Formula for Twins
Okay i have to go every weekend to the Babies R Us (which is not very close to us) to pick up formula. Not that i mind that, but I am only allowed to get three boxes which last me just about a week. It just makes me  that i can't get 6 since i have twins. At least then we could go every 2 weeks. And if i don't go early enough on the weekend days they are out of stock. It's sooooo frustrating!!!

Re: Formula for Twins

Enfamil A.R. They are apprx 5.80 each in the case but 6.35 at CVS. Plus you have to get the cans one by one at CVS, the boxes make it easier.

Re: Formula for Twins
Have you told them you have twins, I thought they limitied the amount for one baby but you could get double for two.

Re: Formula for Twins
I used to get 3 cases, put them in the car, go back in and get 3 more at a different register.

Re: Formula for Twins
I don't have twins...but I have never been limited to the amount of cases I buy. I usually get 5 cases for the month...never was given a problem.

Re: Formula for Twins
DH and I just went the other day and bought 7 cases... no problem. I'm sure that if you spoke to the mgr. you could explain your special circumstances.

Special form or prescription? When my boys were first born they had a script for preemie formula. I never got a form for the regular stuff.

Re: Formula for Twins
The Babies R Us in Westbury limits the cases of formula you can get to three per person.
I never thought of going in and then coming back in again. That might work.
I did ask the manager about the twins part and he said there was nothing he could do about the limit because they have problems keeping the shelves stocked.

Or if someone can go with you, you can each get 3.

Go to Buy Buy Baby. It's cheaper there and the people who work their are so much friendlier. I hate BRU , especially since they make you show ID for coupons.

The check ID? Wow... Maybe the BRU by me is a little bit easier to work with... I've never had an issue.

The one in Bohemia always checks...even when I get a coupon from enfamil that doesnt have any name on it, they still check for ID

Re: Formula for Twins
Ali that is BS, IMO, I would ask to speak to someone else. You should not be limited to 3 when you have twins while someone else can get 3 with one baby.
I never had an issue at the BRU by me with getting more, but I mainly bought at Costco.

I've never had a problem using coupons anywhere - BBB or BRU.

The BRU in Westbury checks ID for coupons. Once I sent my sister w/my credit card and coupon to pick up formula for me.
They would not let her use it since her ID did not match the name on the coupon. This just started about a month ago.
