Frugal Feeding Tips for Babies and Toddlers

August 26, 2008 by Tara Kuczykowski 42 Comments

When it comes to baby and toddler foods (among many others), manufacturers try to fool us into thinking that convenience trumps price. Don’t fall for this, ladies and gents! You can still totally have the convenience factor while saving some cash in the process.

In my first-ever vlog, I’m demonstrating with three different products just why you should pay attention to the price per oz. (or comparable measurement) on the “convenience” foods versus more traditional packages. Yes, I forced myself to be unfrugal all in the name of teaching my readers to save money! You can all thank me later . . .



So maybe those weren’t the most earth-shattering tips, but I’m willing to bet I have at least a few readers that are guilty of picking convenience over price without stopping to consider just what the bottom line is. Small savings like this can really add up!

And before I go, there’s one last thing I wanted to mention that I forgot to tell you all in the video – hey, this is harder than it looks! Anyhow, make sure to buy the fruit that’s packed in fruit juice. Babies are sweet enough without any extra added sugar!!!

So what are your best moneysaving tips on baby and toddler foods?

    Nice job on your first vlog! It is a timely tip for me, and I am thrilled to learn that stage 1 and stage 2 are the same. We are making most of our baby food, but I love to buy the Gerber organic also–it is easier when we are on the go!

    Thanks, Drea! I got it at Meijer, but I’ve seen them other places as well. It certainly makes them convenient and easy to access!
