Does anyone know a web site to find coupons for baby stuff, mainly food?

I don't know of a specific one but I have discovered that baby companies are VERY generous with coupons. If you use formula you can get coupons pretty much every month form the formula folks - (1 to 8 to 11 bucks off) Diapers, well I'm partial to the quality in Huggies and coupons are pretty abundant for them which makes them an even better deal. For jarred food, send Gerber and Beechnut an email, or sign up for any mailings they might have. Beechnut is not on as many shelves but you can go to their site and see if a store near you carries it - it generally runs a dollar cheaper than the Gerber stuff. Both have programs from time to time to send in proofs of purchase and get coupons off in the mail...kinda like a rebate but with coupons.





All that said, if you really want to save cash, seriously, make your own food. It is not nearly as intimidating as it sounds - you just steam whatever you are going to feed him/her and then pulverize it until smooth in a blender. As they get older, you can make it lumpier so they can better handle textures. Once I pureed my first batch of steamed peaches, I was hooked bcz he gobbled them up - my guy seldom turns his nose up at a first offering (avocado and potato aside) ...he might do so at a 2nd or 3d offering though (go figure). Give it a go - you can make a batch of stuff to last you for a day or two or plenty and freeze it. There are all sorts of books out there to guide you on it but they are all pretty basic and most baby websites (parents.com, babycenter.com, etc)offer the basic info for you to be successful.





Either way, hope that helps!Does anyone know a web site to find coupons for baby stuff, mainly food?
Nope, however making your own baby food saves tons of money. Well not tons but some. All you need is a blender. Things like green beans, carrots and sweet peas you can buy frozen in a bag. Check out this site...
