Pretty good deal for some of these games.
Was thinking of picking up BOTW to replay since it's on sale here for $55, but this is an even better deal.

First, congrats! But be ready... 
Start asking around. F&F might have some stuff leftover that you can use.
We gave away all the stuff we bought new (like car seats, strollers... etc) to close F&F while getting quite a bit from close F&F (clothing and whatnot).
Kids stuff is legal robbery. Thus, the less you buy, the better. Some of the stuff would only be good for a few months if not weeks before you need something else.
Diapers... check between Superstore and Walmart. They usually go on sale every so often... and my recommendation is don't stock NB size (only last a week or 2), any size after, my rule of thumb is to stock a box more than the number (up to 2 for size 1, 3 for size 2, 4 for size 3). But of course it depends on your baby.
Same with formula (if you guys are not breastfeeding). Sign up for coupons for both diapers and formula, they can save quite a bit. And SS posts coupons every so often as well, that's when I stock up.
Things that I recommend buying new if you have to:
1. A good high chair. We have 2 Stokke Tripp Trapp. They are simple, timeless design and very well-built. Good for 6mth or so up and my older son is still using it after 8yrs... so it's definitely worth the money.
2. A good simple stroller. Don't get tricked into buying some fancy-looking stroller like a Stokke. Been there, done that. They look nice because they weight a ton. What's good of a stroller if you are too lazy to even taking it out of your trunk? Just buy a good lightweight one that you can really carry and use it everywhere. Many of the bigger names are safe and comfortable for the baby once they are 6mth+.
A tip is that most baby specific shops would likely have their BF sale or whatever. But find a good one out of province for further tax savings.
Things I definitely think it's a waste of money:
Diaper genie - baby shits... and I mean they shit like crazy. There is no way to keep your home absolutely odor-free. And after a while, you can rarely distinguish the difference between the smell of poop and curry. So, don't waste the money. If you absolutely have to, there's always Costco.
Baby bath tub thingy - just use your freaking washroom sink. If really needed, make one that's specific to give baby bath and put whatever needed to make baby safe/comffy.

Home security systems? I see Ring has alarm systems on sale, but how might it compare to Telus, or Nest?

I honestly don't know if that's actually a sale or if its the regular price, but they're like the same price as the inear ones so that seems like a deal to me

Monitored systems are basically BS.. now even with Telus alarm they won't dispatch a guard unless they confirm no one is home, where as before they were dispatched if an alarm was not disarmed etc.
If Ring or Nest has a system that isn't monitored/subscription based id go with either of those

This is a hit or miss. We bought all of that and used a bottle maybe 3 times her entire 19 month life.
Wife had lots milk so we didn't pump much, and whatever we pumped we ended up tossing because she just would not eat out of a bottle.

Yeah, every baby is going to be different.
If mom has a good amount of milk production, I'd encourage you to look into donating the excess milk to your local hospital. They're always in need and it will go to another baby in need as well.
The thing with breastfeeding is that even if you breastfeed, you're going to want to pump to get the most milk out as possible so that you can have a decent volume.. You can always freezes milk to use for later (they usually last 6 months IIRC).
Also another benefit is that if your baby takes the bottle (and this is a learning process in and of itself), you can swap out and feed the baby so that it isn't mom that always has to do it.

-signed up for a Black Friday deal yesterday with Fido. A good phone plan. -went to the Fido Store at 1st Avenue Marketplace (1st avenue and Renfrew) in East Van.
Bring your own device for this plan:
No Contract.
Year 1: $35/month for 12 GB
Year 2: $40/month for 12 GB
Year 3 and so on: $50 month for 12 GB
Unlimited Canada wide calling minutes. Unlimited texts and video calls nation wide.
This plan is for new Fido customers only at this particular store location.
This deal from this Fido store location is better than the deal posted on RedFlag Deals. That deal is $40/month for the first 24 months for 12 GB.

Will Fido honor this deal for existing customers? I haven't been on a contract with them in a long time, but a Fido customer for nearly 8 years.

-probably a good idea to call that store location first to ask if this Black Friday deal is for existing customers too.
I called the store yesterday just to make that they offered this deal.
https://www.fido.ca/stores/vancouver...ue-marketplace
604 216 6788.
FYI. This store used to be called Pepper Wireless.
I was the only customer inside the store asking for this deal yesterday afternoon. 1st AVenue Market place looked pretty quiet other than the busy shoppers at the T&T.
