The Sought After Boppy...


Oh the Boppy pillow...one of the most sought after items that should be any pregnant mommie's repertoire (or so I've been reading all over the web). I've been searching the web and my local Walmart/Target trying to find this darn thing at a price I can afford (we're under a strict budget and so I cannot 'splurge' on a $24+ pillow...though I wish I could LOL!). I even searched at a local baby consignment shop to find them at $16+ (still slightly too much, but doable).

So, come Thursday afternoon, I head to one of the nearby thrift stores with my MIL to grab a desk she was eyeing and while waiting to pay for it, I mosey around and what do I see!? One Boppy with it's slipcover in perfect condition...price? $4, yup, $4 out the door! If you've fallen on hard times or come from a low income background you could understand my excitement :) Of course I grabbed it as quickly as I could and headed home with the pillow in tow. I just had to share my wonderful experience, as I love second-hand shops, and this just gave me a reason to love them even more! Not to mention this was one of the last items on my list for my hospital bag and newborn essentials. Score!
