    Now getting enough fruit and vegetables in your diet (and your children's) is important, but it doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg.

    I'll admit I spent far too much money on my first child. In fact some people spend less then I did on multiples. Did she need a $60 plush monkey that the Beatles when you pulled his tail? No, but I wanted it dammit.

    Then I got pregnant for the second time. I was no longer working. We were relying on one single income and had the added costs of extra food, power, gas, from me being home full time with our first child.

    There are hidden pit falls when grab if a bargain, let me tell you the top five.

    5. Smaller is cheaper, therefore it's a saving.
    FALSE. A 1kg bag of flour may cost 99c and 2kg might cost say $1.20, but if you use 2kg of flour in a month in a fortnight it will cost you $1.20 to buy one bag instead of $1.98 to buy 1kg per week. This works for ...
