Spend vs Save: Baby Edition

CORRECTION 01/27/2010: Baby Salve sells for Php 200 only! I must've included what I paid for shipping...sorry!

Even though I may be an OC mom, I don't just go around looking for stuff for my daughter and buy them whether they're affordable or not. I always look for alternatives and most of the time, I find the local products cheaper than their stateside counterparts. So here's my finds and hopefully, you can take your shot on them too!


1. LEG WARMERS

Spend: Baby Legs Leg Warmers

...can be bought from Indigo Manila for P600 a pair or P1650 for any 3 pairs + shipping.

vs Save: Osh Kosh B'Gosh Arm/Leg Warmers


...can be bought at any SM Department Store's Children's Section (where the socks are) for P199.
