OK so moms out there, anyone have a good coupon place to go to for similac formula?
Contact Similac and ask for coupons. I've done that for Enfamil. They have sent me $5 off coupons.
The similac site itself.
The sent 2 whole containers and $25 in "checks" (not coupons, you just present the $5 check at checkout -or all $25- and it's decducted off of your formula total), and have been sending $5 checks once a month since. I got it for a friend of mine, and just hand them over, so you could actually enlist family and friends to do the same thing for you.
similac sensitive has a coupon on top of the cans at Kroger right now, 5$ off, not sure if it's specific to the type or good on any similac formula, but worth looking when you go out. Otherwise the ONLY place I've found good ones are from similac, but I don't get many. I get enfamil coupons all the time, and unless you get wic and are against using 2 different types of formula, or your baby is sensitive to the switching back and forth, it's not a big deal to change. I'm in sandusky as well, and actually have a bunch of enfamil and good start coupons sitting here, but my little guy can only take allimentum :(. it stinks cause my other kids I could just buy whatever I had a coupon for or was on sale at the time.
I use Similac sensitive and only found Similac to be the place for coupons. I signed up on their website. I remember getting more coupons through them with my first. But I also buy mine at BJ's club. Best price. But if you don't have to use Similac, I agree with the others and buy store brand. We did that with walmarts sensitive, but our little one didn't seem to do well with it.
Store Brands are not required to have the same Additives. Nutrition is one thing but additives are not good either. Something to think about! Bes places I have ever found are through the company directly. I bought for a year with Goodstart a whil back. It's a lot at once but saved about $4 a can doing so.
Do you have to use a special type of Similac? Store brands are REQUIRED by law to contain the exact same ingredients -compare the labels. They are usually 30-50% less than the name brands! There are Enfamil and Similac types that are specialized that you cannot find in store brands, but if your baby is on regular or soy formula -give the store brands a try! Other than that -google. There are tons of coupon listings online.
I got coupons mailed to me from Similac (registered on their website) and also got coupons from the register at checkout (at Giant Eagle) good for the next purchase when I bought it there as I recall. Good Luck =)
I agree with Julie, and other than the really expensive specialized types the store brands have a variety of types and they are exactly the same nutritionally. We used the lactose free Target brand with our oldes. Plus the have the really big cans for less than $20. Other than that just google it, or go to a site like babycenter.com or something and check. you can also go to the Similac website to check, and a lot of times you can get sample cans in the mail as well!!
