If it were home cooked and all natural or organic I might be more likely to be on board but a hot dog, mac &amp; cheese, frozen peas and half an orange would cost you $2 max if you made it at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-pay-per-meal-plan-at-dcp#post-1616395 Tue, 06 May 2014 13:01:07 +0000 Raindrop 1616395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: That food does look good for a kid... but still yeah that price is crazy. I pay less than that for my lunches at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-pay-per-meal-plan-at-dcp#post-1616367 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:54:45 +0000 sunny 1616367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I agree! I just pack her leftovers everyday. I've seen some parents send frozen meals in a pinch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-pay-per-meal-plan-at-dcp#post-1616359 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:53:38 +0000 swurlygurl 1616359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woah, that does seem high. Awfully convenient, but something I would have to skip. Although, I'm just fairly cheap in general, so there's probably no price I'd want to pay... haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-pay-per-meal-plan-at-dcp#post-1616346 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:51:59 +0000 Mamaof2 1616346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I agree its the convenience and I thought about doing 1 day a week but I have 2 kids - so that's around $11.25 for 2 kids lunches - too much for me when I can pack leftovers from dinner </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-pay-per-meal-plan-at-dcp#post-1616337 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:48:23 +0000 sunny 1616337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare has a company that they contract with to cater lunches and it is around $4-5 for each lunch. The containers seem fairly big for a young toddler, they are probably enough for a 4 year old. </p> <p>It seems expensive for what you get but I think most of the cost is paying for the convenience of it. We haven't ordered any yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-pay-per-meal-plan-at-dcp#post-1616331 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:45:53 +0000 Mamaof2 1616331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: yes per meal!</p> <p>@lavender: nothing fancy - chicken strips, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese - then fresh veggies and fruit as sides.</p> <p>I can make better lunches for less $$! </p> [attach=4342/14/n55yoi.480x320.Baked-Chicken-Fingers-with-Pasta-_Apple-Sauce-and-Broccoli-3.jpg] [attach=4342/14/n55yoj.480x320.French-Bread-Pizza-Pasta-Apple-Sauce-and-Broccoli-2.jpg] [attach=4342/14/n55yol.480x320.Hot-Dog-Mac-and-Cheese-Orange-Slices-an-_Peas-4.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-pay-per-meal-plan-at-dcp#post-1616327 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:44:41 +0000 Smurfette 1616327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: That does seem high. We pay $3.20 a day for lunch for R right now. I don't know if the cost goes up as LO ages. I had to pick her room and then I just sign up for what days I want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-pay-per-meal-plan-at-dcp#post-1616322 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:43:21 +0000 lavender 1616322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's included in our tuition.
