How much do school lunches cost today?

Like somebody else stated, it all depends on the school and your family income.. i almost never eat school cafeteria food since i find it quite repulsive, so i bring my own sack lunch. but when i do eat there, i usually have to pay no more than $3.

our college had a terrific cafeteria. there replaced into the vegetable plate (e.g., mashed potatoes with gravy, and creamed corn), the single meat plate, and the two meat plate. Meats may well be a meat pie, a ham steak, or issues like that. those have been 10, 15, and 20 cents while i began out. Juice replaced into 5 cents, milk 10. Jello or pudding 5 cents, pie replaced into 10. Hamburgers and chips on Tuesdays, Fish and Chips on Fridays. by utilising the time I hit grade 12 (in 1977), the fees had lengthy gone up slightly: 15, 25, and 35 cents for the nutrition, and different issues up a pair of nickel or so. think of: 2 hamburgers and a plate of chips for 35 cents! Even McDonald's replaced into approximately quadruple that, or extra. the guy that ran the area retired in simple terms once I graduated, and that they won't locate every person which could come close to to offering the nutrition that he did at everywhere close to the fees he could. It seems he replaced right into a genius at offering stable, nutritious nutrition, and an extremely low fee. Mr. Szamata, while you're accessible - thank you for each and all the great grub by using the years! I additionally undergo in suggestions how we used to ***** with regard to the nutrition. We did not understand in simple terms how stable we had it!

When my father went to school it was 5 shillings for 5 days.That's 25 p in todays money.5p a day but you were a brave man if you could eat it. I always went home for lunch

Depends. High school gives you selection and charges you based on your family income, a bit socialist for Texas.

today they are a ripoff. $2 for a pie. and for a choc milk $3:50. you were lucky
