Tips to Buy Cheap Baby Formula

Buy Baby Formula Cheap

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.
