What do you think about the 13,000 yen range for food expenses for middle and high school boys?

→ @ yuko.life358

Honestly, food is expensive 😂

When there are boys in junior high and high school

Not really in an instant...

Every time someone says, "Not enough."

I'm standing in the kitchen thinking... again

Moreover, with recent high prices

If you shop with the same feeling as before, it will go over normally...

i can't manage it properly

There are many days when it is makeshift 😂

To be honest, I can't afford it at all

but i'm happy that you eat properly

I wonder if this is only for now

being able to work from home

I'm trying to make ends meet, but

Honestly, it's just barely

How is everyone's place?

How much does food cost in the midst of high prices?

If you have a similar mom

I would be happy if you could follow ☺️

(By the way, this time it was 13,977 yen)

Food for a week

The food expenses

食べ盛りの中高生男子がいる家庭では、食費は日々の大きな悩みの種ですよね。私も同じ経験がありますが、13,000円台の1週間の食費は決して多いわけではなく、食べる量が多い分、バランスよく買い物して上手くやりくりするのが肝心だと感じています。最近の物価高は家計にかなり響きます。例えば、お肉や野菜の値段が上がっているので、まとめ買いをしたり、安売りの日を狙ったりすることが重要です。また、塩麹漬けなどの簡単調理で美味しくヘルシーなメニューを作る工夫も効果的です。買い出しから帰ってくるたびに冷蔵庫の中をチェックし、あるもので手早く献立を決めることも節約のポイントになります。子どもたちは成長期でお腹がペコペコですが、質より量になりがちな食事を、栄養バランスを考えつつ無理なく続けるには、在宅ワークなどで時間を確保し、計画的な買い物と料理が欠かせません。私も完璧に管理できず、その場しのぎで回す日もありますが、苦労しつつも子どもがしっかり食べてくれるとやっぱり嬉しいものです。他のママさんたちの食費事情を聞いてみると、それぞれ工夫の仕方が違い、励みになります。みんなで情報交換をしながら、物価高の中で少しでも楽に家計管理できる方法を見つけられたらいいですね。フォローし合って支え合うコミュニティがあると心強いです。

The image displays the title "Your Guide to a High Yield Savings Account" over a background of bundled hundred-dollar bills inside a car, emphasizing financial growth.

The image defines a High Yield Savings Account (HYSA) as a savings account that pays 4-5%+ interest at online banks, significantly more than the 0.01% at regular banks.

The image illustrates the power of compounding interest, showing that $5,000 in a normal savings account earns $0.50 annually, while in a HYSA, it earns $200-$250 annually.

Why You NEED a High Yield Savings Account 💸

If your money is just sitting in a regular savings account earning pennies… it’s basically losing value 💀. A High Yield Savings Account (HYSA) is a savings account that actually PAYS you. Instead of 0.01% interest at a traditional bank, many online banks are offering 4–5% interest right now.
