[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You-all are amusing. There's no need to grab drinks and snacks when you are out with the kids. Contrary to popular opinion, children can go more than 2 hours without eating. Or drinking. If they get cranky, that is your poor parenting blaming your lax discipline on your children.

You cook. Take out is freaking ridiculous---if you're tired, scramble some eggs, call it supper. You  actually  can clean your own house. Get rid of 2/3 of the crap, or don't buy it in the first place, and the house will be cleaner. Especially toys. You really don't need them beyond some blocks. [/quote]

I agree. I never order take-out or buy individually packaged snacks - these types of food are incredibly expensive for their weight and nutritionally not worth the price. We hardly ever eat out, but when we do, it's to good (non-junk type) restaurants, since we want to be able to enjoy something great that we can't make at home.
We travel light when we go on outings, except if we pack a picnic lunch. Three meals a day is plenty, no need for snacks and drinks at all hours (you can pack a cheerio snack for a toddler).

In short, buy quality over quantity and get your money's worth.
