I feel like I'm spending way too much money on food. I cook meals from scratch, using lots of fresh fruits, veggies and proteins. I also have a group of really good eaters. Last month alone, I spent over $1000. I don't know whether to stop serving the types of meals and snacks that I do and start cooking canned foods, grilled cheese, or hotdogs instead? Or, should I raise my prices (and will parents will understanding if I do?). I just can't continue to spend so much. Help!
To give you an idea of what I'm serving, today was:
Morning Snack: yogurt with granola, strawberries and blueberries
Lunch: Greek chicken pitas with cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese and tzatziki. Peaches for dessert
Afternoon Snack: Raw veggies (carrots, celery, peas, cucumbers) and crackers with hummus
Tomorrow will be pumpkin and quinoa muffins for morning snack, stir-fried ginger pork and vegetables with rice for lunch, and apples and home-made trail mix for afternoon snack.
