BF complaining

So since I found out I was pregnant I've been looking on craigslist and eBay to help me find used baby things to buy for the baby,  we're on a budget but I want to be able to get my baby what he needs without depending on other people and ever since I started doing that my bf has been complaining.  Every time I but something he complains and gets agitated,  I've explained to him that he should be happy that I'm saving us money and an willing to spend my extra money on the baby instead of junk that I don't need but he constantly makes me feel like ****.  I just don't know what to do anymore.

Try garage sales? We've had pretty good luck for jumpers and things like that. We have a crib, a pack n play, a swing, bottle warmers and clothes, a walker, car seat bases, car seat, etc... We got all of this for under $40 just at garage sales. But about his complaining, tell him to man up and support you because it takes two to make a baby. Tell him that by getting uses things your probably saving hundreds of dollars that could go to a bill or something like that.

Boys have so much pride! I suggest letting him buy a few things. And the more expensive things buy used. Explain to him and try to see his side as well. If he still gets mad I would personally keep buying them because you know in the long run it'll be best. Show him why it's best to buy used-like go shopping with him and let him see how expensive the crib and stroller is haha!!
