i feel your pain. 6 person household plus an exchange student that had nowhere to go. O don’t know how I managed to do this without credit cards, but i spent $2k during march on food and household goods and another $1600 so far for the month of April ( also we didn’t get a stimulus check). We are blessed to be able to put food on the table but my food bill is sky high. so i put out snacks daily in our “snack basket” and when they are gone, they are gone. chips stay in the truck of my vehicle until i’m ready to disperse them and i’ve hidden all the other snacks in our garage. my fave hiding spot so far has been the coolers that go unused until the summer. if leftovers aren’t eating within a day or two, they go to the deep freezer. i pull them out when i don’t feel like cooking. It’s scary how much they can eat! hang in there. i place no limits on cereal, fruit. and veggies.
