Bryden PI is the distributor for Enfamil, you checked them?

I used to buy Enfamil powdered formula by the case from them initially in San Juan and then last year in Macoya where the new warehouse for PI is.

One of the best days of my life was when my little ones got too old for Enfamil. Real dollars spent.

Forget Enfagrow after 1 years, it was/is Klim for it.

True dat, was 6-8 tins at a time in PriceSmart. Along with the Pampers diapers and wipes, was a small fortune even then (8-10 years ago).

Still on that train..lol. But Pampers is once a month or so, according to the size of the box you buy. Enfamil, on the other hand, is an every week thing yes..

Formula hurt me more than pampers.
At peak we were using 1 box of Enfamil (two satchets per box) every two weeks at around $190 a box.
A box of diapers lasted a month and didn't cost more than $190

One box gave you two weeks? Every week, give or take a day, I was in PriceSmart buying a box of the same Enfamil at $202.00 until they raised it around $213.00. Next time around (once I get permission, because wifey says the next one is on her terms :lol: ), I'll definitely do some more research on buying the cases. Where did you get yours for $190.00 though? I just stuck with PriceSmart because there was only about a $30.00 difference between Brydens and PriceSmart when I last asked.

My son was born in 2016 and in that calendar year Enfamil went up 4 times. I initially used to buy in Pennywise because we never needed much due to breast feeding. I started off paying $180 which moved to $190 then to $194 or so.
I stopped buying at the $194 price in Pennywise and started buying the cases in Bryden where because of my cousin I got staff discount and it worked out to around $179.99 a box at which time Pennywise and Pricesmart were in the mid $190s still.
This is the price when I last bought Enfamil so not sure what the price is now given the volatility of formula prices.

I did Enfagrow for a few cases then switched to Arla which even cheaper than KLIM. The Arla was recommended by the District Health Centre as a reasonable alternative.

^ Bryden doesn't have the Gentle ease in the pouches (the foil ones) ? It works out much less than the tins per gram.

Yes they do but I don't like them foil packs and to have a container to store it... personal preference for the tins...

Scene. There is a packaging option that was a hard plastic container which held one of the foil packs (I think Pricesmart used to stock this, never saw it anywhere else). The cover had a scoop holder to the inside. We bought one of that initially and just used the container thereafter for the replacement pouches. We would just wash it every so often to maintain some sense of cleanliness.

But I understand the preference thing.

I had one of those from Pricemart for my first child and one day ants attacked it because it's not a complete seal. that's why I prefer tins.

The only branch that accommodates “walk in customers” is in Macoya. Just tell the security you going to purchase.

whats the advantage of using those gentlease /lactose reduced/free types?

could it not do more harm than good later on as the child grows and creating lactose sensitive kids/adults

What's the cost like at brydens per case of enfamil? How does it come? Small tin, big tin, the reusable plastic container? I usually buy the 2pk box refill for $210 at my supermarket!
