Buying Food

[kimnolan87]

Hiya,

Quick question:

When buying food, do you:

- buy all the food for the week / month that you'll need for mindees and keep separate from household food

Or

- buy all food together and work out just what you use for the mindees?

Thanks,

I buy everything I need for the week and seeing as I'm feeding my own children the same things as I'm feeding the mindees and sometimes myself and OH are also having the same I just couldn't separate it all. It all gets put away and eaten as needed and as per my weekly menus.

Im only providing lunch at the moment and we all eat the same so I dont bother seperating it.

Thanks,

If doing it this way, how do you work out the food cost for your expenses?

I'm hoping to find the simplest and easiest way to be honest, as maths is NOT my strong point!! Lol!

i go through the til receipt highlighting what i bought for mindees and if i'll use half a packet of something then i write half the £ at the side & highlight that! ( i usually find it easier to buy 2 of an item and highlight one, or do it week & week about )
