2nd Maternity and Children Expo, Midvalley (18 - 20 November 2011)

This is a super busy and exhausting week...

Hubby got to work over the weekend, and I have been working extra hard trying to settle most of my works before coming too near to my due date.

Despite the hectic schedule, we somehow managed to squeeze 1 hour each on 18 Nov (Friday) and 19 Nov (Saturday) to visit the 2nd Maternity and Children Expo, which was held from 18 - 20 Nov 2011, at Midvalley Exhibition Centre. We have been looking forward to the expo for some time, as I was hoping to wrap up our final round of BB products shopping and to complete all items in our shopping list during this expo.

Entrance of the 2nd Maternity & Children Expo, Midvalley

Our Friday visit to the expo was more like a survey trip. We had a quick walk around the exhibition halls, survey the prices of items we were interested in, and filled in some registration forms to redeem the free gifts.

MAM gift voucher for a free soft pacifier, but we were told it was out of stocks on both Fri and Sat despite being there quite early. I wonder whether there is really any free pacifiers given out by MAM or just a marketing trick to attract customer traffic to their booth?

On Saturday morning, after our Teppanyaki brunch, hubby and I again visited the maternity expo, with a good idea in mind of what to buy after the initial price survey.

From Friday's survey, we found that most of the major items that we planned to buy were priced higher than we expected even after the expo discount. For example:-

Brand	Item	Expo Price (RM)	Normal/Internet Price (RM)
Medela	Medela Mini Electric Plus Breast Pump	599.00	520.00	(from Periwinkle)
			599.00	(from Littlewhiz)
Medela	Medela Swing Breast Pump	699.00	679.12	(from Littlewhiz)
Combi	Combi Urban Walker Stroller	>1K	899.00	(from Littlewhiz)

Initially we planned to purchase a car seat from the expo. But there were not many booths selling or displaying car seats, and the choices of brands and modals were limited, so no car seat from the expo this time.

One of the items that I think was selling at very good price was Mammy Poko Diapers. Normal price without discount is RM38.90, Giant's current promotion price is RM36.99, and it's selling at RM25 at the expo (for Size NB and S) with 1 FREE bolster for the purchase of every 2 packs of diapers. To look for the Momy Poko booth, simply scan around the exhibition hall for the longest queue.

About 20 people queuing in front of us at the Momy Poko counter

Some of the Autumnz breastfeeding accessories were also selling at a discounted price:-

Brand	Item	Expo Price (RM)	Normal/Internet Price (RM)
Autumnz	Electric Steam Steriliser	152.00	175.00	(from Littlewhiz)
	+ Home & Car Warmer Combo
Autumnz	Breastmilk Storage Bottles	27.00	38.90	(from Littlewhiz)
	- BPA Free (10 packs)
Autumnz	Zip Lock Breastmilk Storage Bag	~9.00	10.30	(from Littlewhiz)
	(25 bags) *12 oz*

At the end of our 1-hour shopping, despite being a little disappointed with the price and variety of products offered at the expo, we left with a handful of diapers and breastfeeding accessories. But the quest to complete my BB shopping list continues...

Hmmh...maybe tonight I can start surveying for the next breast pump and car seat megasales...

My Dear Baby Products Warehouse Sales (26 Oct - 7 Nov 2011)

11 weeks before the arrival of our BB boy, hubby and I have got our shopping list ready, and are half way through our preparation to welcome the little one. I love to do BB shopping with hubby. It is like treasure hunting, every month we will buy something for BB, and I'll make sure I keep hubby updated of any BB product sales whenever there's one.

This month, one of the bigger sales is the My Dear Baby Products Warehouse Sales at Puchong, from 26 Oct to 7 Nov 2011.

After enjoying our Dim Sum brunch at Taiji Dim Sum, Puchong, hubby and I headed to My Dear Warehouse around noon. I was immediately wowed by the crowd upon arrival! Maybe because it is Deepavali public holidays today, the warehouse was full of people, ie. expecting parents, family with small children running around, workers etc. There was this sourly smell of sweat in the air, but I suppose this is also the smell of parents love to their children. And I too, was determined to join in the crowd and start shopping!

Super crowded!

2-hour queue just to collect our goods

Below is the list of items that we bought by the end of our shopping:-

At home, looking at all my "trophies", I am quite amazed by how determine and patient hubby and I were today! It was raining cats and dogs, we queued for almost 2 hours just to collect our goods, and we got ourselves wet trying to load the goods into the car.

I really appreciate hubby's patience today...and for the delicious dinner that he managed to pull himself to cook for me tonight...I hope our BB boy too, will appreciate our love to him. Really can't wait to meet him in 2 and 1/2 months time!
