Kirkland's (Costco) vs Enfamil/Similac

Hi all -

 We are new to formula and I'm quite sticker shocked at the price of Enfamil and Similac - even at Costco!  I compared the Kirkland's brand nutritional values and it doesn't seem to be that much different.  What are your thoughts?

  • We solely used Costco's formula.  Our daycare provides all his formula while he is there as long as he uses that kind.  He's been good on it.  I can't believe how much we spend on formula and we get one that is less expensive and daycare provides a good portion of it.  
  • We switched to the Sam's Club brand (Members Mark) and have had no problems.  Infant formula is highly regulated, so as long as you LO likes it, it should be fine.

  • We have been using the Walmart brand formula since DS was 6 weeks old.  Pedi said it was perfectly fine and there is really no difference between it and Similac.  It cut our formula costs in half each month.

  • We switched from Good Start to HEB (local grocery chain) when he was 6 or 7mos.  We just couldn't take $25 per can every 3 days.  Wyeth Pharmeceuticals makes most of the generic formulas - Target, HEB, Kirkland's at Costco, Wal-Mart, Kroger, Albertson's, etc.  I found it on their website once but now I can't find it again to post.
