If so, it's not much, and I do have another child to feed. Plus this year I'm going to be saving a TON by joining a CSA and canning a bunch of fruit and vegetables so that we can make use of all that local, in-season produce instead of having to buy the canned stuff commercially later. I expect our groceries bills to drop more this year. I would say the real foods lifestyle is more expensive initially as you are making swaps, but once you really get rid of processed foods and source good food at good prices and start to do a lot of cooking, it just gets cheaper and cheaper. And I personally find it fulfilling to source, purchase, and prepare excellent food for my family! .-= Kate´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.modernalternativemama.com/blog/2010/3/17/thoughts-on-children.html" rel="nofollow">Thoughts on Children</a> =-.

Would you mind sharing, again, the name of the book? I need to start baking our bread--all of the breads at the store have milk/soy, or they cost $6 a loaf...ick. I'd much rather be in charge of what goes into what we're eating. Thanks! I know you posted about a bread book you are using and that you’ve been making your own bread.

My 5-week old was diagnosed with a very severe milk/soy allergy at 2 1/2 weeks. (He can't even have Nutramigen because he has severe reactions to that!) So, I have completely eliminated dairy/soy from my diet, which is easier said than done. Soy is in everything! I can't rely on packaged and processed foods anymore, so I'm doing lots more cooking of whole foods. I appreciate the ideas she shared today--especially finding more protein ideas that aren't meat.

I agree on the water. Not only is water cheap, it is much healthier than all the sugar filled drinks that people drink. Great tips! I agree on the water.
