is there a reason for buying organic. I would also not do some homemade stuff if it cost me alot. I can feed 6 people (4 older kids) and all my daycare kids for wayyyyy under 200 dollars a week. I cook every single day.

first, prepackaged food isn't bad for you if your choosing the right stuff.
coupons and price matching does make a huge deal
also not going to the store every day is huge too
and buying in bulk too
