In the elementary schools it is .80 for breakfast, $1.35 for lunch, and .35 for milk alone. I just pack my children's lunches every day.

.35 for extra milk

I really do not mind the 1.40 for lunch if they eat. What bugs me is that I end up paying $1.40 for the "cookie cup," or I only ate the _________. (Insert answer here) They beg to eat lunch but I have always said no. Perhaps I will talk to DH about trying it this year.

Lunch is $1.60 at the elementary schools (includes milk) and $2.00 at the Jr. High. Last year they had an a la carte line at the Jr. High that was a separate acct. DD and I talked about it and I allowed her to spend up to $2.00 day in that line as long as she wasn't buying junk (we defined appropriate foods together). But I think they did away with that this year.

Our kids attend a private school. The elementary school lunches are $3.00. Milk is not included and costs and additional .40.

The Junior/Senior High lunches are $3.50 including a drink of their choice.
