How can I get formula coupons?

in Parenting after a Loss

My milk supply has taken a hit with this pregnancy, so I'm going to need to start supplementing with formula. The kind of formula I know DD is ok with is the special preemie blend neosure by similac. I'm not really interested in trying other formula brands. However, that stuff is pricey!

I keep seeing that people get formula coupons sent to them. How do I get on similac's mailing list so they'll send me similac coupons? How often do they send coupons?

Any other tricks for getting discounts on similac?

    I just googled this yesterday because I am also supplementing with formula. I went to similac website and signed up on strongmoms I believe its called. They say thats how you get the coupons... Someone also said they are on ebay?

    You can sign up on Similac's website and they'll start sending you some. I have been getting Similac and Enfamil coupons for months. We use Similac and have stocked up on formula, but have extra coupons.

    I'll check if they are specifically for Similac Advance (what we use) or if they are good on any Similac product. If they are good for any product, I can send them your way.

    I'll let you know when I get home from work today. It's only 8:30am here.

    I forget if it was signing up specifically with Similac (I think it was, possibly online) or if it was a result of signing up for some weekly update thing (ala 'your baby Week 19'). 

    I get 1-3 per month it seems.  $5 each usually.

    Honestly, I just randomly get them in the mail.

    BUT, the best place I've found to purchase Similac is at Sam's.  I can get double the amount for $28.

    Also ask your pedi for coupons and samples and your OB too.  My neighbor got about a months supply from her pedi for free.

    Like others said I'd go to the website and sign up.  You tend to get more when they think you're at the end of your pregnancy or have a newborn so I might fudge those dates.

    Also, we used Enfacare (the Enfamil version of NeoSure) and I found that I could generally only use the checks for the formula (not coupons) and I could never find it at places like Costco.  Since they don't sell it in the larger sizes when you see coupons they never work for the 22 cal formula and usually the coupons are for the larger sizes.

    Sign up on the formula web sites, decide which one you will use, then go to Swap Spot on the Bump and trade the ones you won't use for the kind you need! I don't think I paid for any formula at all until B was 8 months old and the coupons stopped coming. Boo.

    imageRachaelA:
    Target has started randomly IDing people when they use formula checks (its random and their system chooses when they need to check IDs). So its getting harder to use other people's checks. I got IDed trying to use another PALers checks at Target.

    Yikes I hope they don't do that to me. I only ever use checks sent to me but somehow they got my name COMPLETELY wrong in their system LOL.

    OP: I think I have some Simliac checks somewhere (we use Enfamil) I will try to find them and see if they aren't expired and then I can send them to you if you want.

    I don't have an answer for you - but I just had to reply and tell you congratulations on your current pregnancy!!  I'm really happy for you and I'll be sending you all kinds of good juju for a smooth, happy and healthy pregnancy!  (BTW - I may be checking with you every now and then to see how it's going.  DH and I would like to try again in a couple of months, and I'd like to see how everything is before I attempt it :))
