In a household with a baby, part of the monthly spend is fixed: formula and jars do not shrink because the budget is tight. A discount on that part lands directly in the monthly total, which is different from a saving on something bought once in a while.
What you need to know
With a child still on formula and puree, half of the monthly shopping list is not really open to change.
Fixed spending cannot be squeezed by buying less, so the only lever is stocking up while there is a discount, and shelf life plus cupboard space set the limit on that.
Two items here sit in that fixed block, and the third is the adult half of the same trip.
- Alle Nutrilon 800 g at € 27,99: the hardest line in the monthly total to reduce, and an unopened tin keeps a long time, so one extra now is one item fewer on next month's list.
- Alle Texels of Affligem multipacks with 25% korting: this one shows a discount percentage and no price, so the amount is whatever the shelf says; a multipack sits in the cupboard and removes the single-bottle trip.
- Alle Olvarit potten 1.5 - 1.79 at € 0,99 with 1+1 gratis: jars keep at room temperature, and a buy-one-get-one covers both days out and the evenings when cooking does not happen.
The saving on fixed spending is never large in one go, but it returns every month, which adds up more reliably than an occasional big discount.
Infant food is graded by age in months, so check the tin before buying, and prices and offers follow the store.
