In big cities, you can purchase high-quality baby gear without breaking the bank. If you’re crafty, consider sewing or knitting some items yourself. But with careful budgeting, smart shopping, and creativity, you can prepare for your new arrival without breaking the bank. You can also get creative and repurpose items.

Learn to hem and patch and sew on buttons to repair minor issues with clothing. Donate good clothing you really can’t use to a non-profit and bank the tax deduction. Get some shoe polish and shine up those old shoes, take them to a shoe repair shop to have the re-heeled or soled if they are worn down. Buy good clothing, used.

My mom cut coupons and sewed her own clothes and mine, as well. We lived off my salary and banked Alan’s even before we were married so that we could build our own house (literally), paying cash as we went. I grew up in banking and held other finance-related positions during my working years. What’s your best frugal win?
