    If you have a baby that drinks formula, you know how expensive it can get buying all the time.

    Formula, for some, is a necessity but there are a few ways you can save money when buying baby formula.

    • 1. Sign up with Enfamil and Similac
    • 2. Use Rebate Apps
    • 3.Look for Deals at Target

    1. Sign up with Enfamil and Similac

    You don't know which formula baby will tolerate until you try it out, so as an expecting mom, sign up for both!

    a computer with Enfamil website and text overlay that reads sign up with enfamil receive free samples free coupons

    What you do is head over to Enfamil.com and sign up on their website for freebies and coupons.

    It is completely free to join, and they will send you 2 $5 coupons each month for formula.

    a computer with Similac website and text overlay that reads sign up with Similac receive free samples free coupons

    Let me tell you, $5 off of formula can really add up big time when you are trying to save money when buying baby formula.

    And again, until you know which brand baby will favor make sure to head over to Similac.com and sign up for their freebies too!

    2. Use Rebate Apps

    The third way to save money when buying baby formula is to use rebate apps like Ibotta. They don’t offer these rebates all the time, so it is imperative to scan over Ibotta before you purchase any.

    If you would like to join ibotta, use my referral code of shcgtml or you can sign up here at https://ibotta.com/r/shcgtml  This referral code will mean I will get $5 if you sign up, but after you complete your first rebate offer, you get $10!

    3.Look for Deals at Target

    Another way to save money when buying baby formula is to look for deals at Target.

    If you are familiar at all with Target, they have sales from time to time where you buy a certain amount of money from certain sections of their store (ie. Baby department, clothing department, etc) they will give you a gift card ($5, $10, or even $20).

    One department in particular, is their baby department which includes anything from diapers/wipes/formula and more and you only need to spend $100 and you receive a $20 gift card.

    If you are already going to need formula, stock up a little bit and earn yourself a free gift card! (YAY!) Sometimes it really is a matter of timing when you buy things, as these sales are not always available.

    What is also cool, you could pair the Similac/Enfamil coupons you got in the mail for an additional savings. With a little work, you could save money when buying formula every time.

    FAQ

    What is the most cost effective way to buy formula?

    The best ways to save money is to buy in bulk or use coupons and rebates. These can help you save a lot of money while you use baby formula.

    Can you buy baby formula on a flexible health account?

    According to the FSA Store, baby formula can not be used on your flexible saving account.

    Is powder formula the cheapest?

    Yes! Powdered baby formula is the most affordable option. Ready-made formula is a lot more money.

    This is why we like these baby formula dispensers so you can save time and quickly make a bottle on the go.

    While formula can be pricey, it doesn’t have to be with these 3 tips to save money when buying baby formula. I hope you enjoyed reading this and hopefully you can start saving money too!
