Shopping for Baby Stuff!

This weekend, Pirate King and I spent our time shopping for Piglet's stuff. We ended up as poor parents especially Pirate King!

On Sat after sending Mum, HK Aunt and my siblings (going to KL) off at Novena Square. We went to get Pirate King's swimming googles and got my new specs done. After we settled our personal shopping, the quest began for Piglet's stuff!

Pirate King's colleague advised him to get stuff like diaper swipes etc during the Great Singapore Sale as such items can be kept and used like nobody's biz! So, we went to 3 different places to shop for baby stuff.

First stop - OG Orchard, we bought "Monks' robe", mittens and booties. As the hand me downs from my friend don't have those. Plus, the items bought can't be found at the next 2 stops we went and not forgetting a 20% discount on those items! Damage to the pocket at the 1st stop - S$34.40.

Second stop - Robinsons Centrepoint, this shopping mall is just besides OG Orchard. We bought Aprica milk bottles and teats. Initially, i have no intention to get them but Pirate King insisted on getting them. As the milk bottle has this special feature to reduce the amount of air sucked in by the baby. Plus, it is highly recommended by my friend! Thank god, they have this promotion whereby 2 milk bottles/teats are bundled for the price of one! So, we bought 4 milk bottles and 4 teats! Damage done to the pocket at this stop - S$69.80. After payment for the bottles, i rubbed my tummy and told Piglet to be filial to the parents, Pirate King emphasized that Piglet must be more filial to him coz he spent the $$ buying the stuff for it!

Third stop - Takashimaya Dept store, we went after having a quick dinner at MacDonalds. They will having this promotion, 20% discount for all Pigeon products except special buys. We checked with the sales assistant on the discount and we realised that those Pigeon products found in the first 2 stops are eligible for discount here! So, we bought cloth diapers, baby bath, baby bathing sponge etc etc etc.... Damage done at the last stop - S$153.3o! Thank god with the shopping vouchers we got, we paid S$3.30 only!

Today, we went to Furniture Mall to get the furniture for the baby's room and a latex mattress for Piglet! Colonial Antique (the store that we got most of our furniture from) has a new outlet at Furniture Mall, we dun have to go to their warehouse in Balestier!

Furniture we got from them today, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe and a bench. It costs us S$2,250 and we paid them via a 12 months instalment plan. This helps to lighten our cash outflow burden.

It was really difficult to find a 2" single size latex mattress for Piglet. In the end, we settle for this super single latex mattress for Piglet. It costs us S$350 and will be delivered to us by end of June!

Pirate King just rubbed my tummy and told Piglet that its a fortunate pig! :)
