At this stage just continue to eat healthy foods and do the best you can without beating yourself up if you go a little over.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-8699260490562843312016-11-08T15:24:22.229-08:002016-11-08T15:24:22.229-08:00I agree with Cheapchick!

You probably have better nutrition than 95% of families out there, and that doesn't come cheap. Plus you are an active and mobile bunch!

You eat hardly any prepared food so kudos to you. Plus, you have a family of 4 and live in an expensive area. I bet if you lived in a cheaper area you would have a lower grocery bill but that isn't an option. Are there any Mexcan/Chinese stores in your area? Those typically have cheaper produce than mainstream stores. That might help a small amount.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
