Using Flex Bucks at Suwannee or Freshfood:

Dinner: 9.43
Lunch: 7.43
Breakfast: 6.43

Otherwise it’s 9.99, 7.99, and 6.99 respectively.

I’ve advocated many times against certain meal plans, because depending on which meal plan you get and how well you use it, you could be getting a really bum deal. Don’t buy the block plans, and don’t buy the 7 meals per week plan. Do the math, and you will see how both are terrible deals.

Example: 125 block meal plan (AKA: The cheapest meal plan)

125 meals, 1600 dollars, 300 flex bucks.

Subtract 300 from 1600, and you get 1300… 125 meals for 1300 dollars. That comes to 10.40 per meal. Makes me shake my head. Either the folks at Aramark suck at math, or they’re trying to pinch pennies of the people that don’t want to pay too much for their “required” meal plan. I’ll go with the latter.
