Great post Tess.

I so get ya on so much less waste with meats.

I still throw out so much bread in this house.....which is ok in a way.....but not ok cause that to me is putting dollar bills straight into the garbage.

Hubby buys so much bread cause all different types catch his eye.....but my 14 yr old daughter does not eat much bread at all, and I eat none.....so his bread mostly just molds before he can get thru all he buys.....I tell him, but this guy don't listen LOL

2 boys!! hey I got a 14 yr old but a daughter so she does eat less HAHA
I feel for your grocery bill tho on 2 growing boys

You are so right tho. I do the same with her.....she reaches for junk and I say no crappy eating til you had a decent meal and I load her up on the meats/seafoods also and then she sure reaches less for junky stuff after that.
