Nursery Bedding

January 17, 2009

Who knew that bedding so small could be so expensive! Since Nathan was spending the day with friends in Columbus, I decided to tag along and begin looking for nursery bedding. To my surprise I was shocked at how much this stuff costs. It ranges from $100-$650! After going to an upscale store and leaving disappointed I found a Baby's-R-Us and decided what the heck its worth a try. Thankfully they were having a two day sale that took an extra 75% off the already reduced clearance price of any bedding and room decor. I'm not so great at making decisions like these on my own so I bought four different bedding sets and decided we could just take back whatever we didn't want.

So I ended up buying:

Winnie the Pooh 4 piece bedding set (originally $180) for $40 and a mobile to match (was $44) for $7.

Jacks (X's Bedding) 3 piece bedding set (originally around $100) for $16, a mobile for $3 and a rug to match for $4.

Dinosaur 6 piece bedding set (originally $180) for $40, curtain valances $3 and a matching lamp for $7.

Safari 3 piece bedding set (originally around $120) for $22 and a matching baby blanket for $2.

Total: $155

I'll never forget this experience since there was another guy on the phone running around piling bedding in his cart talking to his wife on the phone as I was doing the very same thing. We kept laughing at each other as we had no clue what to buy. The employees just looked at us like we were loonies. I think he bought 6 or 7 sets! After 2.5 hours I finally left and couldn't believe the bargains I had found. Now we just have to decide what were going to keep. I'm leaning towards Winnie the Pooh and Nathan's leaning towards the Dinosaurs. I love all the bedding but am surprised were going with something more traditional since I had my heart set on a more modern type of bedding but for the price I'll definitely settle :)
