Do you have a walmart? Searching online, they have the standard Similac and Enfamil formulas, some soy based ones, and also another company's Nutramigen copy.

Why didn't they just shop on Amazon?
Your story doesn't say whether it was a formula give-away, or these were people waiting to purchase formula.

If they were waiting to buy, your question is an excellent one.

If they were getting freebies, well, the question answers itself.

Edited to add:

I think this may be more details on your story. They were giving this away - not selling it. People will line up for free stuff, that's for sure.

Yeah, people who can't afford baby formula due to Bidenflation are the kind of people who show up for freebies.


But hey, as a gainfully employed individual ya know I love to hang out at the food bank all day.


For the "freebies".

You asked why those people didn't buy their formula on Amazon, and I answered.

Because they weren't buying. They were getting handouts.

Why don't you question why 1 factory going off line has caused such a shortage, or would you rather complain that the health dangers identified weren't serious enough? Then you would complain that the government is at fault for not inspecting the factories, how about why did it take Abbott so long to correct the discrepancies and get the factory back online from their voluntary shutdown?

The horror of the very idea that Americans wouldn't have access to baby formula, and so babies would actually STARVE, is enough to cause a widespread panic that results in overbuying and depleted supplies.

Thank God that's not happening. Because, Amazon.

I guess, if there are places where formula isn't available, parents who don't want to sign up for a free account on Amazon will have their babies starve.

What if they don't have internet or a credit card? Should they just eat cake then?

I do have a Walmart none of the stores in either county have the Gerber Good Start Soy - I'd have to order it and wouldn't get it tomorrow. There are always some people that if I say the sky iis blue they'll say it's purple just to create drama.

As far as putting "America first," that is the sworn duty of the outlaw organization we now have in control of the federal government. And they are, of course, ignoring that duty and in actuality putting "America Last."

Well, if they can figure out a way to storm the holding centers, there's plenty of formula on THIS side of the border. Just not for them.

I don't doubt you for a minute.

We've had a baby formula crunch for a few weeks now. Did you just notice that it may be a little harder to get what you need, so you need to start looking ahead of when you run out?

Can you get it on Amazon?
