I was having a conversation with my beautiful sister in law a week or so ago about finding great maternity clothes. We are both very similar in our love of fashion and our "habit" for regularly buying clothes but as mums (or mums to be) know, that babies and children are expensive little things so finding the best deals around becomes a mothers quest!

If you have a conversation with my gorgeous other half, he would tell you that I have an incessant need to buy clothes for myself and the children, whether we need them or not. My wardrobe is bulging with "essential" clothing and shoe purchases (and there are some other cupboards that "may" also hold a secret stash of necessary handbag purchases). Obviously the children need new clothes as they are growing little girls but I think my feet stopped growing quite a few years back so I need a good deal to justify yet another pair of shoes.

When I was pregnant, finding stylish, affordable maternity clothes was not only another excuse to buy clothes but a mission in itself and don't get me started on maternity swimwear (thank goodness for New Look online is all I can say). I am not particularly a fan of high street changing rooms, especially when you are trying to negotiate your way in to them with a pushchair, so shopping online suits me on lots of levels. Whether it is for designer shoes or school pumps you can get anything online but do you get the best deals too? (apparently someone once bought a bucket of fresh air on a well known auction site but I digress).

As mums, we are usually have to find a way to juggle the family budget whilst having to put clothes on our children's back, shoes on their feet .... when maintaining a perfectly immaculate yummy mummy look ourselves. So what do we do? Mums do what they do best, they get savvy! You can shop online to get the very best deal and you can use voucher sites such as NetVoucherCodes for high street stores such as New Look to get the best promotions. I have used lots of different discount sites to get the best products at the best deals and it is definately the way forward, I don't buy anything without searching for a discount code for it first.

As for being savvy, the money you save using the discount codes on your children's clothes ..... can always go towards buying more shoes for you!
