Trader Joe's is so reasonable and most of their stuff is really good and good for you. At $300 a week I have to think you are buying juice in boxes, too many snacky things in their own little package and not enough fresh veggies and fruit. When my kids were lttle, I would make a menu for the week then make my grocery list from that using coupons whenever possible. I also had a discount thing on my key ring for the grocery store. I always bought juice in the big bottles, cut up fresh veggies ahead so they were available for a quick snack, made apples or bananas fun with peanut butter. Frozen peas in a cup was favorite snack...crunchy, pretty and portable...not messy. No POP! Water or juice. To this day my kids all prefer water (they are 31, 28 and 26) Snacky foods that have alot of carbs make you hungry and they really don't have any good food value. Be mindful of portion size so you either don't have any leftovers or you have enough leftovers for hubby's lunch or yours for the next day. All the best to you!
