    Have everyone assist in planning the meals. Everyone takes something from all the meal parts. Don’t eat the. You can wait for the
    Next meal.

    Stop enabling picky eaters.

    Then keep on a strict cash basis weekly shop. Everyone has to come and help
    I think people pander children way too much. Friend of mine swore her kid wouldn't eat vegetables. Now child is a 18-year-old who is practically a vegetarian.

    If a person is hungry enough they will eat what you cook. Unless, of course, it is something like rice pudding.....

      We had roast EVERY Sunday and I remember eating it for many days afterwards. I grew up in a fairly affluent home but my parents both lived through the depression so they were quite frugal. My mom used to save and reuse tinfoil many times.


      I have a funny rice pudding story that upsets me as I look back now since I know how hard my mom worked to make the money stretch.

      We also used to recycle milk bags...the clear ones not the big one!

        Walmart and Loblaws are the ones I use.

          Who is going to buy all the President's Choice Pesto Bazil sauce?! Rosewater sales just went down 90% too!

                Mmmm, I put raisins in my vanilla maggots. I wonder if the kids would eat it if I called it that?
