How long would this amount last you ?

500g bag of granola
2x 500g pots of yogurt
3x packs of berries (smallish is 300g each)

I’m getting annoyed as my teenager is going through this in 2 days and it’s meant to last linger and be for everyone to have some of her she will eat it in the night saying it’s ‘posh’ granola and only she deserved the good stuff ??
I feel like getting a fridge in my room tbh and hiding some of it

Oh I’d be cutting her access to the “posh” food off immediately, hide the expensive non perishables and buy cheap yogurt, bread and peanut butter, frozen berries and get her to bake some cookies or muffins as snacks, making granola is very easy, cheap and customisable . Her attitude needs a sharp readjustment and making her partially responsible for feeding herself and the family (snacks) is a good way to teach her a lesson in sharing, humility, cooking and budgeting. A very teachable moment I think.
