How to Save Money on Baby

Register With Companies To Save Money:

I figured this one out due to my wife registering with a couple of companies when building her nest.   It really hit home the first time she actually purchased a can of formula at $15.   Because we’d registered with Babies R Us we had hit a couple of mailing lists and in the months leading up to our daughter’s birth we got a few things in the mail.   Here’s what we got:

  • 4 free cans of Enfamil
  • 2 free cans of Similac
  • Diaper samples from Huggies
  • Diaper samples from Pampers
  • Several free bottles from Avent

There were several other things that came our way as well I just can’t remember.    Great coupon deals came in the mail giving discounts, large dollar amounts off.   All in all with that one simple registration we saved $100-$200 in the first six weeks on things we would’ve purchased anyway.   So I got on my computer and checked out every major manufacturer’s website for registration, mailing lists, rewards, etc.   Here are the companies I got registered with:

  • Huggies
  • Pampers
  • Enfamil
  • Similac
  • Avent
  • Gerber
  • Nestle
  • Beech-Nut
  • Babies R Us
  • Earth’s Best
  • Playtex

Six months later we’ve not got a folder full of coupons that we regularly get in the mail from many of the companies above.   Similac alone sends us around 4 $5 off coupons monthly for their products and we use them all.   We have probably saved $200 on Similac products alone.   Registering with all the baby product companies you’d even consider using is a proven way to save hundreds and probably thousands of dollars at the register.  I say probably because my wife does about 80% of the shopping without me but she regularly declares I save $10, $20 here and there.   She just keeps her folder of coupons from these registrations and when she goes to a store she flips through and finds something that’ll help.

You’ll also get updates via email registrations on deals and sales.   Just this week we got an email about a huge pampers sale at Target.   Saved about $10 on diapers there.   Every bit helps trust me these little bundles of joy are expensive!
