Friday is pizza day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048635 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 08:22:50 +0000 MrsTiz 1048635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was younger (Elementary) my mom always packed my lunch. Middle she did about half &amp; half. Highschool I bought it everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048630 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 08:21:22 +0000 Koolbreeze 1048630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always bought my lunch. In elementary school I spent an entire year switching luches with my BFF who brought her lunch. Her parents wouldn't let her buy lunch and I was sick of school food. Haha. I'll pack lunch for my kids though. Maybe let them buy lunch once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048628 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 08:20:44 +0000 Boheme 1048628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a mix - I looked at the menu each week and told my mom what days I wanted to bring my lunch. </p> <p>Schools around here serve junk, so I will send lunch with DS when he goes to school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048616 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 08:16:32 +0000 blackbird 1048616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my own lunch until we moved. Then lunch was $1.50 or so, so it was cheaper to buy. It was a small school; the lunch lady often made things we wanted (her daughter was on the basketball team with me, so we got a lot of influence, lol!) </p> <p>LO will take, unless the school lunches get a lot better around here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048561 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:59:35 +0000 MapleMoose 1048561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed my own lunch. I prefer food from home rather than the stuff they served at school. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048549 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:56:54 +0000 Rubies 1048549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In grade school I brought my lunch, which were really boring and I always wanted to buy but couldn't. My kids will be taking a lunch and I hope I'm diligent enough to make them interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048542 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:55:51 +0000 Smurfette 1048542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always brought my lunch. I still remember my plain black lunch box with a butterfly my Mom painted on it for me. </p> <p>I will pack a lunch for R or let her buy, what ever she wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048538 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:55:20 +0000 looch 1048538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought our lunch, sandwiches mostly. I knew we ran out of cold cuts when I got cream cheese and jelly, I still can not eat that to this day!</p> <p>We would only be able to buy lunch for the week, not the day, occassionally I would be allowed to buy a weekly ice cream ticket...no idea if that's still possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048531 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:53:48 +0000 JerricaBenton 1048531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom packed my lunch every day even through high school. I plan to do the same for lo. I have such nice memories of opening up my lunch to see what she packed and sometimes she'd send little notes. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048526 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:49:56 +0000 Mrsbells 1048526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took packed lunch everyday except fridays when I was allowed to have a school lunch. I think I will have a similar set up for my daughter. Right now she is daycare and even though they offer a hot meal in the toddler room I will pack her a lunch </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048523 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:49:08 +0000 Bao 1048523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought and bought equally I think. I brought my lunch more when I was younger though. I'm not sure what LO will do. Depends on what she wants I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048511 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:41:53 +0000 Adira 1048511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always bought and that's probably what Xander will have to do. One less thing for me to worry about in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048500 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:37:44 +0000 NavyRN2012 1048500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought. My mom never packed our lunches. We pack ODS's lunch unless he asks to buy that day (which is super rare). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048498 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:37:29 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1048498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my parents had time and I cooperated I brought my lunch. Otherwise I bought it. By junior high I always bought it. I could barely get my locker open 3-4 tries, so I tried to avoid having to go in there as much as possible. Buying lunch saved time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunch#post-1048475 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:29:29 +0000 mediagirl 1048475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you take or buy?</p> <p>Will your child take or buy?</p> <p>My mom always packed my lunch. Sometimes I would beg and she would let me buy when there was pizza boat Friday. :)</p> <p>I will pack for my daughter. I pack her lunch now, I don't see a problem with continuing that all through her schooling. </p>
