Why is it that the good stuff, ie fruits and veggies are sooo expensive? I cook from scratch too, with a family of four I have to get creative in meals, little ones are so picky! I rarely buy processed foods or snacks, usually the only things are cereal and crackers. I make cookies, cakes, waffles, etc from scratch with the kids. Sweets are treats an usually once every other month. As a little project we've started a little garden for easy to grow veggies that cost a bit more. The benefit we use organic seeds and soil, no chemicals. We don't have an organics section with a lot of choices near me. Plus the kids love it!
