[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I appreciate everyone's feed back and I totally agree I am totally over spending and wasting so much food and $. I have 3 very little kids .. one 1 year old and 2 5 year olds .. they literally eat toast and cream cheese and fruit ... and somehow we blow through $300 a week and then throw food away every week. I think also the problem is my husband and I both randomly pop to the grocery store.. like 3 times a week and don't even know what the other got. I am going to start by cutting this out, only go one time a week if we didn't get something we can manage for 6 days till the next time we go etc. Thanks very much for all the advice. [/quote]

OP, but for the ages, I literally thought I wrote this post! We are also a family of five with 5yo twins and a 3 yo.  I waste so much every week and I hate it. Every week I say I am going to cook on Sunday but then something will always come up and by the time we get back from the birthday party/game/whatever, I'm trying to get kids ready, wash clothes etc. My kids are also very picky and I feel like we eat the same thing every week. The times I do venture out and try to introduce new foods they don't eat and I'm made that I've wasted even more. I also make a meal for them and one for my husband and I and he and I eat after he gets home later in the evening. Ugh!!

Is anyone willing to post their weekly menu/food shopping list? [/quote]
