I was wondering if you provide snacks for your children between meals, or are their tummies satisfied with what you have listed. I have four little boys (ages 7, 5, 3, 1) and they seem to be hungry constantly. I feed them complete, wholesome meals three times a day with a light nutritious snack between meals. Our youngest has mulitple food allergies, so we have to purchase special flours and such for him – he basically eats fruits and vegetables (expensive). Our food budget has significantly increased due to increased appetites and food allergies. Any suggestions? (We are a military family – CONUS)

HAH! I see the TM by your title. That’s new, isn’t it? Smart thinking after that whole Unhappy Housewife bit. (or whatever that other blog was called) I’ll bet that was enough flattery for you.

WELLLLL, I was going to say if your husband is anything like my husband he’ll come home with all kinds of weird fancy expensive stuff and lots of Cadbury candy bars… but then I remembered my husband has changed, now he shops everyday for the meat, fish, or whatever he wants for dinner that night. We don’t freeze meat… we grill it fresh. I’m sure your husband will do just fine… you’ve trained him well. It just took me a little longer.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Very kind of you!

FirstHusband does our grocery shopping on the way home from work. It takes less time to shop when kids aren’t sneaking stuff into the basket. (It also takes less money.) I never make him a list, he just calls me on the cell a few times. He’s got the hang of it now. Buys the correct brands and everything!

I’m not a big fan of coupons because we tend to eat alot of fresh veggies and fruit. Once in awhile I’ll use one for cleaning supplies or coffee.
I tend to look for the markdowns at my local Fresh and Easy store.
You have a terrific week.

Yikes! I’d be nervous, too. LOL! We love chicken pot pie and had some a couple weeks ago. I’ll have to try the shepherd’s pie soon. Good way to use up some leftover taters.

My husband used to do the grocery shopping before we both got too busy and resorted to having our groceries delivered. He was actually much better at it than I was.
