Looking to reduce costs!

I try to follow the guidelines too though. A cup and a half of fruit per day is the recommended serving for 18-36 months if i remember correctly. They get fruit here 2-3x plus at home so they are likely getting more than a cup and a half but it's probably close.

That's about two pieces of fruit I would think. 10 apples a day though...I don't think so lol that's why I supplement it with lots of other things. I'm not sure that many kids get that much fruit at home on a week day though as they only would generally have one meal and no snacks there.

Make sure you PAY ATTENTION when groceries are being scanned or check your bill just after. I can't tell you how many times I've been double scanned by various stores. Cashier is always sorry. Perhaps there are sensitive scans but I get this least a few times a month. I never thought to check the receipt but I had to return something once and noticed I was scanned twice for cream and another time for chicken! BE AWARE! It all adds up

Along the same lines as that, also watch for prices. If it scans at a different price than posted, you can potentially get that item for free. Any store that participates in the scanning code of Canada (I think that's the name) will give you the first item free if it's scanning wrong.
