It's finally the Baby market fair!

I can't believe that Baby market is finally here! Time really flies. I've been looking forward to this fair for some time. 

I hope we'll get all our good buys today! I've been looking at my shopping list, baby market's check list and brand list to plan our purchases. 

Time to go shopping!

Update:

The fair was crazy! So many mummies, daddies, babies and strollers everywhere. It didn't feel like a Friday when I was there -.- I reached earlier than G + mum and dad to check out the booths and get my bearings. Started all the way on the left and began from the A booths. 

There were so many booths that it felt overwhelming! Thank goodness I did research beforehand soI knew what booths I wanted to visit. Whilst alone, I managed to get some baby clothes (carter's), wash cloths from Shears, bath towels, bibs, socks, Aden + Anais swaddles and sleeping bags! 

My gosh, the Aden + Anais items were on such a great sale. But I did work for it cause I had to queue for like 30 mins to pay for them at the cashier. The cashiers were really inefficient and everyone was getting annoyed at waiting for so long. 

Thank goodness I started shopping earlier cause when mum + dad and G arrived, it was getting very packed! I felt like I was in orchard during xmas -.- we immediately went to the Spring Maternity booth to get our Combi stroller, which was on a slight discount. We bought the purple one! 😄 Mum and G had to go queue first cause the line was craaaaazy. In the meantime, I managed to check out the yellow farm bedding set (super cute!) and a baby pillow so we got those too!

We wanted to get the Medela promos but it was insanely crowded and apparently some of the sets went out of stock. After G queued for a while, we decided there was no point waiting since we could just pay slightly more to get it elsewhere. I could tell G was getting upset at the fair. It didn't feel pleasant having to squeeze and queue with so many people. 

We then hunted for Ergobaby's carriers and had so much difficulty finding the booth because it didn't put up its booth number and the products were quite obscurely placed. When we finally reached, we were disappointed that the carriers had run out! It felt so annoying. So we gave up too, which I guess is a blessing in disguise because I found cheaper online deals thereafter.

We didn't get any baby cots either cause the price seemed similar to that at baby's boutique, so very near our place. 

Anyway, after all the walking, squeezif and queuing, we decided that there's no point in coming such fairs. We rather pay slightly more to avoid the experience haha. But I have regrets coming to the fair since I did get some good deals and learnt that there's no need to come to similar ones in the future.

Anyway, here's a picture of our buys! 



Our total investment today was $760!
