School Food

[alaklain]

Well heres the problem, the only meal I eat at home is dinner, the rest are at school because in the morning I'm always in a rush to leave and can't even grab atleast a bagel or anything on the way. (I sleep until the verge of late)

I usually get an orange juice and if they have something that looks a little healthy for breakfast I'll get it.

But at lunch, nothing is healthy. Fries (FAT), burger (GREASE), everything else (GREASE OR FAT), and I hate plain salads, and the only kind of dressing they have is ranch, which doesn't taste good in my opinion.

I don't really know what to do. I know school is almost up, but I'd like to get this solved for next year and stuff. I don't leave campus for lunch until I get my license, which is December. Thanks

Bring a lunch. It can be very cheap to do so if you plan it right. How much does a school lunch cost weekly? I'll try to plan something out for you.

$8 a week for lunch

That would be so awesome if you could do that! I'm not very good with nutrition.

Okay.. $8

In my lunch, I usually bring just a sandwich, bottled water (Reused, fill it up in the tap), and some crackers.

It may cost a little more than $8, with the cost of bread and meat (Well, my sandwich is just bread and meat)

Bread - $1.70
Meat - $2.99
Crackers - $2.50
Chips - $2.00

Total w/ Texas tax -- $9.95

Do you have any reccomendations on types of sandwhiches? I only make ham, cheese and mustard. Not too creative and I think that would get to repetitive.

Thanks!

Just a bit more detail....

Bread- Mrs. Bairds - $1.70

Meat - HEB meat, shaved, brown sugar ham- $2.99

Crackers -Keeblers Club Snack Sticks (Basically crackers in a stick form, they're really good) -$2.50

Chips -Variety- $2.00


I've eaten this meal every day at lunch all year this year.. It gets very old, but the chips.. well, the variety helps a bit. Also, you can get creative and pour some kool-aid in the water bottle ;D
