YOUNG KIDS DON’T come cheap.

In fact, in your baby’s first year alone, you’ll apparently spend an average of €4000 on food, nappies and everything in between.

We’re here to help make the first few years a bit easier (and more budget-friendly). Each week, we round up the best deals, offers and sales from around the country, both online and offline.
