My next one is lactose intolerant, so he uses Lactaid with cereal but doesn't really drink it. There is actually no real nutritional benefit to milk once they are over two years old. Water is much better, plus protein, fruits and veggies. So I buy about two gallons every week or so. My little ones I limit to only 1 or 2 cups a day (including cereal) - again, I push the water. You can get calcium and vitamin D from so many other sources, if you're worried about that.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999838147173390906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11055179.post-50544557798564022462013-09-09T08:17:23.972-07:002013-09-09T08:17:23.972-07:00Great ideas, Kris.

We don't have a deep freeze, so I've never tried to freeze milk.<br /><br />I agree with the once per month on goodies. Tim was begging me to buy more ice cream. I'll buy a reasonable quantity once per week, and when it's gone, it's gone.<br /><br />No worries on the typos. Good gravy, mine are getting more frequent. I don't even like to read anything old I've written.Kelly@http:/inthesheepfold.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834003036792819091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11055179.post-33308228926654762482013-09-08T18:07:04.387-07:002013-09-08T18:07:04.387-07:00Goodness - sorry for the typos in that post!!

I feel your pain (and your empty fridge!) I'm a huge believer in protein and GOOD food for them. I do by some junkie treats, but I limit that to once or twice a month. So, if the giant box of goldfish runs out in the first week of the month (I only make one Costco run a month) then, "oh, well" and "too bad, so sad"! I keep lots of fruit in the house (especially apples and oranges because they don't go bad), lots of PB, eggs, lunch meat, etc. When I cook dinner, I make extra, because they will all eat leftover. I have popcorn, nuts, etc. When I started limiting my shopping to once a week at the regular grocery and once a month at Costco, they amazingly found something to eat. And they have learned to stretch the favorites.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999838147173390906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11055179.post-52113208719757755062013-09-08T15:26:40.576-07:002013-09-08T15:26:40.576-07:00Kath - The refrained (gosh, I love auto-correct th...Kath - The refrained (gosh, I love auto-correct that turns refried into refrained and then into retried) beans will work. Tim's not much of a cereal eater. When we run out of the coveted and much-loved processed, convenience foods, he goes for the PB and J which is relatively cheap and healthy. <br />Kelly@http:/inthesheepfold.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834003036792819091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11055179.post-79614607085301039462013-09-08T05:58:40.555-07:002013-09-08T05:58:40.555-07:00Also, I kept tons of cereal and milk on hand for m...Also, I kept tons of cereal and milk on hand for my teenage boy. Whole grain,and had to be 10g of sugar or less. Always looked for cheap sources of protein, like PB, eggs and refried beans. <br />You survived the summer and you are an awesome Mom!!kvizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671236467795556556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11055179.post-76050916760016101352013-09-08T05:52:09.989-07:002013-09-08T05:52:09.989-07:00Actually, it is bated breath, I believe.
