Get Hooked on MamaBargains.com ($50 Giveaway)

In the current world of online bargain hunting for kids’ gear, it seems like there are new discount sites popping up almost daily. I’m certainly not complaining, but there is something to be said for a site doing it right. And MamaBargains.com has been doing right by moms for two and a half years one hot deal at a time.

By Mama, For Mamas

MamaBargains.com was founded in May 2008 by Jessica Singer who, at the time had two children under two. She literally dreamed about the concept and then put it into action. I loved reading she purchased the products for the first ever sale on the site – 500 Timi & Leslie diaper bags – using her own funds. Talk about starting with a bang – those bag are awesome. Jessica is committed to customer service and is it shows by her active participation on the www.MamaBargains.com Facebook community (over 62,000 Likes strong!).

How MamaBargains.com Works

The first and only one deal at a time website featuring premium products at premium discounts {always 50-80 percent} MamaBargains.com offers two to 10 coveted products daily for chic children and their parents. The random, mysterious first quality bargain experience creates buzz and enhances the excitement in the “deal of the moment” buying process – creating a “get it before it’s gone” frenzy. With thousands of “hooked” customers, MamaBargains provides unparalleled, personalized service.

At any given time throughout the day, you’ll find a deal live on MamaBargains.com – just one deal and you don’t know how long it’s going to last. My favorite part of the website is the hilarious graphic of the pregnant mama that provides a status update on the sale from “Lots Left” to “Almost Gone”.

Here she is showing you the status on the Cariboo Bassinet (::swoon::) deal. All deals offer a product discounted between 40 and 80 percent. The Caribbo Bassinet is normally $475 and was on MamaBargains.com for $179.50 – that’s 62% off!

While you can certainly find high ticket items like the Bassinet and strollers on the site, you can also find goodies for as little as $5. It’s fun to browse the recent sales on MamaBargains to get a sense of what’s offered and for how much. I think you’ll find there’s quite a variety in price tag as well as cool products aimed at kids from birth to 10 years old. While there were a number of sales that caught my eye, I’m bummed I missed out on this HaPE Dollhouse that was on sale for only $49.

Some of the other brands that have partnered with MamaBargains include Fleurville, Lexie Barnes, Uppababy, Baby Star, Easy Walker, Kate Quinn Organics, Beco Baby Carriers, Rileyroos, Kidorable and Svan.

Shop! Part of the fun of MamaBargains.com is that you never know when a new deal is going to appear. You have to check back throughout the day and jump on a hot one when you see it. The best way to learn of new deals is to follow MamaBargains on Twitter and Facebook.
