Now I know you are all wondering. How are your kids doing on it?
Let me start with its a battle but one that wont last too long. For the most part the two older kids do just fine with it. Its my youngest who is VERY stubborn. She just doesn't like anything that isn't familiar. Now don't worry. My kids are not being starved. They get all the calcium, protein and vitamins they need.
We do rice milk now which they don't seem to mind. It was easier than almond milk. They love the smoothies I make. It's almost like a treat to them! Thank you for Costco and their cheaper frozen fruits. I recommend getting frozen pineapple, frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries from them. For a family of 5 on a budget it sure helps.
Another thing you are wondering is "Does it cost more?" After going over all the receipts and dividing it out among the weeks. Not really. Some weeks are less than others and so it equals out to be how much we have spent anyways. We use everything we have. We don't have things laying around that sit in the pantry for weeks. Everything gets used up. I haven't wasted much food which is good.
The best part is you use things you would never have thought to use. All perfectly healthy.
WinCo has the best bulk food. That certainly helps with our budget too!
One more thing to help those who are wondering. My skin complexion seems to be getting better. Clearing up. But I will keep you posted on that one.
Thats all for now. Sorry its a bit scatterbrained.
