Is cooking from scratch really that much cheaper? I love to cook from scratch but when we buy all the ingredients for 6 dinners and then things for breakfast, lunch and snacks we are going way over our budget. On top of that we still have to buy non-food items. We have our menu made up, know what we have to buy, and some things can be used for another meal-spices and such but I would say on a average when we are cooking from scratch we are going over budget by $50-$100 dollars. There are 6 of us in the family and we want to eat very healthy for health reasons and just because we know it is best for us but we literally can't afford to.
Does anyone else have this problem or are we doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
