where do you buy formula?

Since weaning, we are (obviously) going through crazy amounts of similac! Where do you get your best deals??

Re: where do you buy formula?

  • Costco has similac sensitive, much better prices then the grocery stores. I want to say it was $26 for 2lbs or something like that

  • We use Similac neosure. So, If I have coupons, I will buy it at Target because it is the cheapest. Unfortunately our Target does not keep up with our demand, so I will buy in bulk on ebay. They are always sealed cans and I can usually get them for the same prices as I can with coupons at the store if not less. The only thing is that I have to wait for auctions to end and have it shipped to me which I cant always predict what day it will arrive. Between the two of those options it is the only way I have been able to survive!

    We got all formula from Costco, too. It is comparable to Similac Advance and DDs had zero problems with it. Far cheaper than name brand!

    Also, if you haven't already, ask their pedi about Similac's multiples gift--their dr. signs a voucher and you get one free case of Similac (you pick the kind they need) per baby. Sweet!

    We were buying Similac Advance at Costco or Sam's until we switched to the Costco/Kirkland brand formula.  We switched with no issues and it was so much cheaper!

  • we alwyas had to use ready to feed & bought it by the case at BJs
  • We used Neosure then Similac Advance.....we bought powder at Sam's Club (no Costco or BJ's around here). For RTF we usually bought at Walmart or Meijer with coupons and/or formula checks.

  • I use Costco if I have no coupons, since they don't accept them, and Target or Fred Meyer if I do. I noticed that I tend to get occasional catalinas and mailed coupons from Fred Meyer, plus it adds toward our rewards card, so the dollar extra per can over Target doesn't make a difference in the end. Target keeps advertising Similac on "sale", when it is actually only 9 cents lower than normal, and I find that so annoying.

    Yup. And this week it's 10% off (at least around here) so you get 40oz of powdered formula for $17.99.

  • Target brand compared to Enfmail Gentle ease. I used the target brand compared to similac sensitive in the beignning. They took to it just fine. It has all the same ingredients on the brand name ones...your just paying for the name.

    40 oz for 19.99
