[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Save in other ways, not food. Though I would say they can drink water and I wouldn’t buy tons of junk food. [/quote] You can save on food, and not deprive your kids. I'm the whole milk poster. My teenage boys eat a ton all year round, not just in the summer. I do lots of things to stretch meals, and make their snacks more economical and also healthier. I buy what's on sale, and I load my fridge with things that have fiber and protein to keep them full longer. So, we always have bananas on the counter and hard boiled eggs in the fridge, and there's always cheap and filling like a pot of lentil soup, or some rice and beans, or some cabbage and potatoes cooked with a little sausage in the fridge for them to make a second lunch or third dinner. My kids have jobs, so they have money, and they have bikes, so if they really want doritos they can get themselves to 7 - 11. They aren't deprived. [/quote]
