Bargain shopping

[ann.bob]

We have a four week old and living in NYC. Terrible place to find bargains. We're renting a car this coming weekend for a trip to Cape Cod and wondered if anyone knew of a good bargain place we could stop at between here and there to stock up, specifically for formula and diapers, but also still need nursery things. Any suggestions? Maybe someplace in Rhode Island??????

Not sure about a bargain place specifically for formula and diapers, but there are a few stores around RI and MA (within 45 min of Newport, RI) that you might want to try. Warwick, RI is off I-95 just south of Providence. Seekonk, Fall River and New Bedford are all off of I-195 to the East of Providence. Anyway, hope these help.
