I generally got it on diapers.com or amazon - best prices! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129773 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:26:06 +0000 meredithNYC 1129773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was on formula we used Target's Up &amp; Up brand. It was amazingly inexpensive compared with the name brand stuff and LO did great with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129763 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:23:12 +0000 swedishfish 1129763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: thanks for the cartwheel app tip! We are starting our formula buying adventure and I'm a couponer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129737 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:10:04 +0000 luckypenny 1129737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Costco! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129367 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:39:48 +0000 GrapeCrush 1129367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: we also use UP&amp;Up gentle and DS did better on it than enfamil gentlease. DD has been on it since 1 week old and she's done great on it as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129364 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:38:16 +0000 blackbird 1129364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sam's Club online! Free shipping, $21/48 oz container. We spend about $35/month on formula. CRAZY</p> <p>(The Simply Right Sensitive is $24/48oz container at Sam's. It's the same as Similac) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129306 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:21:26 +0000 deerylou 1129306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: Thank you so much! I'll download it today. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129302 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:20:35 +0000 photojane 1129302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: Nope! Just go to the app store, and search for Cartwheel. You just browse the coupons, add the ones you want, then when you check out in the store they scan the barcode off of your screen. Super easy. I'm always searching for stuff on the app as I shop!</p> <p>@Smurfette: Yep. It's just like a little coupon/discounts app for Target - there are discounts on everything... clothes, groceries, beauty, etc.</p> <p>ETA: We actually prefer the Up&amp;Up to Enfamil as well. It mixes a lot easier... no chunks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129290 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:17:50 +0000 deerylou 1129290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Absolutely no issues. We actually saw a drop in fussiness once we switched to Target brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129268 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:12:59 +0000 Smurfette 1129268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: We use the Similac sensitive. Was thinking about trying the Target. You think it is the same? No issues?<br /> @photojane: What is the cartwheel app? Just for Target? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129267 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:12:51 +0000 BSB 1129267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I went to a consignment sale last night and saw bottles of formula for sale. It might be cheaper checking big consignment sales. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129259 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:11:16 +0000 sumer08 1129259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was formula fed, we found the cheapest place to be Costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129237 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:06:18 +0000 GrapeCrush 1129237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: there are coupons on the cartwheel app for diapers and wipes too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129232 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:05:39 +0000 GrapeCrush 1129232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @photojane:! LO actually did better on target brand than enfamil. You can also buy a case of 6 containers on the target website. There is a small savings, plus you can still use your redcard and save 5% on it, and free shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129228 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:04:46 +0000 fancyfunction 1129228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get Similac at Sam's Club - 8 pack of large ready-to-use bottles. We get coupons in the mail here and there, but I can't redeem them at Sam's so I'll use them at Target or BBB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129227 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:04:44 +0000 deerylou 1129227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: For real?! DH and I always mention how there's never a sale on the Up and Up formula and diapers (which are affordable as is, but hey, I'm cheap). Does the discount only apply to red card members? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129221 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:03:36 +0000 swurlygurl 1129221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kirkland brand at Costco. Thank goodness DD is not sensitive to formula types!</p> <p>I get Similac coupons in the mail it seems weekly. $5 off a product </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129215 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:02:26 +0000 photojane 1129215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: You need to get the Cartwheel app - there is ALWAYS a formula coupon on there. Diapers, food, etc. too! Usually just 5%, but sometimes it goes up to 20%! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129211 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:01:31 +0000 photojane 1129211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy Up&amp;Up Gentle (Target brand), because it's cheap &amp; almost exactly the same as the Enfamil Gentlease that she used to use. I have a Red card (the Target debit card) plus their cartwheel app, so I save at least 10% every time I buy formula. All you have to do is bring a voided check to their customer service department, and you get 5% off every time you shop (in store or online) plus free shipping from their website! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129117 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 13:41:58 +0000 Running Elley 1129117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we weaned to whole milk we bought Similac Sensitive at Costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129114 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 13:40:57 +0000 deerylou 1129114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy the Up and Up brand at Target. They have several ifferent kinds that are comparable/use the same ingredients as the name brand formulas. We were using Similac Sensitive until we realized that the Target equivalent was 1/2 the price. We spend about $21 every 10-12 days, which is a steal compared to what we were paying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129074 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 13:29:20 +0000 MamaG 1129074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CVS with their reward/coupon card is where we bought a lot. They often have $x off $x or 20% off a purchase. They also periodically would have formula on sale.</p> <p>Without any coupons, WalMart was cheapest in our area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129068 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 13:27:15 +0000 Smurfette 1129068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: We bought this last one at Costco. I thought it was cheaper, then anywhere else. </p> <p>@Mrs. Blue: I just signed up at Similac, hoping they will send me some. I didn't think to ask the pedi, will do next time we are there. Which I am sure will be before her scheduled 9 month appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129060 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 13:25:19 +0000 wheres_c 1129060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we buy kirland brand unless we have a coupon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129055 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 13:23:59 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1129055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Walmart is the cheapest I've found, but I usually get ours at Target while I'm picking up other stuff. Ask your ped if they have any coupons from the Similac/Enfamil/whatever rep. Sign up for coupons on line from whatever brand. We do all that for F's formula because he's on a special kind for preemies, but E is on the regular stuff and we made the switch to the Target brand about a month ago. We've had no problems and it's sooooo much cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129052 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 13:22:11 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1129052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy Similac at Sam's. I did the math and it's cheapest there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1129050 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 13:21:24 +0000 shinymama 1129050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target, Babies'R'Us, and VONS depending on who had the best sale at the time. The best was when Target ran their "buy 2 get a $10 gift card" promotion because I would buy quite a few then.</p> <p>I also received multiple $4/$5/$8 vouchers from Enfamil periodically. Right before the Target promotion expired, I would go back - with the Enfamil vouchers and all of the $10 gift cards I earned - and buy more formula, and earn more $10 gift cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-formula-2#post-1128975 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 13:06:04 +0000 Smurfette 1128975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where do you get your formula? Any tips for saving money? Getting coupons? </p>
