While many people view a baby registry as merely a wish list for baby shower gifts, there’s a hidden advantage: you can actually save a significant amount of money! I’m here to share how I saved over $1,100 by using registries from several retailers, and you can too.
Most retailers offer a completion discount, typically ranging from 15% to 20%. This discount kicks in when you decide to purchase items from your registry that friends and family didn’t get for you. It’s a fantastic way to finish up your shopping without overspending. Here are some of the registries where I found success with completion discounts:
- Amazon: 15% discount starting 60 days before your due date.
- Target: 15% discount available eight weeks before your due date.
- Pottery Barn Kids: 15% discount begins 60 days before your shower.
Here’s a pro tip: you can still add items to your registry even after the completion discount is activated. For instance, I added more diapers and wipes to my Target registry right before my due date to take advantage of that extra discount—totally worth it!
You might even consider adding non-baby related items to your registry. I recently moved into a new house and found it handy to include household essentials, which helped me save money on those too.
