Mamas, Use Coupons to Save $$ on Feeding Your Infant!
02/08/2010 – 3:41 pm | No Comment

Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

Although I plan on 100% breastfeeding Bug, I have experience with formula feeding as Carli was formula fed full time after she was 4 months of age. I can sympathize with other formula feeding mothers the expenses that build up quickly when choosing to go the formula route.

To save instant money, it is recommended to steer clear of huge brand names and use more generic, store-brand formulas (who are made to the same standards as it’s competitors).

Though to save even MORE money, Baby Formula Quiz (a website) gives you an instant store-brand formula coupon. You can save as much as $3 on your formula choices!

All you have to do is answer seven random questions about baby formula. You can also get a coupon for your store brand infant formula but filling out the name and address at StoreBrandFormula.com.

Even though formula feeding seems to be the easier option, it definitely can be pricey.  There is a considerable amount of price difference in huge brand names vs. store-brand including Enfamil Gentlease ($24.99) and store-brand Babies ‘R Us Gentle Formula at 15.99! That is a 9$ difference. You can almost get two 24oz containers of store-brand for the price of one brand name!

There are many options available that will allow you to get the most for your buck. To help save your family money, use the following two very simple rules:

  • Shop store-brand.
  • Use coupons (yes, even for store-brand items!)

I wish I would have known about these websites while I formula fed Carli. We used store brand from Sam’s Club- and it would have been even more rewarding to have been able to use coupons! I can only imagine the hundreds of dollars I would have saved!
