Kids Woot has this FABULOUS deal on the Playtex Baby Nurser Starter Kit – This kit includes five bottles (two 4-ounce and three 8-ounce) are all of the disposable-liner type–an open-ended plastic sleeve with ounce markings up the side. But the pack includes both standard plastic-bag style disposable liners (in both sizes) and five each of the Playtex Drops-Ins, which are semirigid and have their own lip at the top for convenience. There are also four different kinds of nipple: infant, round, older baby, and orthodontic. One of the 8-ounce sleeves has an “Eazy-Feed” system–essentially, an inner ring that can be pushed up from the outside with one thumb–that acts as a built-in burper.
I used these bottles with my last kiddo and plan on using these with #3 as well. The greatest thing about these? They use drop in liners so you have to do minimal bottle cleaning! (just make sure you wash out the nipples!) Target sales generic drop-in’s which are just as good as Playtex’s and at a significant savings.
We bought 6 packs of these (3 on my account – 3 on my husbands) – you are limited to 3 per account. For $42 shipped with tax – I’m pretty sure Itty Bitty has enough bottle to last her until she moves to a sippy cup!
Here’s the what Woot has to say:
Your unborn child will soon be entering the world. You want everything to be perfect. That’s why you’ve got to ask yourself: Skinner Box or Wire Mother? Either way, the Playtex Baby Nurser Starter Kit will be ready to help.
Between the two four ounce and two eight ounce Original Nurser holders, you’ve got it all covered, from a light snack to a full feeding. That means you can easily teach your infant with the most basic type of punishment/reward model there is. Before long they’ll be understanding the connection between the green light and the red lever, and you’ll have them doing simple tasks and tricks that can amuse and amaze your party guests, making them want a child of their own! Or, perhaps, a well trained raccoon.
The Playtex Baby Nurser Starter Kit comes with a variety of nipple attachments, allowing the child to decide which texture he or she prefers. You also get ten liners that are certified BPA free. With just a little work, a few screws, and a piece of thick carpet (not included) you could create the perfect babysitter, just like the kind used by zoos around the world. You’ll be saving money and preparing your child for a life of self-reliance, all at the same time!
Much like a pigeon can be trained to steer an atomic bomb, so too can an infant learn to do the dishes, mow the lawn, or even find that missing remote under the couch. Take advantage of scientific breakthroughs, and let the Playtex Baby Nurser Starter Kit help. Won’t you feel proud the first time your child solves the laboratory maze?
Happy bottle feeding – this is a HUGE bargain! Enjoy!

I love LOVE LOVE the flea market. Fortunately, I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, so we have a few options. The one place, I most frequent is the flea market in McKinney -- Third Monday Trade Days.
Third Monday Trade Days is off of 380 in McKinney. It occurs the weekend before the third Monday.
Owned by the folks who own the mega-flea market Canton, this place makes for a fun few hours. I love that not only is it a hop and jump from where we live -- we can get thru the place in a matter of hours (without the kids an hour!). The only cost is $3 to park.
Last weekend, the whole fam headed over. You have your typical unique flea market crowd. You’ll find one of every type. There are all types of things to see and eat. The kids love the animals and the cheap toys. I hate the smelly port-a-potties, but what do you do… you hold it.
My biggest finds were this totally random 70′s mannequin head (her name is Tammi). She maybe weird to some, but to me she was hilarious. For $3 this treasure was mine. Now she freaks me out every morning when I wake up, since she is tenatively living on my dresser.
The other thing I frequent the flea market for is the bargain on jewelry. Let me interject that I love accessories, but I refuse to pay much for them. This last weekend, I found the jewelry lady who had a deal -- choose and 2 items for $5 or 5 items for $10. Check out my stash of bargain jewelery.
This stuff is by no means guaranteed to last -- but for what I would pay for 1 necklace at Target -- I was able to buy 5 pieces.
Here are some great tips to shopping flea markets:

Happy Flea Market Shopping!
P.S. RANDOM!
Why are Flea Markets called Flea Markets?
There are a few theories floating around the internet -- here they are:
The origins of the term are disputed but some have observed that buyers and sellers may be as active as for that the original people and goods were infested. According to Word and Phrase Origins, the term was derived from the “Vallie Market” of Manhattan.
The original flea market may be the Marché aux puces (“market with fleas” in French) of Saint-Ouen, Seine-Saint-Denis, in the northern suburbs of Paris. It is a large, long-established outdoor bazaar, one of four in Paris. From the late 17th century, the makeshift open-air market in the town of Saint-Ouen began as temporary stalls and benches among the fields and market gardens where ragpickers exchanged their findings for a small sum.
