Late to the formula game

RSClementine · May 2011

We just introduced formula, and J loves it. Yeah! Now I am on the hunt for the best deals. I know you formula pros have lots of tricks, so I'd love to learn them! We are using enfamil.

Have you signed up for the formula checks? If you haven't, do that ASAP. Sign everyone in your family up for then and use both your maiden name and married name. Also do the same with Similac and Gerber. You can trade those on here for more Enfamil Checks.

Some stores let you stack checks. Target used to let me, but I think I wore out my welcome. TRU still lets me stack. At Target you can use a Target, Manufacturer and Check on one item so you can get a lot of savings there. Ask your Pedi for sample cans.

What type of Enfamil are you using?

Thanks Loves, just signed up for formula checks. We are using Enfamil Premium Lipil powder.

to add on to what loves said, technically you aren't supposed to stack checks at all, so if they tell you no you can't argue.. just say "nevermind" and try again later. it completely depends on the cashier and 1) if they know what they're doing or 2) if they care. I used to stack checks all the time because nobody ever told me not to and the system lets you do it at every store because the checks are entered the same as personal checks, not coupons. I guess this is sorta a moral thing, but hey I'd do it!!!

Ditto what PPs said. I shop at Target a lot, so I'll wait til they're having one of their sales. They sometimes have a buy 2, get a $5 or $10 gift card free. I also have the Target credit card, so I get 5% off too.

One of the baby deals websites I check will post if there are deals on formula. Not sure if I can post the website here (although it's a well-known one-so you may already check it for other things). I can PM you with the site if you want.

If you have a costco near you, they sell a giant canister of it for $30. We got our formula for DS1 there all the time.

We are in the process of switching DS2 over to alimentum for his milk/soy allergy and thankfully insurance is paying 100%.

Your insurance covers Alimentum??? How did you find out?
