The brandfreak shopaholic mommas 😨😨😨

I really wanted to share this side of me with you all
I am a shopaholic brandfreak momma 😨
You guys must be thinking so what is the problem????
Momma log it's a big problem..seriously
I have bought so many things without even thinking if it's of any use 😨
There are things I bought of a brand wherein same thing were available for a lower price in some other brand 😑
😨As far as brand loyalty is concerned I will be a good brand ambassador

😨reality check- you end up spending a lot ... a lot means a lot
😨for instance I got a Fisher price rainforest deluxe melody and light playgym of around 8000 rs 😲😲; wherein in the same brand playgyms are available for 3000 rs and the worst case there are playgyms for even 1000 rs 😨😨
Sheer waste of money as the primary purpose is solved with a 3000 rs gym as well
😨I bought a babycrib of juniors with mattress for around 28k .. it's definetly a nice one but then my friend got one from local market for 13000 that's also solving the purpose .. isn't it ?
😨there are numerous instances of such stupidity; of mine
Mannat has crib , play gym, bouncer , ride on, rattles , toys and more toys from Fisher price

Then I went to hamleys;; so now she has 3 big dogs ,4 small ones, one panda, 3 minions ..

Then I went to chicco so she has comb , brush , pacifier, bottles , liquidwash, car seat, babycarrier all from there and the heights I bought a star projector of around 2700 rs 😨😨.. so see sees stars on the wall and she listens to soothing music ( my husband was like radium wale stars chipkati; to bhi wo; itni hi khush hoti 💔)

Then one day I went to Mother care so got multiple dresses , a potty seat ( which she doesn't even need right now ) 😨😨
Then I got sterilizer which I could have opted for cheaper one 😑
Then I got bedding sets;; then sleeping bags , carry cot, 4 cot mobiles ( I hardly know where can I put 4 cot mobiles )

3 baby carriers 😨😨 cloths and more cloths then toys ..

asked my sis to get fancy stuffs from London


Then I went to some other store bought stuff
Then another bought more stuff 😑😑
In short I got overwhelmed 😋😋😶😂😂😂
What does mannat prefers ???

She loves playing with those angry bird wala drum toy; , gift papers , you tumbler blah blah; toys which she got as gift from in her Namkaran 😄🐶😄

The poor momma in me had a major setback ... I couldn't take it for few days that kiwi isn't liking things or toys which I loved
And then I woke up my gyaan ka; third eye opened... I shouldn't force my baby to live as per me; , with my choice of toys , with my choice of clothes
Why am I telling you guys; prices ? Or my shopping story ??
❤message to all new moms or would be moms don't get overwhelmed with these shopping trips
❤invest carefully in the things baby needs
❤Try to compare things of different brands check the prices online before buying anything
❤Buy things which will be needed in a month or two as you never know what will the baby like
❤do not wait for special occasions for baby to wear nice cloths .. trust me there were cloths which my daughter couldn't wear for more then once .. she has outgrown
❤Buy branded stuff..there is no doubt the quality can't be replaced for few things ..but don't become a brandfreak
Bottles , rattles things which the baby puts in the mouth or by any means can cause infection should be of good quality

But you may buy clothes of normal brands ( firstcry has good collection , even hopscotch.. I bought stuffs from Zara, Carter's baby are us foe new Born she couldn't wear it once and it's sheet waste of money )
❤Buy either a carry cot or pram .... both won't be needed anyway .. especially as the baby gets heavier day by day carry cot won't be used for long
❤one thing you should definetly invest is in a good car seat as the baby would need it once they can sit properly but don't but it in advance like until you get a good discount .. afterall it's a matter of safety for a child so car seat is a must
❤ Try one skin product at a time .. don't get into this puzzle of hundreds of skin cream , powder blah blah ..

If one product doesn't suit then switch to another ... don't experiment too much on the baby
❤🤰; the idea to write all of this is we all get carried away with the shopping trivia .. so we need to think and act
Wouldn't it be better if we shop wisely and invest moneuvfor the baby in a good way
❤finally I have take sukanya samridhi , an fd; for her , some gold from the money saved from avoiding reckless shopping

And switched to a smart way of shopping ❤

Happy shopping to all #momathon2

Hehe crazy Shopaholic&#128514;<br> I am a brand freak but if pocket doesn't allow I become true baniya &#128580;&#128521;<br> Better late than never. It's good you realized that baby doesn't go with our mood. They have their own choices. This thing I was told by every one during pregnancy so I was practical enough and didn't wasted money on things that baby won't use. I am happy about it.; Anyways shopping is anytime fun and I love shopping. I have a big online shopping kidda in me. The difference is now I shop mostly for my daughter &#128536;

Omg!! That's way too much. I always spent in limit. We always make a shopping list. No brands important. Only things to go in mouth are washable small utensils or food grade plastic mee mee toys. Feels good to be a sensible spender....a legacy from my ma to me...n now will go from me to my daughter &#128522;

<b><span style="color:#3B5998;"> @6372d9a02338f60015eaf323 </span></b>; recipe is same as normal Pac bhaji .. You just cut the Pav; in 4 part s then from centre put; the bhaji ( if you can bake or get mini pavs that would be awesome ) , chopped onions and bit of cheese ... insert a toothpick .. serves as great started for party nd it's so easy<br> Something like this ...
