How much do parents spend on snacks everyday on school kids in your country?

[King Belieal]

My married neighbour just casually said it that she spends an equivalent of $2 everyday on snacks for the 4 year old son to go to school. I did the maths and realized it is $40 a month for just snacks for one child to school.

How much can one spend daily on snacks for a child in your country?

I am personal parent and l usually spend like $2 on the snacks every morning.

In my country the prices of items are so expensive that parents pay so high on the snacks.

I am already scared of this parenting. If one gets to spend $2 on one child everyday on snacks, what about the normal feeding and other needs?

I think it was around 50 cents then daily. At least one was able to get free snacks to school

I have seen cases where most parents tend to spend a thousand naira and more on a daily basis just on snacks for their kids.

The amount parents spend on their kids depends on what the kids usually buy. Nowadays, everything is considered more expensive, so parents may allocate $2 to $3 for their younger children. However, for teenagers, the budget is likely to increase significantly.

I know that $2 is just for basic snacks. If the parent wants to pamper the child to school, they would end up spending up to $4 in a single day .

I don't know how much but my nieces in the elementary level usually have $ 2 a day. There's free snacks in the university canteen the kids only. Those in high school and college, my nieces and nephews receive$ 12 per day.

Maybe 20–25 cents. They don't eat snacks at school frequently. My wife packs lunch for them for them to eat at school.

There is a certain dad that said he spends up to $5 on snacks for the child daily in school. But I think that with some creativity, one can be spending $1 daily on the kids.

Spending $5 daily on snacks for kids is too much. We should try to reduce it.

Kids are expensive these days so you have to be willing to spend a lot of money to make the kid happy 2 dollars a day isn't some crazy money it's better to give money for cafeteria not for snacks

From 2 to 5$ is more or less what is usually spent in my country on snacks for children for school, more than that is too much I think.

 

[King Belieal]

But I feel that a whopping $5 on snacks alone is very much. It should be curtailed and minimized. And it is best to stand well before having a child.

The prices of school snacks has really gone up and there is nothing that parents can do. The kids would always need snacks every time.
