A lot of the families on the shows are like mine, 5 to 8 person families that are struggling to make ends meet. We keep about enough to survive a month on if something were to happen.

We don't buy a bunch of stuff we don't or won't use, yet at the same time, our church collects a different item each month for various charity's and if we can go in with coupons and buy that item in bulk for little of nothing then God bless us.

Since we have started we are saving anywhere from $200 to $400 a month on our food/supplies bill. That is a huge savings that can be used for things that we otherwise could not afford to do for our girls.

my only question is, how much processed food are you eating/having to eat because of this?

we try to stick with fresh/not processed....except for Mac-n-Cheese... which you cannot have enough of IMHO....shhh dont tell PO that!
