[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You shouldn't use a debit card for online shopping. If the card number gets stolen it's harder to get the bank to refund the money. Get a credit card. I have a citibank card that links to my Amazon account and I can use the points to make purchases. That way a $50 purchase shows up as a $30 purchase for example. Amex also allows you to link your credit card points to Amazon.
Do you have Amazon Prime? You can get discounts on subscriptions for diapers and wipes.[/quote]

That is not true, you should read the terms and conditions from your bank.  There are more protections now than a few years ago.

OP - I was the one that asked for your reasoning of not going to the store, so thanks for answering.  [b]Can you hire a babysitter for a few hours so you can go cheaper on some things? [/b] [/quote]

That's ridiculous if this is this only reason to hire the babysitter.  Why pay $50 for a sitter to watch junior for 3 hours so you can save $13 on groceries?

If OP wants to get a sitter once every couple of weeks for a sanity check (since she says that having an infant is kicking her butt), then that's a solution for a different problem and she can kill 2 birds with one stone by using some of the time to shop and save money.  But otherwise, that's just nuts.[/quote]
