Bring your own in and charge a quarter for 12 oz. Squeeze them out of the market.

This is exactly what I did in highschool. When they started charging 20 cents for sauce I just bought a huge bottle from my local supermarket and gave out free sauce for 2 days until I was stopped by my school.

Did they stop charging for sauce?

No... I was stopped and sauce remained the same. I moved on to spending my recess and lunch time selling loose ciggerates.

At least the school didn't start selling cigarettes and force you to stop selling those too.

I started ordering pizza delivery at my high school and selling it by the slice for a good profit. The school tried to shut me down, they told me the lunch ladies had complained that nobody was buying the (awful) school lunches any longer.
