so i found out you can use formula checks at Sams Club

which is great; they sell Gentelease for $32 for 36 oz (.88/oz).. and with coupon it's $27 (.75/oz).

Right now though the best deal is at our Target they have the 20% more free cans so i get 28.8oz for $21 (.72/oz) using the $5 coupon... but i know they won't have those forever... so sams club will be the cheapest!

i know i have way to much time on my hands

What are formula checks? I just switched to formula yesterday and I'm clueless.

Just a tip though, when you get to Sam's ask them if they'll just run it as cash. I've had the HARDEST time with them trying to run it as a check and it always takes forever becuase they end up messing something up and voiding the sale and having to start over. I've had three different checkers have this happen, they don't always listen when I say "run it as cash, there's always problems..."

I was going to respond in your other post: I'm sorry you've had to make such a hard decision about stopping BF. I know it's hard, I had to make the decision after 10 days of trying because my milk never came in and DD was starving. Formula's not bad, and don't let anyone make you feel bad for your decision! You're doing what's best for your situation, and that's all you can do. GL! ~A

Go to the formula's website and sign up for the checks program. Mark that you are BFing and you'll get more, sooner. They are like coupons, only the store cashes them as checks...I have no idea why they do it this way! Your big box stores will have the best deals (Sam's, Costco, etc.) because you can buy in bulk and use the check.
