[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Goodness, ours is $30-$50 higher per week. Admittedly I have a kid who has just entered the teen years, but we've always done a ton from scratch and meal planned and it's still just expensive.[/quote] We have two teenage athletes and our bill has increased about $50-$100 per week - cooking from scratch all meals but also buying prepared snacks (yogurt, MadeGood bars, etc.). Agree with PP that I have a demanding job and lots to do and don't have time to make every snack from scratch. Making a batch of homemade granola bars on Sunday and expecting them to last the week might work when kids are little, but talk to me when you are dealing with a ravenous 16-year-old who just got home from practice.[/quote] +1 Teen athletes eat so much. Plus the food has to be healthy so we're spending a fortune on stuff like low sugar protein bars and muscle milk. [/quote]
