Yes, I went through that scenario too. When we first moved here, the older two boys went to the same elementary school for a year, and I would be writing checks and writing checks, and then I actually called the cafetaria to find out where this money was going, only to find out that they had been buying cookies .. ice-cream .. I was pretty mad.
The middle child is the only one getting school lunches right now, and I have direct debit through a company called My Lunch Money and I can log in and see that he had an entree and a drink, or a breakfast, or whatever. He gets in trouble if he messes with it and eats or drinks something he shouldn't have!
That happened to us..we would write a check for say $40 ..thinking that should last around a month..and like 10 days later he would come home and say the lady said Im almost out of money.....And this was when we sometimes packed his lunch just not all the time..
He was spending as much as $6 for lunch..buying things like 2 milks(chocolate of course)..and extra deserts...
We pulled the plug on that..
