Save on Baby Supplies

Saving on Formula.  If you haven’t shopped for formula yet, make sure you are sitting down when you look at the price.  You could very easily spend $100 a month or more on it.  Even if you are planning to breastfeed it doesn’t hurt to have a supply of formula on hand.  Here are some saving resources:

Also, talk to your pediatrician about using formula.  Sometimes they have special coupons and rebate forms not available through other means.  Ask for samples and explain to them if you are having trouble affording the formula, especially if you need a super expensive specialty one. When my daughter was switched to a hypoallergenic formula the doctor arranged to have a case sent to me. Also, have the discussion with your doctor about how to use the different brands and if generic versions are all right for your child.  My doctor surprised me with my son by saying that since he had no feeding issues we were free to try the generic formulations as well as switch between brands depending on what I had coupons for.  For us as long as it was milk based I could use any brand or if we were using soy then we had to stick to soy based but didn’t have to be brand loyal. My son didn’t have any issues with changing but be sure to get the green light from your doctor first.  Check Ebay for formula rebate forms.  You can also buy formula checks from other people on Ebay but that gets into a grey area with couponing ethics.  You can combine your formula checks with manufacturer coupons.  For example, I buy a lot of Enfamil Toddler formula.  These are about  $17 at most stores.  I use a $5 manufacturer printable from Coupons.com (Click Here) and then $10 worth of formula checks to get my price down to $2 a can. There is a coupon for $5 off a can of Enfamil on coupons.com right now.  And then keep an eye out for the catalina’s that print when you buy formula.  I have had some print for $10 a can so these can be pretty valuable.  

While you are there be sure to sign up for the home mailing list and both Huggies and Pampers offer rewards programs.  So far I have received several packs of Huggies, swim diapers, music downloads and from Pampers a Deigo potty seat which will come in handy some day.
As far as buying diapers I typically buy at the drugstores when they have good sales.  In a cruch I have found that both Amazon and Diapers.com offer competitive pricing and fast delivery. Diapers.com offers new customers $10 off their first order and you can mail in your manufacturer coupons. Delivery is free with a $49 order and they have a great referral program.  If you use my referral code you will get an extra 15% off.
