Hmmm...I have never priced it out. I guess around $4 -$12 per day in food for the children. Some days I only have 1 child and then the most I have is 4. I cook large meals and serve leftovers for lunch and then the fresh fruits and vegs and the organic products (applesauce, crackers, etc) are the pricey things. I usually but meat from costco and then divide it up into cooking portions and freeze it so that saves a bit.

The worst thing is that my After School Child eats me out of house and home. I agreed to a $10 rate because it is only for after school but I had no idea what appetite she has !!! Mon dieu ! I think most days she eats $10 worth. She is not overweight so i don't know where she puts it but she can eat a lot. lol. This will be the last year I do after school because it is not worth it for me.
