I recently read an article that shows that it doesn’t really matter what brand of formula you buy – all formula is subject to the same exactly standards of the FDA, so why not buy the cheapest kind? Walmart’s store brand formula
is called Parents Choice Formula. This brand is also sold at other retailers like Sam’s Club, Target, CVS, and several other places. Parent’s Choice Formula is currently on sale at Walmart – a 15.5 oz. can is only $5.00! They even have a special formula for babies with sensitive tummies and that’s on sale for $5.00 too!
I think this information is especially important to know right now, because the article I read stated that there are changes being made in the Women, Infants, and Children program (known as WIC). As of this month, the money given to families is being reallocated and could mean a reduction of up to 20% in infant-formula subsidies. This is scary knowing how many parents rely on the help from WIC to feed their babies. Knowing that there’s an inexpensive option at Walmart could be very important to these families.

Hi...the article you read was absolutely right. We've done pretty much all the research you can on this. FDA rules are the key. So why is it that some companies charge you twice as much? Because they can! It's unconscionable and I would recommend that others who feel the same way should take a stand on it by buying the store brands and saving $600 per year!
