Oh my god we are in the same situation!
I have three kids under 4.
I sit down when they are all in bed and think of all the dinners I want to cook this week and write out every ingredient. Then do the same for lunches, breakfast and snacks. Then make the list in order your grocery store has it layed out. Don't get anything not on your list, to make sure you do this go through and figure out how much it will cost add $20 and use cash, don't take any more cash than that and you won't spend too much money next time. I usually spend for my family of 5 about $225 for groceries and cleaning stuff every week. Hope this helps you. Email me if you want some kid friendly meal ideas that are cheap.
