When your pregnant it is one of the 1st places most women turn to, but how does it hold up for value?

Loyalty Card: Yes, the card entitles you to 5% discount on full price items

Membership Fee: Nope

Birthday deal: Nope

Email sign up bonus: Nope

Free online Delivery: Nope they charge $9.00 but you can click and collect.

Price Match: Yes, but won't beat the competitor's price.

Cashback available

Pricepal: Nope

Flybuys: Nope

Qantas points: Nope

Ebates: Nope

Cashrewards: Nope

Promo Codes/Discounts

Honey: Nope

Retail Me Not: Nope

Instore or Online Verdict 


Instore wins, you can never find an online coupon for a discount, you can't get cashback or your 5% discount online(instore only) and also have to pay for delivery, so loose, loose, loose.

With instore you can see whats on clearance, pricematch and if your buying a lot of things its no harm in asking if they will do you a deal. They also offer great advice and can help you install your car seat for a fee.

They have regular specials, so try to wait for that item to go on sale or try price match.

They also offer layby over a 12 week period. You need to pay 25% upfront then  make fortnightly payments and they charge you a $5.00 admin fee.


Also keep in mind to keep an eye on their Facebook page bacuse they do have some awsome competations, like at the moment you could win a silvercross stroller worth $1,499.

And yes I did enter Henry




To be honest though for being the go to baby chain they could do better and take a leaf out of Babies' r 'us book.


That's all I have for today, please let me know if there any stores that you would like me to feature or if you would like me to record youtube videos if you prefer to listen/watch over breakfast/ coffee for an overview and then just have the blog post to reference back on!

The Low Down On Adairs Linen Lovers

Sorry for not being online in the last month I took some time off to go to Ireland as my Dad is not well and I thought I would find loads of time to write, ya right!!

To keep things separate from saving money on baby, on Monday's I'm going to post about saving money on the A to Z of Australian stores.
Wednesday will focus on baby related stuff, and for now Fridays, I will go through makeup brands A to Z. I will also have some random updates in between as well!

Today we will start with Adairs.

Now I haven't bought anything from them yet but when we buy and get around to renovating you will be sure I will be checking them out for linen as they seem to suit all budgets! 


I have heard crazy things like you can get their sheets on clearance for example from $129.99 down to $19.99 :O

So I just had a quick look at their website, unfortunately, they don't have an online clearance section but they are currently having a couple of sales.

The above and below sets had $200.00 off, plus the extra 5% off for LL members.

This quilt cover had $120 off, plus the extra 5% off for LL members. Making it $89.95 for the cover or $85.45 for LL.

They also had towels at 60% off.

I don't want that to hold back the blog so, I will the clearance section the next time I'm near a store as well as the next time I'm at Watertown/Harbourtown all the deals because as well as saving you the time I'll also know the score when it's my turn to shop!

Ok onto the deals!!

Loyalty Card: Yes  Linen Lovers

Cashback available

Pricepal: Nope

Retail Me Not: Nope!

Promo Codes/Discounts

Outlet Store
Yes, but I haven't checked out yet!

 I will update this blog, the next time I'm in Watertown to check it out!


Instore or Online Verdict 


It's 50/50, by the looks of things!

The free delivery is a tick. My best advice is to go in store pick out what you like and then wait for it to come on special then you can buy it online and get it delivered for free if you are busy, or if your really lucky you might come across something you love on clearance!

It does suck that you can't use any of the cashback sites,  but the extra 5%-10% every purchase makes up for it!

When deals like this you should never pay full price for anything, at least you will get 10% off!
