The thing is those of us that don't aren't bad providers or bad people. Yes I do serve a lot of processed foods but there are a lot of fresh items as well (fruit/vegies). I am trying to change my ways but growing up my diet consisted of macaroni and ground beef most days. I myself have never tried a variety of different foods and would be considered a picky eater by most. I don't cook something I wouldn't myself eat and I don't even know what to do with majority of it (and if I try it usually turns into a disaster - just ask my husband lol). I am trying and thanks to pinterest have lots of ideas to choose from.

Good luck with cutting back on your expenses. Like I also suggested before this all turned into an organic food issue what about cutting back on crafts etc.
I actually responded to the comment about crafting. Due to my group being so nuts whenever I craft I only craft for themed holidays...I'm sure this will change shortly as they stop screaming constantly but even then I wont save any money as I have enough craft supplies stock piled to last me a good 5 years or more. I do sensory buckets and treasure baskets which I have had for years and don't cost anything and as I have a variety of them they are rotated and varied enough that I don't need to buy more stuff for them.
