Unfortunately, I found out that you have to be pregnant and/or have at least one child to register with Famigros. Neither of these applies to me.
When I read comments about famigros in the forum, some people are also disappointed.
At Coop, anyone can become a "Hello Family" club member. I really like the whole "Hello Family" program. Nowadays, it's not just parents who look after their children, but also grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.

Hello sammie
Thank you for your message.
All Famigros content and offers are geared towards the needs of families. Membership is therefore primarily useful for families. It is of course true that other relatives or godparents also look after the children. However, you have to draw the "family" line somewhere, otherwise it's no longer a special offer.
For singles and childless couples, the Cumulus program offers regular discounts on all Migros product ranges.
Best regards

I see it like sammie - I also have a Gottimeitli and would love to benefit from it!
Coop is a bit more progressive...
Sammie: "Nowadays, it's not just the parents who look after their children, but also grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc."
Yes, but the additional financial burden of children usually falls on the parents, doesn't it? So I'm quite happy about a few family benefits.
Don't worry, childless people still have a lot of advantages. I can list a few if you can't think of any.
My answers to
Sakanas, TARDIS and Sabine_Migros
I would like to thank Sakanas for his/her support.
The following comment by TARDIS:
she/he complains that the additional financial burden of children falls on the parents. I may well assume that she/he "voluntarily/desirably" had the children. Consequently, she/he should also take responsibility for it. She/he could also have remained childless and "benefited" from the so-called advantages. However, there are also childless people who are not childless by choice and would therefore like to relieve the burden on parents with children. The childless person would not benefit themselves, but would do something with children or give them a gift.
To Sabine, Migros, Migipedia team,
Thank you for your answer. I assume that the benefits from the Cumulus program are also available to families. I don't remember them being only for singles and childless people.
Unfortunately, my experience is that once Migros has decided something, they never change their decision.
With summer greetings - sammie
Sammie: Of course, many children are desired children; nevertheless, they are sometimes (despite all the love) a burden on the budget. Is that why only rich people should be allowed to have children? Aren't we allowed to complain about the extra burden from time to time, even though we wanted a family?
Sometimes we still have a lot of money left over at the end of the month (despite working full-time). That's why offers like Famigros are very welcome.
Your concern to relieve other parents a little is an honor. However, I would like to point out that you don't need a Famigros card to do something with your children.
Yes, dear "sammie", children are hopefully desired and very welcome
But no cow will lick the fact that where 2 wages for 2 people used to come in, suddenly 1 wage has to be enough for 3 people. You have to be able to do the math. Desired children or not, money will be much tighter, even if the woman also works a few hours. The child has to be well looked after.
It's nice that for once something like Famigros offers families support and a little relief. That fits in very well with Dutti's philosophy. Incidentally, it should be the same at Coop. The government also has a lot of catching up to do in this respect!
What's more, many tips, such as cooking recipes, are available to everyone, not just Famigros members.

..... One could also speak of "discrimination".
If you're a household of two and have to get by on a shoestring, you'd also be happy to receive one or two additional benefits (in addition to those
""for singles and childless couples"" ).....

Dangy70, I also find it discriminatory that my children are not allowed to go to the P18 action movie.
It's really shameful that we families with children are accused of discrimination and not allowed any advantages.

too bad... I didn't mean to attack the families! I just think that everyone who can SHOP should be allowed to shop AT THE SAME CONDITIONS. In other words: keep up the good work.
I have been a convinced "Migros customer" for as long as I can remember. It's nice that other suppliers have also brought their products up to scratch and are offering them to EVERYONE on the same terms.
Of course I will continue to shop at Migros.
I wanted to get rid of this here - sorry, maybe the wrong place.
I hereby unsubscribe from this site.
@Skifan: Be Happy!
Yes, you really are totally wrong and so are all the others who want to compare and equate apples and oranges.
There is a huge difference between living on one or two wages in a household of 1-2 people and living on ONE wage in a household of THREE-FOUR or more people. Everyone who wants to be on an equal footing with families should have guest children/foster children living with them for at least a year and "finance" them completely, including food, clothes, leisure activities, vacations, school trips, etc. Then they would really come into the world and stop "chatting".
(Of course, you can't expect the children to do this experiment; it's only meant to be hypothetical and thought-provoking).
I wanted to make it clear here that you singles and childless people have no idea because you don't know.
Just one example: 12-16 year olds are - as I'm sure everyone knows - still children, yet you already pay the adult price for them. (Hotel, train, movie theater,...)
Adults can, or at least should, provide for their own upkeep, children must/may be financed by their parents until they have completed their initial education, i.e. at least until the age of 20.
