Best Price for Jarred Baby Food?

I did a search to try to find a thread on this but came up with only organic info.

What is your stock up price for regular, jarred baby foods (i.e., Beech-Nut, Gerber)?

TIA!

I don't know if you have any Food Lions near you, but at FL my stock up price is free - .05 per jar/plastic container.

Otherwise the most I am willing to pay is .25/jar. HTH

I don't really have a stock up price- I'm still new at "extreme" couponing. So far I haven't found a good deal on baby food, so I just use the coupons I have to get it at least a little off reg price.

Somewhere between free and .25 a jar.

I have enough stocked for the next baby already from the Safeway O Organics coupons from last year.

So $0.15/jar sounds like a good price to start stocking up a bit?

DD#1 was at the baby food stage before I found couponing. I made some of her food and bought some...at full price, of course. DD#2 is only 2 months old, but with my new couponing frame of mind, I'm thinking about her future needs. I can get Beech Nut 2nd foods right now for $0.15/jar at Publix, so I was thinking I'd do a little stocking up.

Thanks for the input, all!

I have been getting beechnut 1st stage baby food for about $0.17/jar and 2nd stage for about $0.26/jar at food world. It is a good price for me, since I only have Walmart, Foodworld, and a Winndixie.

I'd stock up for that price.

DD needed a specific baby food for months (prunes for her tummy) until after she was 2 yrs. old, so I would pay any price to get them for her (often full price).

If I was stocking up in general, I'd pay a max .15 per jar too.

I wish I could pay .15 a jar...I am paying around .40 a jar and that is the best price I have been able to get, that is for beechnut stage 2. I started making his fruits since it was cheaper than jarred food, but he is ready for stage 3 and I cant see paying almost $1 per jar. Can someone point me in the right direction...I have Target, Safeway(no doubles), SaveMart, Raleys, Winco?
