Well, I guess after seeing everyone's numbers I'm not quite as concerned about the waste in my house. I spend $100/month for daycare kids -- that's 4 or 5 kids, 5 days a week, with 2 meals and 3 snacks (fruit with every meal/snack + veggies & meat at lunch). That's in Canadian dollars, too, so it's not bad. I think the majority of my costs are in utilities -- water/sewer and electricity, and of course, curriculum. Food wastage is so much more obvious though ...
