There's no doubt about it: moms are the best when it comes to scoring good deals and buys. So, when we discovered one mom who was able to get a play tent, remote-controlled car, and a kiddie slide in exchange for a stroller, some grocery items, and baby essentials (read her story here!), we just knew there were other wais moms out there with similar experiences.
Best items moms got from bartering
Inspired by Shane Gaza, the mom who first shared her barter story, our Smart Parenting Village members quickly shared their best trades online. And we must say, ang gagaling talaga ng mommies! Here are the best barters they’ve done:
