    up to 2 LARGE boxes cereal and some porridge
    1 tube of toothpaste weekly to fortnightly depending on if ds eats it or not other wize its every 3 days thats for kids adults use 1 every 3 weeks
    1 roll to 2 rolls of toilet paper dailey.
    about 30 eggs every 4 weeks (we buy large tray eggs every 4 weeks)
    so how much do you go through?

    lol in comparison we eat barely anything! Although DF doesn't eat breakfast, and rarely has lunch.

    1-2 litres of milk
    1/2 loaf of bread
    Lucky to use 6 eggs in a month, depends if I bake anything or not.
    Toilet paper- i don't keep count, but we dont buy it very often
    Everything else we don't use much at all.

    Probably the main thing we go through is junk food (DF)!

    2 adults, 2 kids

    Milk 6-9litres - depends on baking and if DH is drinking a lot due to reflux
    Bread - 2-3 homemade loves, plus 1 store bought (sometimes a pack of wraps)
    Eggs - 1-2 dozen per week. Lots of baking here, plus we have our own chooks, so often eggs on toast for lunch
    Toilet paper - 1 roll per day
    Toothpaste - 1 every 3 weeks
    Cheese - 500g per week, more if baking something that requires grated cheese
    Cereal - 1 to 2 boxes per week. So dependent on what type and who is eating it

    Hmm.

    Milk - about 12 litres
    Bread - about 1 loaf (but I might bake some too, eg, if we want crusty garlic bread with a meal)
    Eggs - about a dozen a week
    Toilet paper - no idea. Maybe 1 or 2 rolls a week? Both boys still in nappies.
    Toothpaste - seems to last forever. I am very economical with my toothpaste.
    Cheese - about 250g a week? That probably averages out over a month.
    Cereal - a box a week or fortnight, depending on if I eat brekky or not.

    The other things I find we go through are butter (for baking, cooking and spreading), apples (only food the boys are allowed to help themselves to), bananas (I buy about 5 a week when they're exy and when they're gone they're gone til the next week, when they're cheap we go nuts), and things like sugar, flour and cream. That is not sounding very waistline-healthy is it....

    It's just me, DD and her Daddy all in this house.

    3-6L of milk a week depending on how much we let miss drink (seriously, 3 cups at bedtime?! Me thinks NOT child!!!!)

    2-3 loaves of bread a week depending on if miss has toast for breaky

    Cereal 1 a month because only miss eats it and she only eats wheetbix.

    loo paper - 1 every 2 days? (remembering we're only home on weekends and DD and I are home Tuesdays)

    Eggs - pft. 1 egg every blue moon?! We go through phases...

    Cheese - lasts a maximum of 2 days here. Seriously! Have to sneak the stuff into the house or miss inhales it! Even if I stick it in the freezer she'll inhale it the second she sniffs it out!

    Toothpaste - 1 a month for me and I clean twice a day. DD has her own.

    Oh gee!

    Ok, here we go.

    Milk: a 3lt bottle a day, so 21lts a week.
    Bread: 1 a day so 7 in a week.
    Cereal: Depends on the box size, but usually a large box per fortnight. My older kids most eat toast.
    Toilet Paper: We go through a 12pk in a week.
    Eggs: Usually about 18 in a week... depends on how much baking I have been doing.
    Cheese: We usually go through a 24pk of slices and a kg block in a week.
    Toothpaste: 2 tubes per fortnight.
    Cordial: 2 x 2lt bottles a week.

    This is for me, DH, DS who is 15, DD who is 12 and DS who is 2.
