I hear ya...
First, good on ya for taking action yourself instead of pumping your little'n up with more chemicals. It takes a strong person to go against "the norm."
Shopping at my local supermarket is expensive. Sometimes $5 for ONE cantaloupe (Rockmelon to us Aussies) - usually about $4 ($3.98). I don't pay those prices. I shop for fruit and veg at a private place. $1 for honeydew melon and cantaloupe. $1 a kilo (about 50 cents a pound) for other fruits like oranges. Beats the $4 - $5 a kilo ($2 - $2.50 a pound) at my local supermarket. Fruit shop sells eggs for $2.95 a dozen. Same eggs in supermarket cost $5.33. Only thing I use supermarket for is meat - sometimes (specially now my local organic meat shop has closed down due to lack of interest). And spices - curry, cayenne, salt, pepper, etc. The other stuff - bread, pasta, rice, etc. - I call "filler." Funny how filler is CHEAP. Funny how one packet of frozen french fries - 1 kilo - is cheaper than 1 kilo of unwashed spuds. BIG watermelon goes long way. Better than ice-cream. HEY! With 7 kids you could have a book on your hands. Lady in Australia got media attention for her book. "How to feed a family of four for under $100 per week." She bought lots of flour and pasta and rice and some cans. All "no brand". Made everything herself. How to feed a family of nine for $100 per week. That will make the media. Double HEY. Come to Australia and go on welfare. Govt will pay you $800 a week with 7 kids. Michael Ross |
