[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We spend about $700 for two children and two adults.  There are certain things that add up so quickly for us-milk and berries.  Two gallons of organic milk and 2 containers of raspberries and 2 of blueberries.  DD eats a whole container a day, unless their is a sale we are spending about $20 a week on berries alone for one child.  I don't think $800 is ridiculous at all I think it where we will be in a year or so.[/quote]

Buy fresh fruit in season:  Apples, pears, bananas, citrus.  Melons in the summer.  Raspberries and blueberries are spoilage prone and ridiculously expensive.    There's no call for a kid to be eating "treat" food every day.  If you want smoothies, buy frozen berries.

Bread:  It's $3 (yeast, oil, flour and sugar or honey) for 3 loaves and takes 2 hours on the weekend.  Better than anything you can buy.

Organic milk just means the cows eat organic silage.  Not worth it.

I feed a family of 3---all adults---and company 2-3x weekly for $150 every 2 weeks.  [/quote]
