Lunch Costs Dip But Watch Out for Fall | Ottawa News

School lunch costs dipped nearly 3% in August thanks to sales on staples like bagels, peanut butter, and cheddar, offsetting price hikes on items like orange juice. But don’t relax—experts warn veggies may soon spike, and meat prices are headed up. While 93% of Canadian kids still bring packed lunches, costs vary by city. Save money by rotating affordable fruits and proteins like Greek yogurt, bananas, carrots, tuna, and cheese, and always compare prices to snag deals on shelf-stable items. Flexibility is key to keeping lunches nutritious and budget-friendly.
