Coupon Question

**dz_blonde_girl** · 07-07-2002, 03:21 PM

How do you get so many multiples of the Sunday coupons?

What companies will send me coupons for their products?

And most important, how do you get 4 weeks worth of baby formula for $15? I'd need about 12 cans.

How do you get so many multiples of the Sunday coupons?

I have my grandma sending me her extra's, and I get some from my neighbor once in a while, I also trade, and order from coupon services.

What companies will send me coupons for their products?

Skinny cow, welch's, ocean spray, beechnut(printable), gerber, huggies, pampers, and I just know there are more..

And most important,
how do you get 4 weeks worth
of baby formula for $15?
I'd need about 12 cans.

Well if you haven't signed up
for the Carnation magazine (it is free, but i can't recal the name of the magazine) do so now,
and also try to have your family and friends sign up for you, they mail you free formula checks once a month..as the months go buy, the amount gets smaller..after they don't send you anymore you can always trade for more checks online with people who have them..oh and watch for the free formula phone number offers..and sometimes there is formula free after rebate..i saw it once at Walgreens..

You can also sign up with enfamil for some free formula, and similac does that as well..enfamil also will send you checks..but the ones I got were some lousy 1$ ones

Everyone else seemed to get better checks!

i hope this helped a little

American baby mag--get a 6 month subscription free on line--I swear they will give your info to every available mailing list, but you will get so much free baby stuff! Also check the websites of all your fave baby products--get on those mailing lists.
If you ask really nice, many shopowners will give you extra coupons sunday evening, they usually only have to send back the front page to get their credits, try calling bagel shops just before they close.
Good luck!

I buy the double paper.Here it is just .50 more than one paper.Also from time to time I have been known to dumpster dive in the recycling bins.What I do is take my papers to be recycled and put them in section by section and bring back some coupon inserts on the way back to the car

Thanks, It's Very Best Baby or something like that. I get American Baby too. I tried to convince my 7 sils to sign up for the mag and call for the free formula, but none of them have yet. I haven't recieved any Similac or Enfamil checks lately. Gracie had such a problem with constipation on the Similac, I didn't really want to try anything else, but now that she's getting cereal and veggies she will probably be OK. (I still have some Karo syrup left just in case) CGS checks are very popular and hard to trade for. I've been doing awesome at trading other coupons though, after a slow start. I think I'll try to get on more mailing lists, and maybe sign up my dh too!

Dh is going to ask the secretary at work to pull out the Walgreens and Baker's (Kroger's) ads out of the paper for me. They don't include them here in BFE. We just got back from the store. I'm going to post what I got, I'm pretty pleased.

Thanks again for the ideas.

Another idea, is to watch Target's clearance, at least at my store right now they are clearancing the old brand..the last I checked a 16oz can was down to 5$ but I'm crossing my fingers it'll get lower before they are all sold out..I'm hoping they'll get down to around 3$ at least, I'd even pay 4$ since they have more than the CGS cans do..

That's too bad that that your family won't sign up for you

I would have my mom and grandma sign up but I don't know if it'd work since they have a P.O. Box..

I have just been really lucky finding people having RAOK's giving away coupons for free formula etc..

Oh another idea is to join a sharing group, or maybe find people who you know are breastfeeding and ask if they will sign up and give you their checks...that's the way I've been getting more checks lately is on some other boards I post on there have been "up for grabs" posts and they just send them for free

They will send to a PO Box. Some people, like me, don't have door to door mail delivery in their towns. Sometimes I have to give my street address and my box number.

I usually try to go to the Grocery Store on Monday Mornings and they will give me the Coupon Inserts from the Sunday Paper because the Coupon Inserts where we live will just be thrown away if no one wants them!! The New Paper Company comes and picks up the Papers and Recycles them but they just throw away the Coupon Inserts as well as the Sales adds!!
I hope this helps you out!!
