Freebies, Perks and Samples for Babies and New Moms

When you are expecting a new baby, be on the lookout, goodies are everywhere! Here is a list of some references for some freebies,perks, samples and discounts I have found, and many I have used. Please keep in mind these perks are subject to change at the Vendors discretion. Review vendors websites for specific details and updated information. Last updated Jan 19, 2017.

Free Formula Samples

When it comes time to feeding your little one, you can choose to nurse, supplement, or formula feed. If you do find yourself supplementing or formula feeding there are lots of options out there. Choosing a formula will depend on your baby’s preferences and digestion system. Once you find a formula that works you will most likely stick with it. Formula companies are aware of this loyalty so they offer wonderful incentives for your business.

One of these incentives is something called a vendor check. They send you checks in the mail that are good towards the purchase of formula, often $5.00 but sometimes up to $15.00. These will come in handy. You can usually pair these vendor checks with other deals, such as Babies R’ US specials. For instance, if Enfamil is on sale for $10.00 off for two boxes, this in most cases can be paired with vendor checks. Babies R’ Us also started allowing 10% off on baby formula & diapers in-stores on Thursday, when using your Babies R’ US credit card.

While these numbers can change anytime, here’s an example of potential savings: $36.99(Price per box) x 2 =$73.98 – $10.00 off 2 boxes(sales promotion) = $63.98 -$ 6.39(10% on Thursdays with Babies R’ Us Credit Card)= $57.59 – $10.00 (for two $5.00 vendor checks). = $47.59 + Tax. This would be about $26.39 in total savings. This example does not include Babies R’ Us rewards points you can earn and roll over for additional savings on future trips.

Baby Registry Freebies

As an expecting mom one of the questions you may ask yourself is, “Where do I register?” The good news is there are lots of places to register. The even better news, businesses that offer baby registries have lots of perks and freebies for expecting moms to sign up through them. Rightfully so, your little bundle is doing right by the economy and you are guaranteeing them some generous sales (crib, diapers, feeding, bathing, clothes, etc.). In some cases this could be thousands of dollars. Check out some of the perks you qualify when you sign up to register.

Babies R’ Us offers lots of perks including 10% back with Endless Earnings. Meaning you will receive a check after your baby is born that totals 10% of what people spent on things on your registry. If people bought $2000.00 worth of stuff off of your registry, you would receive a check for $200.00 to spend at Babies R’ Us. In addition, you are also eligible for a 10% discount on items on your registery that were not purchased. Get all of the details and specifics here.
