With the average family spending $1,500 on formula alone in the first year of their baby’s life, it’s easy to see why having a child is such a huge financial commitment! But by shopping online for essential baby items such as diapers, wipes and formula, you could make significant savings and still have enough money left for that family weekend away.
Diapers
Buying diapers online is a good move if you’re looking to save money. Be careful though, whilst ordering in bulk will save you money in the long run, don’t order too many of the same size diapers for your little one. They’ll soon grow out of them and you could be left with hundreds of un-usable diapers sitting around the house.
Wipes
Wipes are another baby essential that can be expensive in your local grocery store. Most wipes are simply impregnated with lotion that cares for your baby’s skin, so they shouldn’t cost the earth! It’s possible to find store and generic brand wipes on the shelves of your local Walmart, or why not order online in bulk for even greater savings – after all, you know that you will need a mountain of wipes over the next year!
Formula
Buying baby formula online is easy, with so many store brand and leading name-brand manufacturers offering special discounts and free delivery on their websites. Whilst you could order wholesale baby formula from some websites, it might be worth requesting samples from leading brands to see what kind of formula is best for your baby before purchasing in bulk. If you opt for a store brand formula, you can often receive money off by registering as a new customer on the company’s website, or signing up to their mailing list, where you will often receive emails with special offers. Many websites also offer a sweepstake where you can enter to win a few month’s to a year’s supply of formula for your baby! Buying wholesale baby formula is easy online – just search on Google or ask friends and family for recommendations – more and more families are buying their baby formula in bulk nowadays for significant savings.
Go Organic
It’s even possible to buy special formula such as soy or added rice formula and even organic formula online in bulk. Wholesale baby formula websites offer a range of formula to suit the needs of all children, and when you consider that the average baby consumes 28 ounces of formula a day, you should try to save as much money as you can during the first (expensive) year of your child’s life! Organic formulas are often expensive to buy in your local store, or may only be available in small ready-to-feed bottles, bumping up the cost even more. By buying in bulk online, even organic baby formula can be affordable to those on a tight budget.
Buy your baby formula online to watch the savings add up – but make sure you don’t buy more than your baby needs, as formula could expire and go to waste.
Walmart’s exclusive brand Parent’s Choice Formula was introduced in 1998, and is one of the leading baby formula brands in the USA today. The brand also offers a range of infant food including toddler formula, organic soy formula, pediatric nutritional beverages and snacks including cereal bars and yogurt bites. Nutritionally comparable to leading brands, Parent’s Choice Formula meets FDA standards and could save parents $600 a year compared to purchasing name-brand formula, with prices comparable to wholesale baby formula stockists.
