Double Down

Wholesale stores have some great prices on household items but do you really need 6 pounds of peanut butter or a pallet of ketchup? Maybe if your stocking up for the zombie apocalypse that might be reassuring but in our small kitchen space is limited. Split items with friends and family with a grocery pool. Let's say you pay $12 for 12 cans of tuna, sell 6 for $6 to your family or friend and share the wholesale savings. You don't have to start a Bodega in your home but on things like bread, beer, water, cereal, snacks, canned food, condiments and other consumables it's very easy to share. Happy shopping!

Pumpin ain't easy

Click to see @Amazon

For many women who choose to breastfeed their children, pumping may be necessary at some point in your baby's life. Whether it's latching problems or you have to go back to work if you want your baby to feed, you pump. You have not failed at motherhood and should rest assured that your nutrients are still being delivered and bottle feeding can be just as bonding as breast feeding if you let it. As long as you feed your baby when they are hungry they don't mind where the milk comes from. After much research we ended up buying this Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump with On the Go Tote at Target for $299 but is cheaper @Amazon.
