School Lunches

 Because of the pandemic and distance learning, the USDA has approved funding for distance learners to pick up food from schools.  We've enjoyed going once a week and picking up food.  It will hopefully help our food budget get back to normal.  Between trying to stock up, again and again, it's hard to keep the budget.  The kids are loving all the boxed milk, juice, sugary ceral and other lunch treats.  

The first 2 times I let the kids each have their bag and eat what they wanted throughout the day.  Today I sorted out the bags and brought out different items at different times.  I also made sure they understood they needed to clean up the packaging.  We were able to use the cereal, milk, fruits and veggies, sandwiches and snacks throughout the day and nothing got wasted.
