The Neverending Quest To Feed My Brood - May 5

[Patty Smyth]

Just when I think I have enough snacks for my brood I get the old "Mom we have no more ______________" fill in the blank with your favorite snack of the week. Well at least mom has COUPONS!!!

4 x Cottonelle $1.18 - 4 x $1
5 x Yogurt $1.97 - $0.50 (only 4 x 50cents, she forgot 1)
8 x Snacks(I wish these would go on sale!!) $2.93 - 2 x $4 off

Total before coupons $42.64 - After coupons $28.64

Coupons used yesterday and today $62

If your kids like these.... I usually get them at Costco for 9.97 - 30 in a box (10 each - Doritos, Cheetos & Sunchips)... still a great deal when you have no coupons or sales for the small boxes. ... you would need 6 small boxes to get 30 ...at 2.93 is 17.58... savings of 7.61 at Costco !!

Thanks for the heads up. I've been trying to avoid Costco because you know what happens when you go there you come out broke. LOL

Now I realize why I didn't buy them at Costco it's because noone will eat the Sunchips.

I actually have little signs all over the pantry:

No more than 4 cereal boxes open at one time..cannot open any more boxes without permission. Cannot find new treat stash without finishing off last treat stash. Close the XX eggos when you are done! Who put the tin foil in the plastic recycling? Who put the rubber band in the compost bucket......I could go on. Constant battle. (the kids are bad about closing things...hubby terrible at sorting for mandatory recycling in our neighborhood). Good to know it is not just us.

YAY! i love food=)

[mom4boys1girl]

my table looks like aliens abducted my kids while i wasnt looking

bowls with spoons and milk still in it....milk bubbles too....sitting on the table...then when you tell them to move them they put them all individually on the counter in front of my coffee maker covering the whole counter.....RIGHT NEXT TO THE SINK....lol

I find empty boxes in cupboards, freezer and empty things in the fridge, dishes on counter beside the sink aswell. Hubby is not much better. I will fill up the snack shack (that's what we call the cupboatd)one every two weeks and boys its like someone let the animals loose, then next thing you know everything is gone!

[kiwis-mom]

I have a separate cupboard for snacks for me (low fat/cal ones) one for my hubby and then one for my daughter that holds all her snacks(filled with all the healthy stuff). If it's something I don't want my hubby to eat (more expensive low fat/cal ones) I hide it otherwise he will go through them in an instant! Since he isn't trying to stay skinny (lucky bugger can eat what he wants and stays thin!) he can eat the regular stuff and can leave the cardboard flavoured snacks to me!

That makes sense.. so it is worth your while to buy them separately.. my kids love all 3 kinds so it works better for me. Sorry I couldn't help you out... but hey I saved you a trip to Costco !!! LOL...

YES thank you but then again with Save.ca coupns being accepted there soon I guess I will just have to take a looksee.

Love the savings Patty! LOL! I also find empty boxes, cartons, containers in the freezer, in the fridge, pantry, on the counter, dishes and cups on the counter!

Oh My.

Excellent Deals. I haven't tried the new yogurt. Does it taste the same as the small travel size ones?

Sorry don't know about the travel sizes but it is really good, very creamy too.
