Sweetbottoms Bin Sale!

On Friday morning, Max and I headed down to Cary to shop the bin sale at Sweetbottoms Baby Boutique.

 If you are lucky enough  to live in the triangle area, I highly recommend checking them out.  They have a wide variety of cloth diaper brands and types.  They also carry amber teething necklaces, baby carriers, and a hodge podge of other items.  If I was pregnant, it would be a dangerous place for sure! 

 If you are not able to visit their brick and mortar store, you can still join the fun (not the bin sale fun, unfortunately, but the general fun) by visiting their website..  When I began cloth diapering (a mere 3 months ago!) I price-compared several sites and Sweetbottoms had the best deals—so I ordered my fluff online.  It arrived within a matter of days and they included a personal note and a free sample of  goat’s milk soap.  At the time I didn’t even realize that I lived within driving distance of their actual store—but it doesn’t matter, because they do free shipping on all US orders, so I didn’t end up paying extra!  And Team Frowow loves nothing if not a good deal!  Which is why I had been looking forward to the bin sale for weeks.  I picked up this fluff:

2 kawaii pocket diapers, 1 large Planet Wise wet bag, 1 kissaluvs cover, and 1 Blissful Booty all-in-one

I paid around $30 total, which I think is great.

The bin sale runs through Sunday and you should definitely check it out!  A few notes about the sale:

• ·        All sales are final (duh)
• ·        If you are a GIRL MOM, this is WELL WORTH your time.  As usual, girl-patterned diapers, ribbons, bows, baby legs, the whole happy meal—were plentiful.
• ·        Boy moms can score too—but most boy items were limited to wet bags, Kawaii minky covers, plain white econobum covers, Basix Blueberry all-in-ones, and lots of swim gear.   Worth your time mainly if you have a little guy, under one year

With my gear from this sale, I think we are all set with cloth diapers!  Our collection consists of:

• 12 grovia prefolds
• 1 kissaluvs cover
• 4 grovia snap-in soaker pads
• 5 grovia shells
• 3 flip prefolds
• 4 Kawaii pocket diapers (my FAVORITES)
• 1 bumkins AIO
• 1 Blissful Booty AIO
• 2 thirsties covers

I bought most of these on sale (another local store, Smart Momma, was going out of business) and at Sweetbottoms.  I believe my total cost is around $225.  Even though I didn’t start cloth diapering until Max was 15 months old, that is still saving money!  And, let’s be real, the big appeal of cloth diapering is a cutely padded tush:
