[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a family of 4 including a bottomless teen, I spend more like $400-500 at Costco every two months (plus weekly or twice-weekly grocery store trips for non-frozen perishables).  $100-200?  That's maybe ten items?  Buy more food.  A LOT more.  Where is your DH?  Maybe put him in charge of the shopping if you can't bring yourself to buy it.[/quote]

I will buy it. I just hate waste and I'm afraid to buy too much that will go to waste. I'll use this weeks shopping trip as an experiment. If there is not waste then I'll continue buying larger amounts [/quote]

It is good to not want to create too much waste. You used the word aversion, and I think that is your problem; it's an aversion that has controlled you to the point you won't feed your family enough. If there are leftovers, so what? That means there is enough food to manage the post-dinner muchies should they arise or to rollover to after school snack the next day. If you don't try it for a bit, you won't know whether there will actually be any waste.[/quote]
