    For the brands like Aptamil, Cow & Gate, does anyone know where in Ireland I can purchase cheaper baby formula powder in bulk rather than those in the super markets, and beside those occasionally discount ones? I think those sold in the super markets are quite expensive!! Thank you!

    We looked in to this when formula was was more expensive then it is now 2 years ago, and it was more or less the same price wholesale here as it was in the shops up north.
    Now that they have lowered the prices here,I don't think there will be much difference.

    Hi
    BeforeI go up north I usually check www.mysupermarket.co.uk

    Compares the prices of Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys and Waitrose (ie the ones which deliver in the UK)

    Handy for knowing who has what offers on so I know where to go (or where my Mum needs to order things from before my visit to her) Or just for keeping track of what the prices are like in the UK. Updated daily.

    HTH

    Nice one for the link Fran79!
    I just found on it that I can get the SMA my little lady takes for £6 in Tescoes UK (€7.25), the cheapest I can get it down here is €8 in Tescoes, though most other places charge €10+ for it!

    My mum goes up the North every few weeks, I might get her to pick me up a few cans of it. every cent counts & all that :)

    Just out of curiosity I checked Aptimil & the prices for UK vs Ireland are pretty similar
