Does anyone know how can I get formula coupons/checks (similac/gerber)?
I have signed up at Similac/Gerber websites but haven't gotten anything.
Thanks for your input:)
I once called up Similac to ask a question and the customer service representative asked if I would like to receive coupons. Why not? :) Days later I received two $3 off coupons in the mail. Good luck.
Use store brand!!!! At Target, similac is $24.99 for a standard size tub, and Up and Up (Target brand) is $13.99!
They are nutritionally the same, they must be according to FDA standards. Even with coupons from the big name manufacturers, its still cheaper to use store brand...
Unless your baby must have a specialized formula that's only made by one of those companies, use the store brand. The FDA mandates that ALL formulas have the same ingredients and nutritional content. Check the labels! We used Target Up and Up and Kroger Comforts soy formula for my youngest -both were literally HALF the price of Similac and Enfamil! He's always been healthy, happy and smart -the generic stuff is fine! Even with coupons you'll wind up paying more for the name brand formula.
first WOW at the rudeness! "moms like you" what does that mean? just because she wants to formula feed her baby? at least she's feeding baby! GOSH get off your soapbox already! anyways, my friend signed up for those sites and said she got stuff about 6 weeks after. and i agree the unless your baby needs a certain kind the store brands are just as good and cost a lot less!
Ignore Pamela.
If you aren't able to get the checks, definitely look into the store brand. My son used Member's Mark and Parent's Choice and they were just as good as Similac.
When you sign up, check the boxes that say you plan to breastfeed. Or better yet, buy a nursing bra at Motherhood and pay with a credit card. They don't send nearly as much stuff to people who know they will be formula feeding.
You can play their sleazy little game if you know how ;-)
I haven't gotten any either. Funny thing is, my neighbor got some a few months ago from Similac and her youngest is 8. Babies R Us is running sales right now on all of their formula with some coupons, and I did use Babies R Us brand formula for my daughter and she didn't have a problem. The sale isn't as good as the checks, but it's something. Also, a friend of mine her daughter needs to be on the really expensive Similac and she said she found her best prices buying in bulk through Amazon mom.
Well when my son was on Gerber, I used to get checks each month in the mail from them that could be used as a coupon on a purchase. BUT you can also call them or write them and tell them how much you like their products and are planning to continue using them and they'll usually mail you some then as well.
I'd call the company too - or email them. They'll be happy to have a potential customer. Although, I agree, to say that you are going to breastfeed at least parttime. I got TONS when I checked that box.
Have a relative or friend sign up . Also, you can call the company and tell them you haven't received anything. Good luck :)
If you make friends with a breastfeeding mom you can have her sign up too, and then trade her her formula checks for good diaper coupons!
Seemed like we received a $5 coupon directly from Infamil once a month after we signed up. Babies R Us is fairly frequent with the $2 and $3 coupons in the Sunday circular.
Enfamil is the best. They send me 10 dollars a month, I also have signed up everyone in my family so we all get them! If you have a tom thumb, they will let you use them all at once.
What a mean, spiteful, judgemental woman Pamela is!
I breastfed, but I signed up for the coupons for my friends who used formula (they never had any problems using the checks even though my name was on them). So, I would ask family & friends to sign up and give you their coupons. Also, I have found Amazon Mom to be the cheapest around for diapers and I assume they would also have great prices on formula as well.
