I am no longer going to include all my toddlers soymilk in our grocery budget. When I began this challenge I new she had special nutritional needs but I had no idea she would need 4 or more cartons of milk that cost almost $4 each every week to stay healthy. Her health is a concern to me and to my pediatrician because of her food issues and I am not willing to compromise on her milk for the sake of my budget so I will no longer include her milk which cost us between $12 and $16 a week. I do not consider her soymilk groceries but medicine at this point.
On a side note I am including all my husbands snacks in my budget. I set up up a snack budget for him but have changed my mind. All my husbands snacks are included in our $50 weekly food bill.

ReplyDeleteThanks, we ate way to much junk here.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. My son (4) has severe food allergies (allergic to peanuts, dairy, soy, wheat, eggs, and corn) and that is the reason I am trying to learn how to save on groceries...because I have to spend more on his food. His loaf of bread is almost $5 and he goes thru 2 loaves a week.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a target near you? Because Soy milk is on sale this week and there is a .50/1 target q!!!! Stock up as much as you can. LAst time when meijer had it on sale bought 25! That was two months ago and I am on my last two cartons... :(
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about Taget. Can you freeze soymilk?
