First are you feeding a family of eight with six children or a family of 6 with 4 children? You post says both .
“Family of six children”
“Why is $150 so hard to be true for a family of four children?”
um…. my numbers work for a family of 6 children so for sure they can work for a family with 4 children
(if you cant figure that out, then just cook for six and throw out the extra 2 portions)
didn’t think question was including non food
it wasn’t posed as total household budget
No breakfast cereals allowed? correct
Sugar, salt, spices? minimal daily
Cream cheese sandwiches and scrambled eggs for breakfast?no
scrambled eggs for breakfast
Cream cheese sandwiches for lunch
2 family packs of chicken bottoms yields 12 quarters – if it’s a family of six that’s two dinners. Last I looked there were 6 dinners in a week. Are you only serving pasta the other 4 nights with no protein (ie fish or meat?)
no. american cheese in the pasta. its called mac and cheese
quite tasty really
1 pack of hot dogs (8 pack or 16 pack?)i think for 10$ you can get a 16 pack
when you say children do you mean toddlers, under 10 or teens? Do you know how much teen boys eat? a mix of ages like a regular family
yes. some eat very little
(1 can for a family of 6?) yes plus eggs and dips . not everyone likes/eats tuna
nope. its a half a pound of cheap meat
pretty substantive in a 5 quart pot of cholent
any more questions your honor?
