Quote from yanx11 : those target deals sound better than what i've been doing but i don't follow target. let me know the next time you see a good enfamil sale if you don't mind. this is the one thing i have failed to stockpile. i got 2 $4 checks from enfamil but nothing as of late. I think i got most of their coupons while i was breastfeeding so they were of no use to me because i didn't know if i would ever use the formula or not. Now i'm using the formula since i gave up on pumping at work. Though I will say that was an exciting day for me!

Truthfully, I don't follow target either. I just saw the deal in the flier (thought it was good cuz they used to have $5 GC when you buy the little tubs, but this time it was a $10 GC)
and searched for IPs cuz I knew I didn't have any other coupons. They seem to do them pretty often, so I'll keep my eyes peeled and let you know

I don't know if you have noticed but the prices are going up and up and up on formula. Since I started buying it in March, it's gone up a few dollars at a few stores. Of course different stores have different prices, and the 2 closes RA's to me were also about $1 different from each other. I went into the cheaper RA the other day to grab a tub with my $8 off coupon, and it was up to $25.99! And it rang in at $26.99!! They couldn't figure out how to give me the $1 off, because the tag said what it did, and still have my 20% go through, ever time she put the price to $25.99 it would kick out my discount... after she tried a few things I just said screw it (nicely though, lol, she had just told me a customer called her a bitch cuz her ups didn't print on her receipt... people suck!) and paid the $1.59 instead of $.79 (had $12 in ups expiring). It annoys me, and I probably should have made them give me the $.80 back after, but wasn't worth fighting over.

Right now I have 9.5 refill boxes, 5 tubs and a few boxes of the single packets for traveling. Everyone told me when she started eating cereal and such the amount of formula she drank would drastically go down, but it hasn't. She has been drinking five 6oz bottles a day for a long time now, and she eats cereal & fruit or cereal & veggi twice a day too. I may have enough to last me, but who knows. If I have too much, I can probably sell it on the bay or something.

Congrats on less stress at work

Quote from sandydeal : I missed the Target deal last week. I have been buying it from BJs, my DD2 still drinks enfagrow, sometimes I mix some whole milk with it, but I can't put more than 1/3, she will know and refuse to drink it... I don't know what I am going to do, the doctor keeps telling me switch it over to reg milk, but she won't even touch milk..my parents keeps saying let her have formula, in China kids drink formula till 3-4yr old. But OAN, I just successfully potty trained her, she just turned 2 in July, and it only took me one week to train her, still let her wear diaper at night, but mostly she can hold it till the morning time...

Awesome on the potty training!! That's young!

I say if she drinks it, let her. I'm no doctor, but at least you're giving her something with nutrients in it, these days there is so much garbage out there. could be worse!

Quote from purplefdu : Alright ladies, where is my best bet to get affordable but not cheaply made onsies in red, without embellishments? Need two for gifts for coworkers....I believe both girls. So going to embroider "future team member" and the bullseye on the front and sew ruffles on the butt. Running out of time so hoping to get them this weekend. Suggestions? ...

I don't think your store or WM would have them solid without embellishments... I'd try maybe The Children's Place, or Osh-Gosh (sp?) I know there is a Children's in Kittery and I think Osh too. It's tough to find them regular solid with nothing on them these days. I may second the buying white and dying. If you want good quality and not underwear type quality I wouldn't get the white Gerber one's though, they're very thin. Good luck!
