Manufacturer's discounts on baby food and formula are a great way to save money. Companies such as Gerber, Beech-Nut, Enfamil and Similac offer coupons, promotions and giveaways for their food and formula products if you register on their Web sites.

Many supermarkets have their own money-saving baby clubs. For example, Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. in the Southeastern U.S. has a baby club that gives $10 back for every 200 points earned on purchased baby items, as well as coupons for free products and special offers in the mail.

In addition, stores sell their own brand of formula which can save you money. "All of the formula has the exact same ingredients as specified by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)," Gordon says.
