Depending on what Trader Joe's has, it can cost me anywhere from $1.79 to as much as $2.69 per pound if I have to go to Whole Foods. With limited time on my hands, I add to that, pre-made items either from TJ or from the coop, or from WF. (normally half of one serving) which is not particularly inexpensive. This is the price I pay for working longer hours. When the kids get older, maybe you can all garden together, either at home or at a community garden, and have those chicken coops you've mentioned. That will definitely help. And so will the planning. There is nothing worse than having to toss something out because of poor planning. --- One more thought. Would it help you to have an additional freezer? Or perhaps a weekend of canning veggies with your pals? m. xoxoxoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
