Congrats on your soon to arrive new family member! What an exciting time! Whether this is your first, second, last…every kiddo is an amazing new experience.

Did you know there are perks that can save you money when setting up a baby registry?

Besides your loving family and friends getting you baby items you need. You can potentially save money on things you need to buy for baby. Because whether its gifted to you or not, baby will still need a “new pair of shoes.” 😉

For example, Target sends you 15% coupons to buy whatever is not purchased on your registry. The item type doesn’t matter. If you have a Target RedCard you take an additional 5% off the total purchase.

In this blog post I compare Amazon, Target and BuyBuyBaby’s registry perks. I hope this helps you decide which meets your needs. You are not limited to one, so if it makes sense, create one at each retailer.

My comparison chart below will ensure you maximize your benefits. For help on what to add on your registry, see my blog “Ultimate Registry Checklist.”
