We shop once a week, but by midweek the preferred after-school snacks are gone and everybody blames somebody else. I'd rather plan portions visibly than police the cupboard. Anyone tried a shared system that older children don't hate?

    Let children help choose the week's options so they understand the trade-offs.

    A separate basket for each school day makes the supply obvious without arguments.
