    What are your weekly expenses?

    Since I charge most of my daycare expenses to one credit card I have noticed on average I spend about $100-120 per week for food, supplies etc.

    Is this average with everyone else? What are your expenses?

    Yes, I spend about $100 a week on food and supplies. Not counting expenses like toys, playpens, gates, etc.

    I don't provide lunch. The parents bring lunch for their children so I just provide morning and afternoon snack, but what I lack for spending in food I more than make up for in supplies and field trips

    That sounds about right for groceries for my daycare children but they are all light eaters right now. I also have another $40 or $50 in my organic food order that is delivered weekly. I don't buy craft supplies very often any more unless we're doing something special, then I make a trip to Dollarama but I've overstocked on craft supplies over the years and I'm drowning in it!

    It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
