Answer 1

what are you buying t-bone steaks that answer is yes thats a little much

Answer 2

Simply.. Yes.

Answer 3

Um... YES.  That's $50 a week... WAY too much.

Answer 4

Yes! I won't allow my son a lunch order for $4.00 once a week! Make your own, it's much cheaper.

Answer 5

Most definitely it's too much.  Are they buying packaged or junk food, and overweight?  If so, you need to take charge of the diet.

Go to http://www.wholepurefood and watch the video "how to get fat without really trying"  this will tell you the kind of foods people should eat for health.

Answer 6

that's too much to spend per day for lunch period.  That's like two value meals at mcdonald's.  How much food are you eating?

Answer 7

That's probably what it cost to eat at school, but you could do it for a lot less and bring your own lunch.  Plus it would probably be healthier.  And you'd be saving lots of money.  If your lunch cost $5 instead to make at home then you'd be saving around $1000 a year.  That 's a lot of money.  If you divided that money up into 10 equal payment of the $100 a month you would saving and invested it in an RRSP at 8%, then when you are 60 (assuming you are 15 right now) you would have $527,453.98.  And that's only lunch money.  Think of what you could do if you put away more!!!  

Here's the link I used to calulate it.  Go to the bottom right of the page and fill out the cash flow calculator.

Answer 12

I spend not even 10rs. a day.

1$ = 40Rs. (apx)

Answer 13

That's $50 a week.  That's like throwing $35-$40 away each week.

Answer 14

Answer 15

I would have to say yes in today's messed up economy.

it would be cheaper to pack a lunch

Answer 16

It doesnt sound like much and i know only a couple of things add up BUT it will turn out very expensive by the end of the week. $50 a week on lunch. pack some nice healthy foods instead, save money and be more healthy :)

Answer 17

Yes, that's too much!  Is this at elementary school?  My son buys lunch at school about once a month and it costs $1.75 for everything.

Answer 18

yes. That is $50 a week better off in the bank. Make your own lunch and it would be $10 per week
