Another thing: Baby gates. Until the kid is walking, the wooden ones from, again, Walmart/Target are just fine and less than $10. Plus they do double duty with dogs ;)
And a video baby monitor? Get the cheapest sound monitor you can find - that's all you need.
So many things on that list make me realize how long ago I had a kid - 24 years. Most of that stuff didn't even exist. You can get through with not much, really
