Great advice from both of you
I showed dh last night how much I've been over pouring, and I've actually been pouring an extra cup per day/ per child- ridiculous! I've done a lot of thinking about this, and I am going to do what you advise- I think it will be a lot easier to lower her rate than to have to run around to various stores each week looking for the best price on organic. Thanks again to everyone that responded.
