I am going to start doing this! I actually just blogged about it because it's annoying, but at my grocery store everytime I buy a box of bm storage bags a coupon for formula prints...

This is a great way for me to help out other moms AND cost the formula company's money.

Why did that never occur to me before?

I thought this could have been a good lactivist thing for me. I coupon a lot, and would like to help another mama. I would just like to see it help a mama that is really struggling, not bring struggle on herself by choosing not to breastfeed.

I really didn't expect to be chastized on Mothering for wanting to help out a mother that gave the breast a chance and not wanting to help mothers that didn't even try. Sad day.

you are putting an awful lot of energy into a little coupon. if it's that difficult for you to give to whomever would use it, maybe like a PP or 2 suggested, you could donate to a shelter, where they can decide who Needs it Most. Or like another PP suggested, be a coupon fairy and just leave it on a can of the formula at the store, let fate decide.

it was really no effort at all. I was just looking for ideas

I think I like the sitting it on the cans idea! As long as I keep "screw nestle" in the back of my mind I think that would make me smile a little
