Meals Are a Full-Time Job
One of the first things most people wonder about a large family is how to feed them. It takes a lot of work to make meals daily for a family of four, so imagine cooking for twelve people! Amanda keeps on top by planning all their meals for the entire month and does one big food shopping trip of around $1350 monthly.
She doesn’t need to worry about figuring out the entire month’s menu. Instead, she plans for half the month and then repeats the menu. She also doesn’t insist on setting the menu for each day but only ensures they have enough to get through that month. It’s best to keep things pretty flexible.
