    I went to school a long time ago, and my family was on the lower side of middle class. There were two options for lunch. One was to buy a hot lunch ticket for 35 cents. The lunch was delivered on a long metal cart by a couple of ladies in white uniforms. The second option was to bring a sack lunch and buy a milk ticket for 2 cents. My mother chose the second option, but came up with ways to vary the sandwich/carrot stick sack lunch. One that I remember is this: she heated some chicken noodle soup and poured it into a thermos bottle (the old kind with a cork). Then she tied a string around a hot dog, lowered it into the soup, and tied the other end to the top of the thermos. Add a bun with ketchup in a waxed paper bag, an apple, and, voila...a hot lunch for pennies.
