Nestle Good Start Question

swtbbyangel · #1 December 29th, 2006, 01:15 PM

Is there anywhere that you can use more than one of the coupons at once?

For example:
$8 and $1

I find it quite ridiculous using a $1.00 coupon, yes you save but it's like they don't even want you to..

I used those checks several times and I believe they say on them that you can't use more than one per purchase. I never tried to use two because I figured the second just wouldn't go in anyway. I had so much trouble with those checks that I didn't want to hold up the line any longer than I had to. And I agree that it's stupid they give you the $1 ones. Sure it's a dollar off but it certainly pales in comparison to the big ones. Also, when I tried to use the $1 one once, it wouldn't work. And the lady at customer service at Walmart said the $1 ones never worked for anyone there. I ended up just throwing them out.

Well I'll gladly take the $1.00 ones you don't use. That's if you don't mind though. They've worked for me but I just find it ridiculous still.

Another question...How often do they send you the checks? Is it once every month up till the baby is a year old?

I've only gotten them once a month up until my son was 3 months and after that I've never received any until recently. He is now 9 months. Why is this?

I don't get them as frequently as I used to. When I first signed up, I was getting them every few weeks for a couple months. Since then, they send them maybe once a month. I remember that the last time was when Alisha was 3 1/2 months old because they always send a booklet of info tailored to your baby's current age. Well, that was over a month ago and none so far this month. And the amounts are alot less too-- usually $1 & $2 only now.

I don't know why they haven't sent them to you consistently. There are some other people on JM who've had a hard time getting anything from Goodstart. For some reason, I've never had a problem.

I've had a real hard time. I had to call and tell them to get the booklets. The representatives are like " I don't know why you haven't gotten anything" as if I was lying. I could be wrong, but I disliked their tone of voice.

I tried to search for topics but the search isn't exactly working for me. It may be cuz I'm a newbie?

Which search are you trying? They have the regular search or the search in the category called "my assistant".

swtbbyangel · #7 December 29th, 2006, 04:07 PM

The regular search, I think. Next to Members

If you use keywords for the advanced search, you should get a pretty good result. What exactly are you looking for?

swtbbyangel · #9 December 29th, 2006, 04:18 PM

Oh nevermind, it was because I didn't have 10 posts yet.

I'm searching for other Nestle Good Start topics.

Thanks so much for your help! You've been very helpful!!

Good, I'm glad it works for you now. And you're welcome!

I use the $1 off coupons for either the smaller can of formula or the cans of either ready to feed or the liquid that you just add water to.

I've sold them on Ebay.

People go crazy for fomrula checks on there.

I get larger checks - $11 off and $8 off from Similac and Emfamil. I use those a lot.

The Good start ones, I would just use to buy smaller bottles of formula - ready made- so that it made the biggest difference in price per ounce.

My SIL sent me some and I used the $5 and got rid of the rest. On the Good Start checks, they are restrictive to certain size cans which stinks.

Is it true you can get coupons for any formula from the local newspaper?

I've never come across any formula coupons in newspapers. The only way I know of is to sign up for programs from the manufacturers online.

I was sent some Similac $3 off coupons that came from a Boston area newspaper. (my best friend's sister lives there). I only got those once and have never, ever seen them in my area.

I heard that you could get them every now and then but I don't know if all states are doing that.

I was thinking to get the newspaper...but I can't exactly afford that to just "try" and find out.

Has anyone ever been able to use more than one check at a time for one purchase and if so, where?
