This is for a four person household, with young children... one shouldn't judge the help people need, as someone who understands because of the chosen career choice and group of people that I am going to be blessed to work with that comment was very rude and hurtful for those who aren't so lucky in the finance area.

I'm doing the 10 day challenge now! I start tomorrow but I'm premaking a few things, and I'm attempting to make sweet tea with honey just so when I'm just not in the mood for water or milk I have something that's not water... as for taste I don't know but I'll figure it out... I have my own blog about my health journey about the taste and how things are going...

We are lucky if we get to spent $130 every 2 weeks on grocery items (and also including household items), and when I saw you say that people with a full food stamp budget can spend nearly $170 a WEEK.. I just about vomited.

I recommend yogurt that is organic and made with whole milk...that is plain of course (no sweeteners or added flavoring!). You can flavor it yourself.

The back wall of the grocery store is overwhelming with all the different yogurts!

Kay - Just a suggestion...if you are on a budget (I know you said you couldn't afford to waste food) why don't you add up how much you normally spend on sweet tea (and soda for that matter) and share the figure with your husband? I bet he could buy a nice "toy" with the money he normally spends on sugary beverages. Also, in regards to making your own tea to be honest sugar is sugar no matter what type you use. Even if you made the tea with hone or maple syrup it might have a few more nutrients than the other options, but it is still sugar and should be consumed in moderation (which is why drinking it down daily is not a good thing!). I hear you though that your husband doesn't agree and who could blame him if he was raised on fast food and feels fairly healthy. I was also raised on processed food (and felt healthy), which is why I was shocked when my blood test showed that my good cholesterol (my HDL) went up by 50% after we cut out processed food...which for me was mainly white flour and sugar. Not sure if you've seen this post yet, but thought it might help...unfortunately though some adults just need their own "ah-ha" moment to fully make the switch: https://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2011/07/07/convincing-a-reluctant-spouse-to-eat-real-food/
Good luck!

Right now I'm trying to use up all of the ingredients that I have in my fridge & pantry so that I don't have any temptations (plus we really can't afford to just waste the food we already have). My biggest issue is getting my husband on board, much more of a challenge than our two young children will be. He grew up in a fast food restaurant...literally...his parents owned a fast food restaurant, so he thinks there's nothing really wrong with it. He's very physically healthy and always has been, even with the awful diet. He's agreed not to eat any fast food or non-"real" food at home or around the kids, and I've been working on recipes that will replace his favorite "fast" foods. However, the one I'm struggling most with is sweet tea. He use to buy the jugs of premade tea from the grocery store, the ones containing at least 10 ingredients I couldn't pronounce. A this point, I've been making him homemade sweet tea using tea bags and simple syrup (equal parts sugar & water). What is an equivalent to the simple syrup that I can use to replace sugar? He can tell the difference between simple syrup and just sugar, so I'm having trouble finding something that pleases his taste buds. He has agreed to stop drinking coke for the 100 days, but he "needs" his sweet tea.

I've seen them for sale at both grocery stores and Wal-Mart.
