Before I start, I want to mention that this is a paid post thru Social Spark. The thoughts & opinions are mine.
It has been a while since I’ve had to purchase infant formula for my babies…..My babies aren’t exactly babies anymore. But trust me, I’ve done my time. I’ve had my experience. And I have successfully gotten 5 kids out of diapers and bottles and baby food.
I was able to breast feed all of my kids – something I absolutely loved and was so happy to be able to do – but there were plenty of times over those many long years that I needed to give them formula. I remember how much those cans of formula could add up.
I have always been a fan of store brands. There are only a few things that I won’t compromise on. Most everything else, I’ve found, is worth the savings. Store-brand formulas are nutritionally equivalent to name-brand formulas, and honestly, my kids never complained. Sold at more than 35,000 retailers, grocery stores, and drugstores such as Walmart, Sam’s Club, Target, Kroger, Walgreens, CVS, and Babies “R” Us, store brand formulas typically save parents up to 50 percent on formula. A 50 percent savings is huge!
I just heard about an amazing deal: special cans of Walmart’s store brand formula (Parent’s Choice Infant Formula) are currently on sale. For a limited time, Parent’s Choice Infant Formula is available as a special buy:
· Parent’s Choice Milk Infant Formula is on sale in a 15.5 oz (440 gram) can for $5.00 each.
· Parent’s Choice Gentle Infant Formula for babies with fussiness or gas is on sale in a special 12.9 oz (366 gram) can for $5.00 each.
I also heard the following interesting information, and include it as an FYI:
All infant formulas marketed in the United States are subject to the same exacting standards of the FDA, pursuant to the Infant Formula Act of 1980 and the subsequent LSRO report commissioned by FDA in 1998. This legislation vested FDA with the authority to ensure that all infant formulas sold in the United States meet minimum and maximum nutrient specifications.
This information is now more important than ever for many mothers because of changes in the Women, Infants and Children program. As of October 1, 2009, a new WIC initiative aimed at increasing breastfeeding rates among families reallocates funding for all currently provided foods, including infant formula, baby foods, juices, and fresh fruits and vegetables. This program could mean a reduction of up to 20 percent in infant-formula subsidies; parents who previously had most of their formula paid for by WIC may now have to purchase formula on their own.
