I don't stinge on food either
I wouldn't do stupid but The Hubs is always telling me I spoil the kids...
But I am like, it's food - it's okay
When I have money I buy them the salmon or the steak... no money then hey
And they are good kids, they don't complain... they eat what there is :D
So, I'm with you on the food :D
By the way, The Hubs also doesn't stinge on food really
