[ I didnt want to deprive the boys of anything, and I definetly don't want to go crazy over budget with groceries or anything like that by trying to switch things for me. We're a small family just starting out (we were highschool sweethearts that had a baby while still in highschool)..[/quote]

I feel your pain about the groceries! My husband and I didn't start as young as you but we have four kids under 6 1/2 and they eat over $100 a week in groceries and that is without buying any meat. I can hardly wait until they are bigger and my two baby boys are teens!!! I have a feeling I'll be shopping twice as often!
