[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What am I packing for lunch?  Nothing.  4 kids 10 and under in DCPS.  Hot lunch is cheap.  If they don't like what's on the menu they can make themselves a lunch.[/quote]

How much is lunch? In FCPS it's like $3 a day. So 3x4=12, and 12x5=60, and let's say there are about 40 weeks of school that's $2,400 for the school year! Seems a lot to me. My child buys on average once a month, probably less. [/quote

At our DCPS, it is $2.10/day. I would imagine a packed lunch costs about the same. DD eats hot lunch around 60% of the time, at her request. It has helped her try new foods and she has liked many of them, which is huge for her because she was always been averse to new foods (I had to coax her into trying jelly), and it has saved us a ton of time. I love hot lunch days.

Hell yeah! I'd be having my kid buy the school lunch too, if it were $2.10! I hate everything that goes into packing daily lunches, but I'm not spending $3 every day for the crap lunches they serve in FCPS. [/quote]
