Good morning everyone! Well, it is going to be a busy 4 days here and we are cooking & baking up a storm. Matter of fact…there is 4 of us here today and it will be nonstop for an upcoming family thing this weekend. By the time Monday rolls around, I will be completely exhausted and I just pulled an all-nighter and going to get some shuteye shortly.
Anyway, our grand daughter is entering Kindergarten in late August and we are super excited to have a little one entering school. However, when my daughter told me that Gia’s lunches will cost $3.89 per day I about fell over. I mean really? Those lunches are not that dang good at all and to be almost $4.00 a day? No wonder the parents are yapping about this as I would be too. Miss Gia will be packing “healthy” lunches 4 days a week and buying lunch 1 day a week at school.
How much do your kids pay for school lunch? Do you feel it is reasonable for what they get or way too expensive for it? I would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Can you imagine paying the $4.00 every day for a whole school year. I liked the idea of sometimes making your own lunchables so you wouldn’t have to buy one everyday. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or tuna sandwiches are great options, too. There are so many things you can do and ways to do it cheaper. Plus, you can let your child have a say and learn about different foods and nutrition. Yes, it does take time and effort on your part too though so I guess you weigh what you can do. My kids mostly ate from home only eating an occasional school lunch. Very few things did they enjoy off their trays and found waiting in the lines to be more a hassle and didn’t allow for much time to eat and relax.
Kindergarten is an exciting time, and I’m sure Princess Gia will love it and enjoy her one day a week lunch.
