Egyptian family's lunchbox costs grow from 25 to 80 pounds
The article indicates that the cost of packed lunches prepared by parents for their children ranges from 25 to 80 Egyptian pounds daily, depending on the ingredients and the level of variety in the meal. This results in a monthly expenditure of between 600 and 4,800 pounds for more than one child, depending on the quality of food and goods used. The report shows that the prices of food items such as eggs, fruits, cheese, and chicken vary significantly, affecting the cost of each meal. While a basic, economical meal can be prepared for around 25-30 pounds, more diverse meals rich in proteins, vegetables, and nuts can cost between 40 and 80 pounds per day, making them a fixed expense in family budgets. The article also warns that choosing more expensive ingredients, such as imported meats and fruits, increases these costs. It highlights that the total cost of preparing meals for three children over three months could reach approximately 3,900 to 4,800 pounds, reflecting a substantial financial burden on Egyptian families, especially considering that these expenses recur throughout the school year.
