Baby Freebies and Deals PSA

I debated starting a new thread for this...but screw it. I love freebies, samples, deals, everything! There's always the codes for those baby leggings, nursing pillows, car seat covers, etc etc (STM's you know what I'm talking about right? I only like the car seat cover anyway), I figured we could use a place where we could share any baby/pregnancy freebies, too good to pass up deals, or once in a lifetime sales. Yes, it's super early for some things I realize, but I wasn't sure how long some of these deals would be going on and wanted to share what I've found so far. Sometimes these offers disappear quickly.
Walmart Baby Welcome Box
https://www.walmart.com/cp/baby-registry/1229485?u1=&oid=223073.1&wmlspartner=CY3NkS*Y9qw&sourceid=16162260533311851555&affillinktype=10&veh=aff
Scroll down to where it says "Welcome Box, delightful surprises for you and your baby, sign up now. Just fill in your info. Says 5 weeks for delivery. FYI, I couldn't get it to work on my phone so use a desktop if possible.
Amazon Registry (*ETA 2/27/17 looks like this is out of stock at the moment. But I've finished my registry requirements and signed up to receive an email when it's back in stock. ETA 3/2/17 BACK IN STOCK. Get it before it disappears again!)

I haven't done this one yet, but plan to soon when I have the time. If you're a prime member you just need to create a registry, add at least one item from each of their categories, and once $10 is spent on one of your registry items you'll receive a baby welcome box (yes, slightly complicated). You can make a registry private. Which is what I'll do for right now since I'm paranoid about someone finding it (though that might be a crazy person thought). Honestly, for right now I just plan to add and buy something off the registry that's $10 and for my toddler so I'll get the box now.
Check with your Insurance
I also suggest everyone check with their insurance companies to see if they offer anything! I signed up for a baby welcome box from my insurance company's website and received it today. I received a pair of baby socks, a bib, a small bottle of lotion, two books for baby (ok, the toddler already stole those), a book for me on baby and toddler nutrition (lots of recipes), nursing pads, and some coupons. They also sent a form for me to take to my doctor to fill out and then they will give me additional free money added to my wellness card (to use on other medical expenses). I realize this is different for everyone and every plan. But I was pleasantly surprised. I had this same insurance with my first pregnancy and there was none of this. Also, check with them about how to receive your free breast pump of course when the time comes.
Anyway, that's all for now but I'm constantly scouring the couponing blogs and facebook pages for more freebies. If no one else finds value in this thread feel free to turn it into a GIF party.

Re: Baby Freebies and Deals PSA
My biggest freebies tip is to get the F R E E breast pumps through your insurance! I was able to get a top of the line Medela Pump in Style through my insurance with my first.
I didn't know that about the Amazon box, but certainly plan to make use of the Amazon registry and their rewards system. Even if I'm the only one buying off of it.

I did consider doing this thread the other day but wasn't sure how it would be taken, I get emailed from tons of companies about giveaways and freebies.
@ShakeUpTampa share all the freebies!

Any other jersey girls? I signed up for this a few days after BFP (optimistic, i know lol) and my baby box arrived today! It's totally free and has lots of free goodies. I'll take some pics once i can actually go through what's inside. I don't think this is available in other states yet. https://babyboxuniversity.com/
@shakeupTampa going of her comment. I highly recommend that everyone sign up for the Enfamil even if you are planning to only BF. It was a financial relief to swap coupons with ladies in my last BMB. So even if you won't use them, there will be ladies here that certainly can.
A PSA on Enfamil and Similac Coupons from an extreme couponer. They read "One Coupon per purchase" which means if you are purchasing 4 Similac items you can use 4 coupons. If it said "One coupon per transaction" you would be restricted to one.
I purchased the quarts of ready to feed formula which are $7.99/qt, after the coupon each one was $2.99/qt, making my total for a week of formula $7 instead of $32. #gamechanger
Here are a few websites I found. The PENNY1 will give you $30-$50 off your order depending on the site.

Huggies has a rewards program too.
Are you referring to the Huggies program? I think they do receipts. As far as I'm aware Pampers still just does the codes which you can scan from your phone (their scanner SUCKS though. 99% of the time I have to type it in). I completely dropped the Huggies rewards when the changed it even though I always buy Huggies Wipes and Pampers diapers.
Also, if you sign up for Pampers it's worthwhile to also follow Hip2Save (or a similar couponing blog). They frequently post codes for bonus points. I've gotten several pretty good quality Melissa and Doug toys over the past couple years!

Steals.com is a great site as well. They have different "steals" ever 12 hours. Some days are hit or miss, but when the baby gear is on there you can get items for upwards of 70%-75% off. I got my nursing cover for $10, a nose comfy for $7 (think nosefrida, but uses tissues as filters and is easier to clean), and much more.
@purplestars Thank you for this post! I didn't know Amazon does a baby welcome box. Time to make a secret baby registry
EDIT: Just saw a mamaroo for under $160, potty chairs, co sleep things and some mattresses.
I ordered one for my first baby. I didn't find it useful as it was much thinner and smaller and didn't provide good support. I wound up investing in the Boppy which we love so much more. The only time I used my "free" nursing pillow from that site was when we returned home from the hospital, I used it as a pillow to sit on (doughnut) because my vagina hurt so much.
