Egg whites are so dang $$. We rarely get them. We usually have the Kashi chewy bars or breakfast bars on hand. That's $2.50ish a box on sale right there. When we're not watching what we're eating, the store brand bags of nothing-but-sugar cereal is a good price.

Oooo, we do keep quinoa around which is crazy expensive. Then we eat wheat pasta instead of white. Brown rice instead of white, etc. I guess that's where all the money goes. Then I have cases of soda. And margarita mix and wine and beer.. lol. If we got all the Greek yogurt we wanted it would be $8-$10 a week! Then we get fresh veggies and they go bad - and fruit.

We don't really buy organic. I think it's overrated. Would love to go back to feta, but that is $$. Going to anyway.. Then lunch bags and such..

I know my sister and BIL spend about the same weekly and then have a cow and I think a pig in their freezer. And when I go over there, there is nothing good to eat. Most of it has to be made - not a ton of prepackaged stuff.
