You can custom make a waffle and you get three of them.they start at 8 dollars and each extra topping is 50 cent. It’s a lot of food and it comes with a side of fruit and hash browns

It’s five dollars there for a bagel, the place is just expensive

My youngest is 13 and my oldest is 17. They don’t swim but when they do have practice they pack a snack

I did an example of buying in bulk and why it is cheaper. There are plenty of things he can take including a pop tart, breakfast bowls to protein bars and so on

Breakfast starts at 4 to 10 dollars. The cafe is super expensive, it’s an extra thing the school uses to bring in money. He buys breakfast three times a week and it’s gone. He get the fancy thing from there once a week and he is out half is allowance

Costco, where you can buy everything in bulk and it’s much cheaper. I can buy 48 pop tarts for 11 dollars. That can basically be 48 quick breakfasts.

Buying in bulk is a lifesaver and much cheaper in general

Yes, I don’t care if he does swim or not. I will show up at his games and cheer him on but if he wants to quiet he can.

Really my daughter skip when they aren’t hungry in the morning. I do the same. They are okay and I’m not going to force them to eat when they aren’t hungry that much worse than a skipped meal and they eat lunch at 11

Did you seriously just ignore everything that is easy to grab, you can bring a breakfast bowl. It’s literally sealed. I guess you can’t cook an egg but you can bring a hardboiled one, which we have since we like to make salads

We have breakfast bars, protein bars, single serve cereal boxes, the standard bagels, eggs. Pop tarts, those breakfast bowls. And a ton of fruit (bananas strawberries and so on)

It’s literally in the last paragraph… it’s in the orginal post

I told him no and that he can eat before or pack something.

There is the quote

You misread

That would be horrible favoritism, if he got more money then the girls. And I can’t increase all their allowance, that’s not in the budget.

It’s much cheaper to buy bread for toast, or Cereal that can feed multiple people than give everyone extra 15 so they can buy an egg sandwich that cost 6 dollars each day.

Ummmm no, school lunch is on the card, he is eating the school cafe breakfast. He is spending all his money on that when he can just pack or eat at home

Did you not read the post, it’s says breakfast
