Buying Formula in bulk?

Where do those of you who buy formula in bulk buy yours? I looked on the Enfamil website and it's more expensive to order in bulk from there than to buy it at Walmart.

    Buying in bulk online is not worth it, IMO.  I buy mostly at Target or BRU and always use a mfr. coupon, store coupon, and a formula check.  I use name brand (Good Start) but I spend way less than even using generic would cost.  I think I only spend about $20-30 a month on formula.

    I spend about $24 a week. How are you managing 20-30 a month? I'm jealous if that wasn't a typo!

    Me too!  Right now I have 6 cans of Similac RTF formula stock piled.  They are on sale right now for $3.86 (normal $5.84) at Target.  I use a $5 check and either A) have money taken off other stuff with the left over check money or B) only pay 84 cents a bottle.  I did have tons of $2 off coupons but used all those.  So than I was getting the formula for free.   Everytime I go to the store I use a check and pick up formula.

    Sams club has the enfamil premium 41.8 ounce cans for $33 so if I don't have any coupons I buy the formula there.

    Lately I have been buying the enfamil refill boxes because I have tons of coupons.  (target has 35 ounces for $34)

    I order from Amazon unless I have coupons/ formula checks to use.

    It is cheaper and we get free two day shipping with Amazon Prime.  You can't beat having formula delivered right to your door for less that you can buy it at thhe store.

    Example:  My formula is frequently on sale at BRU for $19.99, I use a $4 off 2 cans coupon, a $3 coupon for each can, my $5 reward plus a few checks and I'll usually walk out paying around $10 for two of the big 20% extra bonus cans.  That will last at least 2 weeks.

    We spend $60ish a week.  K is on Alimentum RTF which is about $10 for a 32 ounce container. We go through about 6 containers a week.

    This. But I also use my checks at Sams Club and get the 41.8 ounce for $29.00. You definitely can't beat that if you're using Enfamil powder.
