Food Program… YES or NO

And if you are worried about it bumping you up a tax bracket put more money in a savers retirement account. Every year there are plenty of ways to save on taxes, many of which can still be done NOW for last year 2013.

I am currently not part of the food program, but am starting to wonder if I should be. I do not serve lunch, however I do serve 2 snacks.

Is it worth it? What are the perks/drawbacks?

I started out on the food program and utilized it for about 6 months. It really didn't work for me. The extra money each month is nice however after sitting with my tax lady and my particular tax situation it would be better to just write off all the meals without the extra income. A lot of my parents were ok with it as most of them prefer either Soy, Almond or special milk and on the food program they have to get a doctors not in order for me to provide them such milks even if the parent was going to provide it.

Like I said I tried it and decided that for me it's better without it.

Here I can't count my own kids because my husband and I make too much.

Yep us too!
