Making homemade baby food can actually be easy and cost so much less then prepared food (which is full of fillers and preservatives.

Here’s a great segment on making your own baby food. It’s natural and easy. I found it on Plum TV Miami.

Definitely, there are nutritional benefits to homemade baby food. I am still planning on making baby food, but am more open to the idea of doing the jarred variety this time too.

Good luck with baby number two- I hope that you have two non-picky eaters Our son has outgrown the picky stage and we are so happy about that! I hope that making baby food works out for the next one too.

Don’t forget the non-financial benefits of making your own baby food. I made my son’s baby food and gave him all sorts of things that you can’t find in baby food jars–asparagus, Brussels sprouts, potatoes with leeks, etc—and I was able to add herbs and spices. And each batch was slightly different–no two carrots taste EXACTLY the same, and I used different levels of puree. My theory is that he’s such a good eater now because he was accustomed to variety from the very beginning. He’s 19 months old and eats exactly what my husband and I eat, no exceptions. I’m expecting number two in December and I’m pretty sure that I’ll be making his/her food.

Thanks for all the information! I have a 3.5-week-old and I know it won’t be long until I’m searching for baby food deals, as well!

Damn that itchy trigger finger! I wasn't finished. Anyway,as I was saying, other manufacturers' websites also have links to coupons and special programs.

You can also try TheCouponMom.com and ShopLocal.com for deals in your area.

I'll be doing a post later today on coupon trains and this great baby deals website I found.

Thanks for the mention! 20 cents IS a great deal on baby food!

I, too, find BeechNut to be the cheapest. For those who prefer organic, Kroger stores have their own line, called Naturally Preferred that's cheaper than Earth's Best.

Other manufactuerer's websites also have links to coupons and special programs.

Great post!

Don't forget Upromise also gives a 3% cash-back bonus on Beech-Nut baby food if you register your grocery store card with them.

If you have a Upromise credit card from Citi, you get an additional 10% back on Beech-Nut, but I don't actually think the Upromise card is as good as some other reward cards out there.
