How to Get Free Formula

Most formula companies are eager to get new parents’ loyalty, so they offer samples of their formula and ongoing coupons. The coupons they offer are usually of high dollar value, and they send them frequently. As a new parent on a tight budget, you can take advantage of all these offers and receive a sizable amount of formula for free. Trying several different brands will also help you decide which brand you want to purchase once you’ve used all your free formula.
