I use Ghiradelli chips. The big bags go on sale at Cost Plus around Thanksgiving. I pick up a few, freeze them, and use them all year long.

@Bee T: I teach elementary school, and in my district, the lunches are so reasonably priced that many parents opt for them because they're cheaper & easier than packing a lunch. Full price = breakfast: $1.00, lunch: $1.75

If you make below a certain amount, you qualify for reduced price lunch (and below an even smaller amount, free lunch). Reduced price = breakfast: $0.30, lunch: $0.40

And, for scope, here's what was served at my school today. We serve a variety of meals (literally the only place in the public school system that makes $$, so they try to entice kids to eat at school with choices).

Breakfast:
Pancake & Scrambled Egg or
Cereal & Crackers

Lunch:
Mixed Vegetables & Fruit, plus one of the following -
Steak Patty & Gravy (beef)
Teriyaki Chicken w/Rice
Bean & Cheese Burrito*
Cheese Pizza*
Chicken Patty on a Bun
Hot Dog on a Bun (chicken)
Corn Dog (chicken)
