondering what sites people like best for buying second hand and what should be avoided second hand - eg you have to be sure a car seat has not been in an accident
Many thanks

Sign up. When you get bored of the emails, you can always redirect them to your spam/junk folder. You get notified when the supermarkets have their 'baby weeks' which can be useful to know of offers in advance; and you might get some useful vouchers.
Personally I prefer NetMums to MumsNet (but that's because David Cameron is pals with the latter).
Our son had many things secondhand as we didn't have a stable income at the time - moses basket, cot, bumbo seat, high chair, bath, even clothes like sleepsuits and snowsuits. We did buy a new car seat (for obvious reasons) and his first buggy/pram was new, but the next one (bought because it folded smaller) came from a charity shop.

Dom, I had already done a google search as I made clear. But Google a blunt tool, why would we need MSE otherwise!!
Thank you to those that have made useful comments
Congrats on the twins!!
ebay is fab for second hand Im obsessed.
preloved
Baby Swap Or Shop (I dont use it but know they sell second hand)
and keep an eye out for NCT baby sales near you, we have quite regular ones every few weeks (well it maybe every few months but they seem to always be sign posted!)
