Discount programs for twins, free stuff, etc

Where have you gotten things from? What companies?

I've written all the major companies (Pampers, Luvs, Huggies, Enfamil, Similac, etc....)

Thanks!

 

Make sure you sign up for the United Way/Dolly Parton Imagination Library if it's available in your area. Up to 60 free books per child.

 

Kolcraft! They have a program where damaged stuff can be sent to you for shipping. I got 2 Jeep umbrella strollers from them.

 

What a great thread idea!

I've signed up at all the diaper places, although I got 1012 diapers in varying sizes for my baby shower (that'll last what a month? Lol).

My best friend put a card in the invitation for everyone to bring a pack/box of diapers and they'd get entered to win a $50 visa gift card, everyone brought diapers and wipes!

And I've done a lot of shopping at the baby consignment stores here.

 

We have a list that I'll link when I'm at my computer of a bunch of resources that were compiled. Please add notes on your experiences within this thread and we'll get it updated.

 

Here is the list!

And Kolcraft's program is actually a community giving program (or some similar name). They rock, though! I was sent a Contours tandem stroller! All I paid was freight!

Please let me know any successes, issues, or additions relating to this list and I'll get a new one posted!

 

Oh, I was hoping to get that tandem stroller, too. I actually bought it- and now there is a recall. I still love the stroller, though, but now have to get a part to make it safe.

 

If you plan to bottle feed have your pedi give you the form for Similac Gold Program. I think that's what it's called. It's for multiples. They sent me something like 20 bottles of 32oz Ready Feed formula when the twins were born.

 

Toys R Us/Babies R Us will do a discount off the second of an item, but large items only. Second crib for instance. I bought my twins furniture from Burlington Coat Factory and they also gave me a discount on the second of each item.

 

I got a 10% discount off the second crib mattress at BRU but it was like pulling teeth. The customer service told me I could come back to customer service to get the 10% off the car seats I bought on their site but when I did they refused me. So, its in store only!

 

Thanks everyone!!

 

how do you find out about the Kolcraft program? I cannot seem to find anything

 

I called them directly. The number is 800.453.7673. They don't always do strollers- they'll tell you what they have available to give and you can choose from that. If you don't need anything they offer, call back a few weeks later and try again!

 

honestly - I signed up for EVERY website (Pampers, Huggies, Carnation and Similac) and got NOTHING - ZIP ZILCH ZERO! The only thing Carnation could do was if I sent copies of their birth certificates I'd get a free can of powdered formula...

I did get a few formula checks and a few coupons but really nothing of note...

the funny thing is friends of mine that never had kids got more coupons than I did and used to give them to me!

 

I didn't get much after doing everything either!! Mostly just coupons.

 

Talk to your pediatricians .... Mine has gotten enfamil to send us cases of formula which has been a huge help.

 

Don't get me wrong, it was a ton of work (I did send birth certs) but I got a lot of stuff.

 

I think some companies discontinued their free stuff.

 

Any updates on this?
