$0.85 per day or $1.00 even if you got 2 chocolate milks
Mine was a .75 a week,, I remember the buzz when it hit a $1 a week. I liked that better cause I didn’t have to remember to take the change out of my rolled up Levi’s. Chocolate milk wasn’t an option.. I musta been a decade or so before?

I went to a private school. We had tacos (the best), pizza hut, blue plates by the day, beignets, fresh baked cookies, candy, salad bar, pepsi products, sweet, unsweet tea. That's all that I can remember or just the ones I ate.

Spinach the day after the grass was cut in grade school at St Anthony on Canal street
Lol. When I read the first post, I immediately thought of spinach after the grass was cut. And I went to St Anthony on Canal Street too. 8 years of elementary school. What years were you there? My 8th grade year was 1971.

I used to eat with my kids all the time when they were in elementary school. Great meal for under $5. Now, I meet my SIL at my nephew's school once or twice a year. Love the school lunch.

I remember in Rapides Parish in the 90's we used to have something called "Farmer Jones Special". Still don't know what the heck it was. I loved the square pizza always served with corn and "super beefy nachos"... and of course the yeast rolls and peanut butter cake/bars things. I don't think they give the kids dessert any more.

The best part was the milk in the bag, but once I got to high school they brought food like chicfila in which was awesome
We had half pint cartons. My kids school had bag milk and it was like drinking a breast implant. But they also had Chef Pat and when they let him take care of his own budget the guy cooked good stuff.
We had the homemade yeast rolls and Meatball Macall ate 32 of them with 16 half pints of milk in the 6th grade for $5.00.
My brothers college roommate was also a Kleinpeter routeman with a school route. Their fridge was always full of half pint carton of white and chocolate milk.
High school I went home for lunch or when I was a senior Gaynell Tensley would send me in his truck to Pinetta’s to pick up his lunch a couple days a week and he would buy me a lasagna for the effort.

Those rectangular pizza slices were the bomb. Also the no bake cookies. If you got both of those on the same day that was the best day ever.

I eat it almost daily.
$3.50 a day I guess they have to recoup $$ from all those free breakfast and lunches... School I teach give 100% free lunch/breakfast

Oven-baked grilled cheese w/ tomato soup was my fav.
Also had "T-bolt sandwiches" Oven baked grilled mozzerella cheese sandwich with tangy tomato sauce and pepperoni.

Went to Catholic school for 1st-8th. I remember red beans and rice with cornbread and greens every Monday, and either fish sticks during Lent on Fridays, or hot dogs - but they only had ketchup, and even as a kid I wanted mustard on my dog! Also the half pints of milk which when you went to turn in your tray after eating someone was there to shake your milk carton and send you back to finish it. I was not a milk drinker so that was traumatic. You couldn't bring your lunch unless you had a doctor's note saying you had to be on a special diet!
High school was a small school and the "cafeteria" was basically a room with a counter and a toaster oven, and they sold Stewart sandwiches. The choices were hamburger, cheeseburger, hot dog, or pizza. I remember them being pretty bad so I brought the same thing for lunch every day - olive loaf sandwich with mustard. Anyone know if those Stewart sandwiches are still around? This was mid 1970's.

The olive loaf comment made me LOL....during my junior year of HS, several friends and I decided to do a round robin of packed lunches: a different person would pack everyone's lunch each day of the week. (I have no idea why we weren't eating the cafeteria food; there was probably some reason.) Mon was fine, friend made a bunch of egg salad sandwiches. Tues, good, next in the rotation showed up with cheese & crackers and apples. But Wednesday killed it: ol' Jack showed up w/a pound of olive loaf and a wrapper of Bunny Bread, and some squeeze packets of mayo. The rest of the posse immediately quit and returned to the cafeteria....he thought it was hysterical and ate 4-5 olive loaf sandwiches himself that day. (I only had one.)

We had the milk gestapo too in elementary school. I drink milk so it never bothered me but if it wasn’t finished that last bit of warm milk was hard to get down.
And I went from kindergarten through high school with one girl who had a peanut allergy and she brought her own lunch every day. That, until about ten years ago, was the only person I ever knew with that allergy. Now every third kid has it.

this thread has an old school life of it's own...in the 70's everything was made in house...no frozen chicken nuggets, the yeast rolls were the bomb...like everyone else in S La, we had red beans, sausage, corn bread and green salad on monday, spaghetti and meatbealls , green salad on tuesday, Chile over rice and cornbread on Wednesday...cant remember thurs/fri... but it was good eating...my grandkids bring lunch to school instead of the frozen shite they serve today

One thing about it, school lunch isn't what it once was. I thought it was good back in the day, the stuff they try to feed my son sucks! Probably why he takes his lunch.
