I am signed up for the Similac coupon mailings ($15 off, then a few $5 off) and I think I get those each month, I've not been keeping track... Faith is starting to take more formula and nurse less and I'm looking for ways to save more money because this stuff is expensive. I'm hesitant to change the type of formula (Similac Pro-Advance) because other than a few sample bottles she has been on this since she was born. The sample bottles haven't seemed to bother her so I may be worrying over nothing, but I'd rather not mess with what is working.
Do you know of any reliable way of getting Similac coupons, especially the higher dollar ones?

Nope. I signed up awhile ago and haven’t gotten anything from similac at all. You can try maybe a Facebook coupon swap group or something like that. I don’t have Facebook so I don’t know exactly how that works.
You can also ask your pediatricians office if they have coupons. I have gotten a few that way. I will say that I switch between similac advance and the pro-advance with no issues. Sometimes the store is out of the regular advance so I have to get the pro-advance one. 🤷🏻♀️

No advice on the coupons, but I have heard that the generic Kirkland formula at Costco is most similar to similac. It is only available in a powder format, but it is a huge container for a decent price. They also appear to sell similac in the US, but nor Canada. m.costco.com/formula-feeding.html |

We use Similac. I always look for deals to purchase it.
Right now Target has a coupon for a 20 dollar gift card with a 100 dollar purchase of select baby items (formula is included).
I also have had people give me their coupons if they aren’t using them

Sometimes the store is out of the regular advance so I have to get the pro-advance one. 🤷🏻♀️ My regular store is the opposite, they are sometimes out of the Pro-Advance... I try to keep one extra full canister in the house so it isn't an emergency situation of OMG NEED IT NOW so if my store is out I just wait until the next trip. I did have to do a regular Advance in the premade formula, I like those bottles when we go to the grandparents for the weekend. It is really convenient to just shake and pour instead of measuring water and scooping formula. I did the math last night and when I have a $5 off coupon I can get a 32 fl oz bottle of premade formula for $3.50. That makes it $0.44 per 4 oz bottle which isn't bad at all. Right now it is on sale so with my coupons it was $2.50 and $0.31 per 4 oz bottle. I have one more $5 coupon that expires on Saturday so I'm going to go get another bottle of premade. |

I also have had people give me their coupons if they aren’t using them Meijer is running a special that if you spend $40 in formula you get $15 off of your next shopping trip. I try to take advantage of those types of sales when they are available. |

I also have had people give me their coupons if they aren’t using them We also do this - take advantage of the Target deals. Also, if you have Sam's they sell it and it's about the same as the deal price at Target with free delivery. Sometimes people post free coupons or samples on our local bst facebook pages or local facebook mom groups. I get coupons every few months. Usually there is one for $5 and one for $15. Oh and we use the same as you. Similac pro advance. |

I know they are much harder to come by then the enfamil ones. I have a friend who uses alimnetum so I’m always trying to get them for her. My best luck has been local moms groups.

kbw my first daughter was on alimentum. Since it is considered an allergy formula she may be able to get it covered under her medical insurance. My Peds completed a form they had and it was approved. Once we met our deductible then it was only $50 for 15 cans from the Pharmacy as a script from the Peds.

I may gamble and get the Kirkland and see if it agrees with her or not. |

I may gamble and get the Kirkland and see if it agrees with her or not. When we transitioned from the brand name to the generic formula, we mixed it half and half for a few bottles. The public health nurse suggested it, in case there were minor differences in the texture. We're now doing the same thing to try adding lactose back in. |
