One of the tried and true ways to save money on baby formula is with manufacturer coupons.  These coupons can save you up to $5.00 or more on your purchase.  And, most stores honor these coupons.

Of course, the trick is making sure you have a formula coupon when you need it. There are a couple of ways to get formula coupons and make sure you have them on hand.

First, check out the Enfamil formula coupons that we have available.  You can get the coupons you want and have them on hand anytime your ready to use them.

Second, you can register for free products, including formula and diaper coupons.   Click this for FREE baby stuff! This is a good idea, but you will get a mix of coupons and discounts on a designated schedule.  In other words, you may get formula coupons for Enfamil, but your also going to get it for other formula manufacturers.  Plus, you don't control when you get the coupons.  Regardless, free is free so register and use what you can.

Third, some companies have coupons online that you can print out.  It is a wide range of products.  It's free to get these coupons.  (The only trick is that formula coupons are not always available).  But, you might save a $1.00 on salad dressing to use toward buying formula.  The two coupon websites that I recommend are:

CouponBar -Download our FREE CouponBar to get quick and easy access to dozens of name brand coupons!

CoolSavings -Print REAL coupons from your computer at CoolSavings! Just click here!

Finally, you could start a coupon club at your church, school, or with friends.  For example, if your friend is using Good Start Formula and you are using Enfamil, you could trade your coupons so that each got more coupons of the formula that you use.

Hope these leads and ideas help you save some money.  If you have any thoughts or suggestions, leave us your comments.

Here are some tips for successfully buying baby food formula on ebay at a huge discount.

In my experience, the best savings or on purchasing baby formula, rather than coupons. For whatever reason, the competition for coupons is greater. However, I encourage you to do what your most comfortable doing.

1. Do not try and go for a home run and bid 10 cents on the dollar, your wasting your time because you will get out bid. This is a great way for parents to save money. As a consequence, you will not be the only one bidding.

   When bidding, aim for a 30% savings. So if you are currently paying $15 per can, then your highest bid should be no more than $10.50 per can. ($15 X .7 = $10.5). DO NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE SHIPPING IN YOUR FINAL COST CALCULATION.

   Here is how to do it. Determine your highest bid per can (see above). Multiply your highest bid per can by the number of cans in the auction. This number will be your target final cost. Now, subtract the cost of shipping from your target final cost, this is the maximum amount you should bid.

   So, assume 5 cans are up for bid and I normally pay $15 per can. And, assume the seller is charging 11.95 for shipping.
   
   -($15 x .7 = $10.5) my highest bid per can
   -($10.5 x 5 = $52.5) my target final cost
   -($52.5 - $11.95 = $40.55) my maximum bid

2. Enter your maximum bid, as calculated above, on your first bid. In other words, if your maximum bid is $40.55 (from the example above). You may or may not reach your maximum bid, everything under your maximum bid is just more savings for you. Remember how ebay bidding works - only the next bid necessary to win (up to your maximum bid) is entered.

3. After you have found your brand of formula and specific formulation, ebay lets you choose to see all auctions or auctions with a "buy it now" option. Before you bid, see if there are any buy it now auctions were you can save at least 30% (use test above). If so, grab it.

4. Generally shipping takes 5 days on average, so you need to win an auction so that you do not run out of formula.

Good luck, I hope the information helps.
