When you are expecting a new baby, be on the lookout, goodies are everywhere! Here is a list of some references for some freebies,perks, samples and discounts we have found. Please keep in mind these perks are subject to change at the Vendors discretion. Review vendors websites for specific details and updated information.

Feeding Freebies

When it comes time to feeding your little one, you can choose to nurse, supplement, or formula feed.   If you do find yourself   supplementing or formula feeding there are lots of options out there. Choosing a formula will depend on your baby’s preferences and digestion system. Once you find a formula that works you will most likely stick with it. Formula companies are aware of this loyalty so they offer wonderful incentives for your business.

One of these incentives is something called a vendor check. They send you checks in the mail that are good towards the purchase of formula, often $5.00 but sometimes up to $15.00. These will come in handy. You can usually pair these vendor checks with other deals, such as Babies R’ US specials. For instance, if Enfamil  is on sale for  $10.00 off for two boxes, this in most cases can be paired with vendor checks. Babies R’ Us also started allowing 10% off on baby formula & diapers in-stores on Thursday, when using your Babies R’ US credit card.

While these numbers can change anytime, here’s an example of potential savings: $36.99(Price per box)  x 2 =$73.98 – $10.00 off 2 boxes(sales promotion) = $63.98 -$ 6.39(10% on Thursdays with Babies R’ Us Credit Card)= $57.59 – $10.00 (for two $5.00 vendor checks). = $47.59 + Tax. This would be about $26.39 in total  savings.  This example does not include Babies R’ Us rewards points you can earn and roll over for additional savings on future trips.
