Sara Noel: 8 things your baby doesn’t need
Sara Noel from Frugal Village, took on this topic for her newspaper column Sunday: 8 things your baby doesn’t need.
A snippet:
One reader, Karen in Kansas, shares: “I recently went shopping for a baby gift, and I couldn’t believe all the stuff we did without. Mostly because it wasn’t available. Here are some words of wisdom from the ‘Household Searchlight Homemaking Guide’ from 1937. It was good then, and even better advice now. ‘Supplies for the baby: Do not permit good judgment to be influenced by the sentiment of having a baby. There are so many cute things to buy that it is a temptation to fill the baby’s wardrobe with nonessentials. Dozens of the cute things are 100 percent impractical. Do not forget that babies grow rapidly.’”
By the way, Sara is one of several nationally known frugal living and personal finance writers who just happen to be from Michigan.
