The first moment that I realized I was really a MOM, was the day that the husband went back to work. I was alone….just me and wee wittle man.
The time came for a diapee change. Off comes the diaper, and before I could get the other one on — the phone rings and then….
……….he poooooops. One of the “explosive” ones too. Ugh. The only thing I had handy to shield myself with, WAS my hand. As I answer the phone, with baby poo on my hand — I sobbed. It was my mom. She asked, “Why are you crying?” and I replied with….“he just pooped on my hand!” — I then hear honking laughter on the other end of the line.
{Thanks MOM! Yeah…I know. You’ve been there before!}
Because I was a new mom, I was very picky about the formula. I breastfed for the first few weeks, but then to save my sanity — I began using formula. We used an expensive brand of formula that costed us a pretty penny each month. Gaahhh! If I had all that money now, I could go on 3 vacations! If I had known then about the SIMPLY RIGHT™ Infant Formula from Sam’s Club, I would have totally switched!
They have 3 different varieties to suit each itty bitty baby. Whether you use the Baby Care Gentle®, Baby Care Complete®, or Baby Care Sensitivity® SIMPLY RIGHT™ Infant Formula – each provide the best nutrients and nummies for your baby. Clinically proven to support growth and development, now with Lutein for brain and eye health.
Check out the scoop and leveler!
(This will totally make those 3am feedings seem a little less dazed and confused!)
I got a little nosey and decided to see just how much money I could have saved by using the savings calculator online at Sam’s Club. I compared the cost of the formula we used vs. the cost of the SIMPLY RIGHT™ brand and I then got a little cranky! Geeze O’ Pete!!!! I would have saved over $600 in a YEAR! Break that down and it’s a whopping $50 bill each and every month! How much would YOU be saving?

What a sweet baby! I hadn’t heard of that formula before. I’ll have to remember to tell my pregnant friends about this!!
I will have to let my friends and family with new babies on the way know about this formula.
I wish I had known about this back when I was formula feeding. I would have loved to save some money!
Wow, that’s a big savings. But quite honestly, breast milk is free and the best for new babies.
I have tons of baby stories .. too many to remember BUT I will say that as a mom that had 2 out of 3 babies that could drink any type of formula.. I loved this formula… very inexpensive and as good as the expensive stuff.
Breast feeding didn’t work for me, either and formula is a great choice for moms who choose not to breast feed. This really is a huge savings over the name brand and obviously the quality is just as good.
I currently buy a different brand of formula, but with this kind of savings I am thinking about switching!
I like that the regulations mean that formulas must have all the same nutrients. I feel better about choosing a brand.
That’s a huge amount of savings! I never used formula. We used to joke that it was for the savings alone.
I like that it has a leveler. Huge benefit!!
Great info on formula. WWe had one of those poop in the hand moments too. lol
I am about to start using formula when we adopt our baby girl! First time for me. I love this canister. They have really thought of everything.
Formula was so hard with my 3rd child. My first 2 would take anything but my baby was so picky.
Formula was a must have when my daughter was a baby. I didn’t breastfeed and started her on it right away. I am not familiar with this brand but it sounds way more affordable than Enfamil and Similac!
This formula is awesome and saves so much money!
Yay for savings! Glad I was able to breastfeed since that sure is cheap. 😉
Love the scoop leveler! We just got off formula, I wish I would have known this!
Formula feeding can be so expensive! I like that this one is affordable.
My little girl was the blowout QUEEN! Once while we were out running errands she had 4 blowouts. The last one was at the library and I was out of clothes so she ended up just in a diaper. People probably thought I was the worst mom.
After my kids quit nursing, we still had a few months before we could switch to regular milk. My kids had no issues with the Target brand. I have never heard of this brand! Good to know- I will share it with my friends who are still into that whole making babies thing:)
A built-in scooper leveler – brilliant!
I wish I knew about this when my baby was on formula for the short time he was
We used store brand formula for a while too. I love the built in scooper!
We’re past the formula stage now thankfully. It’s great to see more affordable options becoming abailable for a necessary product.
That’s a nice savings! I like the design of the container too!
thats a great savings. We went with a lesser known brand and had great results
Wow what a price difference. Never heard of this brand before..thanks for sharing!
I wish this was around when we had our 4 babies, those are some good savings. They need to come up with something to help us save money on feeding teens because they eat everything in sight. :-).
I just love that pictures so precious. My oldest was supplemented on formula from around 6 weeks and completely on formula at 6 months but the other two were breastfed. I always liked the ones that came with the scoop. I like how you don’t have to dig for this one.
I breastfed for a year with my first and 7 months with my second and my third was on formula. We did buy the walmart brand and she is just as smart or smarter then the other two. LOL
Great savings for those that do formula! Looks much easier to use from the container too!
There’s just something about poop stories that bring us moms together 🙂 I can’t believe how expensive formula typically is! It’s great that Sam’s offers an inexpensive option with nutrition for sweet babes.
Such a precious picture of your little one. So glad there is healthy and affordable formula out there now!
Looks like a really well-made formula. I nursed for almost a year, but when we did use formula, we used Earth’s Best, which I really love.
Formula is so expensive. I know what we paid for it 10 years ago, and I can only imagine how much the cost has went up since then. Anything that gives a savings on the cost is A OK in my book!
We are way past the formula days but I’m glad to see an affordable option I will definitely share with those that I know who aren’t past those days. Thanks
That really is a significant amount of savings. It’s totally worth considering.
I used this formula with my second child. I learned from the first one how big of a savings buying our formula from Sam’s Club was!
Saving is great! Of course you have to make sure it is the right formula for your baby 🙂
Another great reason to breastfeed. You’ll save tons of money 🙂
Thanks! I will definitely keep this in mind if I ever need formula again.
Sharing this with my friends who need formula
You must know I have baby on the brain right now and I am Sams obsessed. Nice to know you can find Simply Right there. I am all about saving money.
Haven’t heard of this formula before. The scoop leveler is really cool!
Thank you!! We are expecting our first child in October and this article was REALLY helpful.
