Ummmm, she is trading baby formula not a child. Something tells me it "fell" off a truck. Or she over estimated how much she needed for her baby. Just so you know, that stuff is expensive as all hell. When my boy was on it, it cost more for him to eat than for two adults in the house. Of course he had acid reflux problems and could only keep down the expensive shit.

Sorry I dont see anything wrong with it. Formula is pretty expensive and if you buy a lot of it at costco or you get it given to you, or you are sent formula from these companies, you can end up with a lot of it. I went through 4 different kinds of formula before I realized that Gerber was the best for my daughter and Similac made her constipated. If it doesnt work for your baby get rid of it. But you cant just return it and people always try to lowball you on it.

 
I just can't afford anymore delays and you're one of those fish that cause delays. Sometimes its a good thing. There's a whole group of fish; they're called delay fish.~ Marlin

Ya, that stuff is expensive. And the powder is no where near as much as the liquid!
Baby's can either prefer or not do well on one brand or another so that could also be what happened. She could have gotten a bunch at a baby shower or something. Way to many scenarios here to pass judgement.

Chances are it was leftovers from her own kid. I had a couple of cans of formula and a couple of packs of diapers that I had leftover from when my kids no longer needed them. I passed them on to a friend.

But yes...babies are friggin' expensive LOL

I'm not meaning to pass judgement, I probably should have titled the thread differently, but that's what it striked me as when I read it the first time. I just found the ad strange is all, and yeah that kids stuff is insanely expensive, when I worked at a grocery store we had to keep it locked up for customers to ask for it. I don't know if it was because its 20-30$ a can, or because you can cut it with cocaine to mask the drug.
