When FatHeadPup made the switch from breastmilk to formula, I developed an important sixth sense–how to find formula for cheap. It started at the doctor’s office: Every pediatrician and ob/gyn appointment, I came with a mission–Formula samples or bust. I simply had to ask what formula samples they had, and they gladly handed over a can or two. Some generous nurses loaded me up one day on cans that were a few months from expiration, to ensure someone got to use them.
Once that well dried up, I perused my local Craig’s List. While there were many well-meaning moms that had Enfamil to trade for Similac, and vice versa, none of them were ever close enough to me to justify the trade. Good option, though. So, I enacted a local sort-of Craig’s List, where I networked with every friend I knew for possible trades–with great success. We traded formula brands, coupons and formula checks, all to my formula stockpile’s delight.
When free formula ran dry, I turned to clearance formula. It became a new hobby; Every CVS, Walgreens, grocery store and superstore I felt compulsed to peruse the formula aisle for sales or final clearance on formula cans. My biggest feat was finding the large 25 oz cans of Similac on secret, unmarked clearance of $11.89. I used a $1off coupon and $5 formula check for each, and I managed to get dozens and dozens of $25 cans for $6. Seriously, a thrill!
So, even though FatHeadPup is a whole milk-chugging one-and-half year old, I get a tingle about this great printable Enfamil coupon. It’s a Bricks coupon, which means you need to download the coupon printer. But, if you click on HELP on the bottom right corner, it’ll pop up an address form to have a coupon snail mailed to you!
