baby formula

[prechrswife]

If I get any, I'll try to remember to send them your way. Have you signed up for the Publix baby club? They send good coupons every so often. They are only for use at Publix, but the name brand formula is about the same price there as it is anywhere else. We use the Target and Wal-Mart store brand formula, too. They have comparable versions to most of the name brand formulas, and the price is much less. Malcom is on the equivalent of Similac Sensitive, and we pay $14.95/can or so for the store brand vs. about $25-ish for the name brand.

I signed up at the similac website, if I get coupons I will pm you to let you know...btw...I said I was due in march and I am ten years younger

Wow! Thanks!

Yes, I signed up for the baby club too. Publix is a lot more expensive though for baby products. I get formula at Walmart or BJ's. Believe me I have priced the stuff everywhere.

[caseysmom]

Do you have access to Sam's club? They have similac I believe.

We used the BJ's brand formula. comparable to the name brand but less expensive.

[beeniesmom]

Yes, we have a Sams nearby but I let my membership expire since, at least in our area, BJ's seems to be a bit cheaper, for the same products.

I am a little reluctant to change to a different, even if comparable, store brand. I already had to change once from breastmilk to formula and she didn't do too well for a while. Now she's doing really well on it and I don't want to mess anything up.

If I get any, I'll send them your way! Was she not doing well with breastmilk or did you decide to wean her? I've seen the price of formula, yikes! But I feel like I eat three times more than I did before so maybe it evens out.

That makes sense, really. We switch back and forth between the store brand sensitivity formula and Similac Sensitive, just because our pediatrician's office is very good about giving us free samples of the name brand stuff. Otherwise, we would use the store brand all the time. I certainly understand the reluctance, though. When you find something that works, you stick with it.
