Carolinas' Largest Baby Shower -- going on today through Friday!

Radio station WRCM (91.9 FM) is sponsoring the Carolinas' Largest Baby Shower, benefitting crisis pregnancy centers in the greater Charlotte area. For individual dates, locations, and wish lists, visit the event page HERE.

This is a great way to help some mommies in crisis. The wish lists all vary, but I've got deals on several things they have in common. By the way, this comes right as Target is wrapping up their January baby clearance, so you should be able to find tons of great stuff to donate.

Diapers (any size, but several of the groups are asking for sizes 3-6)
Huggies Little Snugglers or Little Movers or Pampers Swaddlers or Cruisers, jumbo packs, $8.99 each
Get a $5 Target gift card wyb 3 jumbo packs
- $2 off Little Snugglers or Little Movers, Smart Source 1/23 insert
- $1.50 off any Huggies, Smart Source 1/23 insert
= $15.97 for 3 packs of Little Snugglers/Movers after Target GC and (3) $2 coupons

Sleepers
Gerber 2-pack blanket sleepers are on clearance at Target for 50-75% off right now, should be $3-5 a package.

Clothing (some groups are asking for up to 12 months, others are asking for up to toddler sizes)
Clean out your kids' closets for the cheapest way to donate baby clothes. You can also find quite a bit of winter clearance at Target. I found a Carter's Just One You 2 piece fleece set, size 24 months, for $2.74 last week.

Shoes, toddler/preschool sizes 
Target is marking down most of their fall/winter shoe styles to 75% off. The pickings might be getting a bit slim, but you can find kids' shoes for as low as $2.50 a pair right now.

Baby toiletries (lotion, baby wash, shampoo, diaper cream, etc.)
Dollar Tree is always a great source for this stuff. You can get bottles of all these baby care items, as well as safety swabs and wipes for $1 each.
Target has Johnson & Johnson baby wash, baby lotion and baby powder for $1.97 each. If you have the $1 Johnson & Johnson baby product coupon from the 1/9 Smart Source insert, you can get these products for .97 each.

You may also find strollers, car seats, cribs & crib mattresses, along with all kinds of other baby stuff on markdown right now. If you have new or gently used baby gear at home just taking up space, bring it over to one of these Walmarts this week and give it to someone who needs it now.
