Fortunately, Tesco currently has lots of baby essentials that are slashed in price that parents will want to grab.
One mum, Emma Black, took to social media to notify others of the deal.
She wrote: "Some great deals on baby items in Tesco with a Clubcard!"
The first product she found was the Joie bedside crib which usually retails for £160 but is currently just £64 with the loyalty card.
The bedside crib is one of the most highly rated ones for parents.
It allows you to sleep side-by-side with your baby while still giving you both your own space to comfortably move around in.
Suitable for newborns up to 9kg, it features a single-hand glide and sliding side panel so you can soothe your baby without leaving your bed.
The one-touch glide lock lets you secure Roomie Glide in place once your little one is fast asleep and you're done rocking.
It also comes with mesh windows on each side as well as four lockable wheels to move the crib around easily.
Also on offer is the Graco highchair, which is just £60 with a Clubcard instead of £150.
shoppers go wild for Tesco's perfect summer co-ord
The Graco DuoDiner DLX 6 in 1 also converts to a dining booster seat, youth stool, and table.
The high chair will see you through the toddler years for multiple occasions.
"So many other baby items on offer with Clubcard too," Emma alerted parents.
The post was shared on the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, which boasts over 2.6 million members.
Insider tip from a Tesco employee
A Tesco employee has revealed a surprising secret about the self-scan trolleys.
According to the worker, random checks on customers using these trolleys are not entirely random.
The checks are actually triggered by a specific customer habit.
If you frequently pick up and put down items without scanning them, you're more likely to be selected for a check.
This is due to the system detecting suspicious behaviour, which could indicate potential theft.
So, to avoid delays, it's best to scan items immediately after placing them in your trolley.
Parents were quick to thank Emma for sharing the deals.
One person wrote: "Wow. Will see if I can order now. Or go after work."
Another commented: "That's really good!"
"That's cheap with Clubcard," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "We need one of these and they're cheaper now."
Someone else added: "I want one I'll have to have a look for one in Tesco."

Greggs could BRING BACK iconic bake it scrapped six years ago leaving fans gutted
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BAKERY chain Greggs could bring back its fan favourite steak and cheese roll after a dairy firm pulled a cheeky Stilton stunt. Big cheeses from Clawson Farms arrived at the company's HQ in a lorry flanked by motorcycle outriders and security guards to deliver an 8kg wheel of their pongy produce. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Greggs could bring back its fan favourite steak and cheese roll after a dairy firm pulled a cheeky Stilton stunt Credit: Jason Bye It came in response to fan demands for Greggs to reinstate the bake, which it scrapped in 2019. Clawson, owned by 30 farmers near Melton Mowbray, Leics, told Greggs: 'We've got the cheese, are you bringing the roll?' When Greggs dropped its steak and cheese offering, fans went into a full-on pastry panic — with one even writing a song about it. Master cheesemaker Richard Mayfield said: 'Greggs is a big brand, so we needed to make a big statement to get their attention.' Greggs boss Roisin Currie invited the cheeky cheesemakers into the Newcastle offices for a Greggs sausage roll. She did not give anything away about the return of the fan favourite, but her reaction is seen as the first sniff of a possible return. Big cheese Keith said: 'I live near one of the busiest Greggs shops in the country – and I'm in there most mornings. When the Steak & Cheese Roll disappeared, I was gutted. So we thought, why not offer them the best cheese in Britain and help bring it back?' 'Greggs is literally in my blood — three generations of my family have worked there, so campaigning to back the cheese roll, with our stilton in it, was a no-brainer! I spend my days going up and down the country spreading the love of Stilton, but this delivery? Well, it was rolling in style. "Meeting Roisin and the team was fantastic — she welcomed us in with open arms and took the whole thing in great humour. We're just here hoping Greggs might want us back for good!' Greggs was approached to comment on a possible comeback.

I tested the best supermarket low alcohol booze – light & luscious winning wine was like pudding in a glass
Almost 40 per cent of the drinks we consume today are now a low- or no-ABV option THE LOW DOWN I tested the best supermarket low alcohol booze – light & luscious winning wine was like pudding in a glass Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALMOST half of Gen Z never have more than one glass of wine a night, while a further 39 per cent rarely have more than one, new research shows. And three out of four Brits of all ages now say they are more conscious of their tipple levels. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Drinks expert Helena Nicklin gives her verdict on lower ABV drinks Credit: Oliver Dixon 9 Almost half of Gen Z never have more than one glass of wine a night Credit: Getty Almost 40 per cent of the drinks we consume today are now a low- or no-ABV option. Luckily if you fancy a bevvie but want to cut down on your alcohol intake there's loads of non-boozy glugs to try. Many wine, beer and even spirits are now available in 'mid-strength' options for those who wish to cut down the units while still clinking a glass. But which lower ABV drinks deliver and which disappoint? Here, drinks expert Helena Nicklin gives her verdict. 19 Crimes Mid-strength Red 75cl, 7% ABV, £8, Sainsbury's - 2/5 WHERE do I start with this bottle of lower ABV red from the 19 Crimes brand? Well, on the plus side, this is indeed a lower alcohol wine at 7% ABV so it ticks the box for anyone who wants a glass of red, but less boozy. 9 19 Crimes Mid-strength Red 75cl scored 2 out of 5 Credit: Sainsburys However… it is also a great example of why you just can't simply de-alcoholise a normal wine and leave it. Why? Because it will taste unbalanced, acidic and cooked – just like this one. Add to that some fake-tasting vanilla and that's what you get here. Why Guinness tastes better in Ireland It's expensive too, as you are paying for the same name. Not the best! Small Beer: The Original 350ml, 2.1% ABV, £2.20, Majestic - 5/5 THE boys at the Small Beer brewery, located in South London, created this brand years ago with the sole aim of making properly drinkable, lower alcohol 'session' beers – so they had to be good. That's a promising way to start when you want to create something decent for drinkers who want lower booze levels to sip – and the results are super. 9 Small Beer: The Original scored full marks Credit: Majestic This perky Pilsner-style brew is light and hoppy, with lots of flavour. It is seriously refreshing and just right for a light buzz without the bad head. Well worth the few extra pennies, especially when compared to some other low-beer brands. Beavertown Satellite Super Session IPA 330ml, 2.8% ABV, £1.56 (£6.25 x 4), Sainsbury's - 3/5 BEAVERTOWN is a great brand for reliable beers of all shapes and styles. This brewery has a wonderfully creative image and this eye-catching can offers an IPA with a lot of flavour punch – from citrussy bitter hops to fresh florals, which make up for the lower ABV. 9 Beavertown Satellite Super Session IPA scored 3 out of 5 Credit: Sainsburys It might be too soapy and punchy flavour-wise for some drinkers, but traditional IPA drinkers should love it. What's great about this is you can just pick it up and chuck it in your trolley when you are in the supermarket and it won't cost you a fortune. So, it makes drinking 'low' easy and accessible. Summer in a glass! Mid-strength Val De Loire Blanc 75cl, 8.4% ABV, £7.75, Sainsbury's Taste The Difference - 4/5 SAINSBURY'S was the first supermarket to create its own range of mid-strength wines, and this tangy little number is lower on the alcohol – but to drink it's fab. Reduced-alcohol vino doesn't have the best reputation, but this one is made with the prettily perfumed, local grolleau gris grape variety from France's Loire region. 9 Mid-strength Val De Loire Blanc scored 4 out of 5 Credit: Sainsburys The Loire is known for its naturally lighter wines. In the glass, it delivers a tipple that is crisp, clean and fruity. Served well-chilled and you can hardly tell it's a lower ABV. A great bottle if you like the idea of a glass of proper wine in the evening or at a party but don't want a high booze count. McGuigan Mid Rosé 7% ABV, £4.50, Tesco - 5/5 THIS middle-strength rosé from Aussie winemakers McGuigan has been hit and miss in the past, but this year's version is the best so far – so this summer is the time to sip it. Slightly off dry, it comes across as very fruity with notes of summer fruit and strawberry jelly. 9 McGuigan Mid Rosé is perfect for poolside parties in the sun Credit: Tesco Light and luscious, it's perfect for poolside parties in the sun. Serve very cold with a handful of strawberries and it's practically pudding! A great way to enjoy a lovely glass of 'pool plonk' without going overboard on the alcohol. It's a nice daytime option too, if you are having a bottle with lunch. What's not to like? Quarter Proof Vodka Light 70cl, 15% ABV, £22.99 on offer, Amazon - 3/5 LOWER ABV spirits are becoming more common but opting for big brand 'low or no' versions of their bestsellers is not always your only option. The clue is in the name with Quarter Proof, a firm that makes spirits which are exactly that – one fourth of the ABV compared to the original mainstays. 9 Quarter Proof Vodka Light scorred 3 out of 5 Credit: Amazon This lower-proof vodka grain spirit splits the critics – at just 15%, many ask why wouldn't you just pour a smaller measure of the proper stuff into your glass – but this has a tad more flavour than most vodkas. This means you don't feel too short changed. There's something luxurious about pouring from a proper bottle too. Worth a go if this is your tipple. Hayman's London Light Gin 70cl, 12.5% ABV, £18.99, Tesco - 5/5 IF G&T is your favourite tipple but you want to trim the ABV level of what you measure over ice then this is the spirit I would recommend. The gin masters at Hayman's came up with this light gin concept way before it was trendy and, honestly, it works brilliantly – and it's cheaper than regular gin, too. 9 Hayman's London Light Gin scored full marks Credit: Tesco The key here is doubling down on the juniper and botanicals so that when you mix it with tonic, you really have no idea that the ABV is lighter. You get all that gorgeous gin taste, it pairs perfectly and it's very pretty too. Pour this into your balloon glass and it'll hit the spot even for hardened gin connoisseurs. The pretty packaging also means it makes a great gift.
