I’ve always been into using coupons, discount codes, shopping the clearance section, etc. I like budgeting and I try hard to spend less that we make, save for rainy days, have no debt. For years, Andrew and I have talked about improving our food storage. “Food storage” to me (at least at this point) is like the everyday things we eat and use. Not things like wheat...because that's way to overwhelming. Besides still living in our condo and not having much room to store things, I’ve always been so overwhelmed with where do I start?
I finally decided to start with baby items because it’s fun to buy anything for the baby right now and I also came across and UNREAL deal how to get formula to next to nothing…..literally.
So after researching a bunch of stuff, I’ve become somewhat of a crazy coupon lady. (Like the ladies on Extreme Couponing on TLC are a 10 and I’m a 3). But I can’t believe how much money we waste on things! It’s a process and I’m still learning more but I’m proud to say that our baby storage freaking rocks and our personal food storage is off to a good start with no budget increases for us.
These are some of my favorite baby deals:
Similac Formula: Spent under $70—Retail Value of $475+
Diapers and Wipes: Yeah, there is a lot. There's much more than you see in this pic. I get diapers anywhere from 25-75% off.
This is a little look at some of our stash. I've also started getting a bunch of free formula from Enfamil and Good Start. So if you use either of those brands....let me know. I may have a gift for you. Otherwise, I'm going to be taking a trip to the women's shelter to donate some formula.

How are you getting such good deals on Similac? I need to know! Same with diapers?
I want to learn how to coupon. I want to be a crazy coupon lady. teach me!!
Way to go Britt. I like the idea of coupon shopping, but I suck at it! I say I'm going to and then I don't. TEACH ME!!! And I'm with you on the food storage...wheat is overwhelming and I don't think it would do me any good to have it because I wouldn't know what to do with it!
Seriously I NEED to be better at this! I think this is awesome! Way to inspire me!
Hey, my friend Tiffany is on that Extreme Couponing show! We used to share deals w/each other...
yesshare the secrets!! formula and diapers are so expensive!
You go girl!!! GOOD JOB. I'm jealous. Teach me. Sheesh. We spend a fortune on diapers & wipes.
Brit I think you need to make a post about how you get all these deals and where because I'm feeling like a slacker and the only couponing I know how to do is the once a month booklet that comes from costco. I would LOVE knowing how to get baby stuff cheap.
