Can you recommend a formula?

My son is not picky at all... he will eat cold, room temperature, or warm bottle. He has been eating the Sam's Club brand formula, but our membership expired and we aren't renewing it. Money is tight, can you recommend a formula that your LO loves but is easy on your bank account? Or any that you can say are not good?

I would suggest either Walmart or Target brand.  I also use the Sam's Club formula and if I were to switch it would be to another store brand. It's much easier on the bank account.

We use the target version of Similac Advanced.  You don't get a big a container but it is only $13 a can instead of $24 for the name brand.  We have only ever used the store brand.  I only use the name brand when I get it for free.

Truthfully, I'd pick the store that's easiest for you to get to if you have no other preference.  We used Target and will again.

Sams Club and Walmart are owned by the same company, so I would think that the Walmart brand would be the same stuff as the Sams brand, just sold with a different label.

You can actually buy anything at Sam's online, just have to pay a little more without a membership.  Might still be cheaper than switching to another store brand...

I use Enfamil, but we qualify for WIC and that helps a ton.

I like the CVS brand of Similac Sensitiveless bubbles and mixs well. I tried the Walmart brand and it was more bubbly and clumpy. I have heard good reviews of Target formula.

You can also still buy things in the store but it's a 10% surcharge.  This may not be at every store though, but all of the ones around here (where Sams and Walmart started) let you do this.  It's still much cheaper than name brand.  Just wondering why you aren't renewing if you still use the formula and it's much cheaper there?
