That's not very much unless it is cheap where you live. You certainly
couldn't do that here! I spend about $25 a week on gas alone. I have no
clue how much diapers cost these days. But 12 years ago they weren't cheap.
I'd say at least $20 a week with two kids who wear them. That doesn't leave
much for food.

income, you would.

Eat beans. They contain both carbs and protein.
