Hey Guys!
Regardless of what your income is, if you can save money when you're pregnant I'll guarantee you'll take it. A lot of companies and stores want to send new mom/expecting mom's products, to help you out/introduce you to new products. A lot of these programs will continue until your child is 1 years old! which is such an added benefit, because the first year is so expensive, and there is a lot of unexpected expenses.
Similac
When I first enrolled in this program, I wasn't planning on feeding Kayden formula. But some unexpected events occurred in our life which forced me to turn to formula, and I was so thankful I had signed up.
Upon enrolling in this program you do have to enter some personal information about your baby such as DOB, gender etc. They will send you a care package with 2 sample size tubs of formula, I got one regular and one for gentle stomachs, some rebate checks ( coupons) for formula and periodically you will get some info pamphlets on your child's development.
Unfortunately Kayden was sensitive to thei rpowder formula, which meant I couldn't use to checks for it. But luckily you save $5 on any of their products, so I would buy ready to use formula, which I used when I was out with Kayden. I also received a phone call shortly after Kayden was born from them, to see if we liked their products and if they could help recommend anything for him. I really appreciated that, after your baby is born there may be some issues they are having, and they can help you find the right product.
You will get $5 coupons almost every month, which came in handy! And they sent a sample pack of Infant cereal, once Kayden started solids.
Similac formula is affordable, and the $5 coupons make it easier on your wallet. I know a mom who uses Similac, and they loved how handy the coupons are.

Nestle
This care package was my favorite. They took a lot of the basics you need as a new mom and gave them all to you. Just a heads up, if you aren't home when they deliver this, they are the only company which required me to go to the post office because of the price value. They have changed what they offer int heir parcel, but I'll let you know what I received.
I got a diaper bag, which looked like a backpack. I never used it, only because I had 2 diaper bags already. I received a small pack of huggies diapers, pack of 28. I took this pack to the hospital, and it honestly was a lifesaver. I was in the hospital for 3 days because I had a c section, and this small pack came in handy. It was easy to store away in the hospital bag, and was compact. We also prefer huggies for Kayden, so it was a win win. We also got ready to use formula, which worked great on Kayden because he was able to drink the ready to use one's. We got a full size Nuk baby bottle, which my boyfriend couldn't stand but I loved it. I do believe we got coupons as well, but I can't remember.
Like similac you will get pamphlets in the mail about your child's development but not as often. I did find their pamphlets educational and I learned a lot. Kayden used Nestle Good start Formula, the only downside about their coupons, was we weren't able to use it for that specific formula. Once Kayden started solids, they did send a sample size of Infant cereal which lasted 2-3 days and some coupons!I also received emails periodically from them as well, about products you can try with your kids and some tips and tricks.

V.I.B Program
This program is available in Canada with Shoppers Drug mart. If you don't live in Canada, check your local pharmacy, I'm sure they have some sort of baby program you can enroll in. We got a lot with this box as well, but it was more geared if you shop at Shopper's drug mart, which I don't do as much. They sent a coupon box, where you can get bonus Optimum points. It included diapers, lotion, diaper rash cream, medicine etc. I wasn't able to utilize these bonus points as much as I would've liked to. They sent a bib for Kayden, which was so adorable, it was green, ( which is an odd color) but it said V.I.B. baby which we were in love with, but lost! I got a sample of Johnson & Johnson breast pads. I got a sample of Huggies diaper's, and then got a coupon for $5 off any pack. I got some sample size of baby body wash, lotion etc. This wasn't my favorite pack as I mentioned before because of the coupons,but if you do shop there then you should enroll in this. After that initial pack I didn't receive anything, keep in mind this pack took awhile for me to get this, it was months after, and I had completely forgotten about it. You do get emails, but I didn't find them beneficial at all.
