healthy foods should not be expensive since you have to cook it yourself. All those expensive foods are the ones where it is laden with chemicals. some might be cheap like mcdonalds but if you make it yourself it is just as cheap.

What's your location? Are you in the USA? Have you tried contacting your school district? I know that buying fresh fruits and veggies can be expensive - frozen are good alternatives for vegetables (not so great for fruits). Sugar free jello is a cheap and delicious healthy snack. Almost all public schools, if not all, offer a reduced or free lunch plan for students whose parents fall within a certain income bracket. You can check out http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/Lunch/ for more information or call your school board. If you don't fall within those income brackets but still have trouble affording to make a healthy lunch (and boy do I believe it's possible!), you should post another question to that effect - I bet lots of parents have some great ideas
