I'm trying to work out what would be a fair weekly estimate to put down for food for 3 full time mindees 2 course dinners and two snacks per day plus drinks.
I buy good quality food (usually in waitrose/sainsbury), try to always get organic meat, veg, and fruit etc and only buy good cuts of meat, not pork bellies etc (Yes I am a food snob, i was married to a chef, what can I say...)
Last year I allowed 10 pounds per child (2 pounds per day) but the hipp toddler meals one parent insisted her child was fed cost more than this alone, then there is fruit, juice etc
I don't want to be dishonest but at the same time dont want to do myself. I did think about doing a percentage of our weekly shop but then realised I buy some in waitrose, some in co-op, some in Boots, some at the local shop... you get the picture...
PLease help!
Any ideas please?
