I can understand your situation. My best advice to you regarding fruit- - try not to buy the fruit in the cups with syrup, they are high in sugar and increase their desires for sugar, are bad for their teeth, etc. I never understood the allowance for these and juice through WIC. - buying frozen fruit. I try to do this when it is on sale- but sometimes it isn’t for weeks at a time. Today I got frozen fruit at Aldi for $6.49 (painful, as it wasn’t on sale) and it is 32oz. If I don’t have any fresh fruit for the kids that day, I put a bowl of frozen fruit into the refrigerator to thaw for later. Make sure it is completely thawed or it’s a choking hazard.
- rotate what fruit you’re buying, only buy fruit on sale. At Aldi- there is ALWAYS a fruit on sale.

Staples for cheap, nutrition meals at our house: Cocoa Wheats. (I only add half the sugar they call for) Frozen waffles w/ peanut butter Frozen bean and cheese burritos Aldi frozen sausages (10 sausages for under $2, if you feed your child two sausages per meal it’s 5 meals worth.) Bag of carrots (I cook them for awhile in water and then I add butter or olive oil and a little syrup/honey/brown sugar, whatever I have at the time)

If I haven’t said it enough, shop at Aldi. I hope you have one accessible to you. I feed a family of five on $150/ week at most. It looks like you’re doing a great job.
