Lotsa bread, lotsa pasta, lotsa potatoes. I called it cheap filler, and cook more of what they don't like, a nice cabbage soup before dinner slows them down a bit.
I have teenagers

Haha...I don't have teenagers yet, but I remember my brother and I going through a gallon and a half of milk a day. What were our parents supposed to say? Don't drink milk?? Our current grocery bill is crazy, and the oldest is 9. Soon, its gonna get worse.
My brother, sister, and I knew how to cook, so the 'cook your own food' cure wouldn't have worked. Hell, we were raised right, so if we got hungry enough, we coulda just went outside and butchered us a steer. My dad woulda been glad he didn't have to do it. We also had lots of chores and activities as well as jobs, so we were somewhat self sufficient, but that stuff makes you hungry!
Good luck Shiny. You're gonna need it.

Someone at the gym told me today that grandchildren is your reward for not strangling your teenagers.

Don't buy any food. Make them buy it. (Might need some work on the detials of this idea.)

Hope I don't sound tacky here, but remember to enjoy them while you can my friend. If you're like me, all too soon you'll look around and they'll be gone. Hope you don't find one day that you miss these "problems" as much as I do. Seems like just yesterday I came home from work to two squealing little girls who couldn't wait to hug daddy. I often wonder as I look around my full refrigerator and my empty house, where did the time go?

How true. My son lives away but comes home for holidays. Its so good to see him and his lady when the get here. Our time apart has brought us closer together which is the best. My daughter still lives at home and my wife and I would not have it any other way at the moment. The cost of food, power, water, telephone, Internet, and so on is nothing compared to having them around.
Best regards to all parents and their kids.

Well you know johnny80s, you could just adopt SkooterG! SkootyG would just love to squeal out loud and to call you his Daddy, he would also dry hump your leg while he is hugging you too!

I'm about 6-8 years behind you right now and am already doing some advanced planning/tactics. Good luck.

Good to read that I'm not the only one here with teenage issues... :lol: With only one teenage boy and between food, gas, lights, cell phone and hot water, sometimes I think I'm ready to lift off.
Interesting lesson last week during the PNW storms. Ran on generator for a few hours and had the kid keep it full of fuel. Every time the fridge or freezer would come on he would hear the generator load up. Had him going around the house adding up *watts* and then started attaching $$$ to them. He got it then...though since utility power came back all the lights are back on in the house. :angry2:

So the message is, don't shoot them, love them while you can, stock no goodies or hide the ones you buy, grow your food or buy cheap disgusting food nobody wants to eat. and hope they leave the house early, but visit often... Okaaaay.

The way you trash talk poor SkooterG you would think that he is the product of a donkey humping a cactus.
