I received Store Brand Baby products and information from Perrigo Nutritionals to facilitate this post. The prize pack is being offered by them as well. All opinions are my own.
I have only recently come to realize that store brand baby food products are as nutritionally complete as national name brands. Did you know Perrigo Nutrionals makes many of the well known store brands formula and baby food products?
“Perrigo Nutritionals store brand products are as nutritionally complete as the national brands, but cost significantly less. They are sold under individual retailer brands, such as Walmart’s Parent’s Choice and Target’s Up & Up Store brand product. Moms can purchase store brand products for their baby without compromising nutrition or spending a bundle!”
So I was able to try out a bunch of products for my baby girl from these store brands: Parent’s Choice, Up & Up, Meijer, Comforts, and Cottontails.
The products we tried were Formula, Baby Food Puree Pouches, Puffs Snacks, and Yogurt Bites.
I really like the way the store brand formula containers are designed. It is very easy to open and I really like how and where the scoop sits.
- “Many moms are not aware that they can save up to 50 percent on infant formula by choosing a store brand over a national brand
- “Store Brand Formula is nutritionally comparable to the national brands, yet are typically up to half the price, and can save you about $600 a year”
- “Perrigo Nutritionals is the largest supplier of Store Brand Infant Formula and nutrition products in the world and one of only four companies recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for meeting the strict FDA requirements for safety, nutrition and quality for infant formula-manufacturing in the United States”
My baby girl absolutely LOVES all of these products!
She hasn’t acted like she could tell a difference from the store brands. She has been enjoying them all without any complaints. 
- “Same standards and expertise used to develop infant formula applied to toddler foods”
- “Toddler foods are appropriately developed for variety of stages of growth and motor skills with quality, nutritional ingredients to create foundation of good nutrition”
Not only are they at the same quality level as the name brand items, they are much cheaper. So I can save money from our family’s budget. I just love when I can find ways to do that!
I also want to share with you a great book by wife, mother, and blogger extraordinaire Crystal Paine: “Say Goodbye to Survival Mode: 9 Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Sleep More, and Restore Your Passion for Life”. It is full of advice on how to not only save, but set priorities and manage time and money. Paine’s book contains practical ideas, like purchasing store brand products, and simple solutions that will help any parent become a super saver!
Crystal Paine’s 5 Money Saving Tips for Families
Create a Budget
A budget gives you parameters and purpose, it gives you boundaries, and it gives you freedom to live creatively within those boundaries.
Shop With Cash
When you shop with a credit card (or even a debit card, for that matter!) you can have your budget in your head and you can do the best to stick with it when you check out, but it’s so much easier to go just a little bit over here and there when you’re swiping!
Plan a Menu
When you have a plan in place for what you’re supposed to be eating each meal and you’ve already purchased the ingredients for those recipes, it’s a lot harder to justify chucking the plan for takeout.
Use Coupons
Coupons are a great way to save a lot of money on your grocery bill, but they can be hard to keep up with. Clipping, sorting, and organizing coupons takes time — so enter a coupon database! You’ll have access to printable and other coupons currently available and it’s one of the most effective and efficient ways to save money on groceries.
Buy Store Brands
One way to save a great deal of money on your grocery budget is to learn to like and use a variety of brands. The sooner you can get over being a brand-snob, the more your pocketbook will thank you.
For example, while I breast fed my children, moms who choose to formula feed can save up to 50 percent by switching to store brand formula, which meets the same FDA quality standards as expensive name brands. There are also coupons available at a website – StoreBrandFormula.com (www.storebrandformula.com). This one simple change can save moms about $600 a year.
