[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the posts... It actually looks like my weekly budget of about $300 for groceries/ monthly supplies ie TP and Paper Towels is pretty on point. Which is good and bad I suppose.. I was hoping that I could spend less but also seems like with 5 mouths to feed I am going to be in the $1100 a month range regardless if I want to keep buying high quality foods that we are used to.. I would like to be able to not waste produce so much. I feel like every Sunday we "clean out" the fridge and there is food that was perfectly good that has spoiled cause we didn't use it .. it is a terrible waste. Any food storage ideas out there!? thanks for all the info[/quote]

I SAHM too, 3 kids, and one thing that helped me not waste food was I made the move to clear glass containers.  Pyrex. It helps to be able to see all the stuff, and easy to reheat in the microwave if it's already in a glass dish.  I grill a lot of Panko chicken and leftovers can be used in multiple ways, especially if it's seen as soon as I open the door. I also organize the fridge better - fruit and veggies on one shelf, leftovers on another, smoothies and yogurts on another. I no longer shop at WF - lots of great healthy options as Costco for much less.[/quote]
