I’m still receiving formula and formula mailings from a purchase I made at a Motherhood store (this includes Pea in the Pod and Mimi) last year – I lost the baby. Needless to say I went on a rampage, called Similac, and they gave me the source of the info. I’m happily pregnant again and will NEVER shop in these stores again.

Eep! I came here to read the comments and found them completely unreadable even with JS turned on — everything below “3 Responses” was overwriting everything else. (Using Firefox 3 on a Mac.)

Crap, they got you too? I was at Motherhood in the tiny cramped Plus section in the back, trying on quite possibly the stupidest looking maternity pants (Which I now can’t seem to stop wearing) and my sister-in-law caught me off guard with her mainstream motherhood ideas. I was throwing out my personal information to the lady before I knew what hit me. I’m planning on breastfeeding – I don’t need formula coupons! I am not (fingers crossed and totally idealistically) buying things made in China. I do not need to be strewn with coupons. Argh. I’ve already gotten a Parents mag. Garbage I say.

$20 per year! Eh, maybe it’s worth it?

Try going to http://www.greendimes.com and see if you can put your name on the “no mail” list. That might help block the mass marketing about to attack you.
