North-baby practicals??Where's best?

Heya Just wondering where people would recommend for buying baby practicals in the North like nappies etc After the budget yesterday have to save money where I can Thanks in advance

Well my friend (who will only buy the best of things) is using sainsburys own brand nappies for her new born and swears by them. If i remember correct, she said there €4 a pack!!

Oohh thanks!!! Excuse my ignorance but where would be the best place so to hit sainsburys and other baby places -Im such a southern girl I havent a clue

I'm heading up there Tuesday, would love to know too - not that I've any money to spend up there!

Hi there, if you're heading up North before christmas keep clear of Newry. Its like a cattle mart up there at the mo. If you can, head up to Lisburn, the Sprucefield Shopping Centre. Its a much bigger Sainsburys, they have baby clothes, vests and bits and pieces. Theres a Toys r Us with a Babies r Us section in the same shopping centre. The Angelcare Monitor was €110 down south last I looked, I was up in lisburn babies r us there recently and the same monitor is £69stg. There's a big Marks and Spencers across the way that has a maternity section for clothes!! Much better selection for the extra drive. Oh and its definitely a lot more civilised!!

We've taken Tuesday off work to go as I need to loo so often couldn't risk traffic jams!

hoping to head up next week too, just wondering where you turn off for lisburn coming from Dublin?

I'm planning a trip up after christmas for all the bare essentials, nappies, maternity pads, sudocreme etc. plan to buy in bulk - its such a pity things are so expensive in the south that we have to make such a journey.

yeah as far as i know its January, but will check anyways thanks
