Oakhurst Resident Has Written 'The Baby Cheapskate Guide to Bargains'

If you're trying to raise a baby in an economical fashion, Angie Wynne has advice for you.

Wynne, a blogger who lives in Oakhurst, has written a book called "The Baby Cheapskate Guide to Bargains -- How to Save on Blankets, Bottles and Everything Baby"  that's goes on sale Tuesday, May 1.

The 336-page paperback is published by NAL and will be sold at bookstores and on Amazon. It covers subjects such as:

• What baby items you do—and don’t—need.

• The principles of shopping smart.

• Where to find great deals on baby products both online and off.

• How to use social media to find bargains and get advice.

• How to start couponing and other “insider” savings tips.

Wynne knows a lot about the subject -- she writes the Baby Cheapskate blog. It covers subjects such as Baby Cheapskate 101, Deals & sales, Shopping Secrets and Toys That Get Played With.

She explains how she came to write the blog:

I started this blog back in 2005 when my son was just a few months old. My husband and I were self-employed and had zero money to spare – and babies are expensive! Every week I’d spend time sitting on my couch searching through circulars for the best deals on diapers, formula, and everything baby. Then I decided it would be pretty nice of me to pass these bargains on to other parents so they wouldn’t have to do all the work to find them.

Wynne is an Atlanta native who attended UGA and Georgia State. She has an M.A. in literature from Georgia State.

She and her husband have been living in the Decatur area for a decade and moved to Oakhurst in 2010. Her son is finishing first grade at Winnona Park elementary.
