Thanks Summer! I’m so glad to hear that my little post helped in some small way. Food allergies are overwhelming to say the least. I definitely agree about the snacks. My son’s favorite phrase is “I’m still hungry!”, so I always need snacks…at home and whenever we go anywhere. Needless to say, I purchase more than I make. When I do make them, I make sure they freeze well so I can make a bunch all at once. You are definitely not alone!

Thanks for this post! I posted the original question on MSM and I received so much wonderful advice – but I think you were the only person to admit that you just don’t have the time to do everything from scratch. THANK YOU! I have found that making dinners is pretty easy – but snacks are tough to make from scratch and have on hand all the time (especially because of the wheat allergy). It’s good to know I’m not the only frugal person who doesn’t want to make everything myself!

Great tips! Thanks for posting all of your ideas. I didn’t know about the whole foods thing, I will keep that in mind next time I go there.
