My kids have a varied diet , this i know and i am sure. The reason i know this, is not only that i am the only one who does all the shopping, and cooking.
I know this because i change my shopping on a weekly basis, this isnt hard work , this isnt even a chore and this isnt expensive. I do this by buying what is on offer, i buy 2 for 1 offers and items that are on that weeks specials, some weeks we are total vegetarians and others we have meat and lots of it.
Some weeks we have cakes and biscuits and others its fruit after every meal. I am the greatest budget shopper im the world and will not ever pay full price for something no matter how yummy it is . I will however try to recreate it at home .
So if you see me in the supermaket laden with offers and own labels , dont pity me , i bet you your last dollar you'll catch on soon.
Variety is fantastic for kids. mine are vegetraian and I tell them they need to be able to eat EVERYTHING avaiable to vegetraians or they will find travelling/being a guest extra tough.
ReplyDeleteHave you called your supermarkets to see when they do their mark downs on bread etc. too? Thats a fab tine to shop. Our local store does it at 9.15 pm exactly (I'm there with my basket!) great post marcy :) Pls have nme over on cake/sweet week x
Our supermarket reduces bread fresh bakes and chickens about 7.30pm so its a good idea to get there a bit before, my teens find it mortally embarrasing, but they dont mind eating it
