Spanish term

"tener un pan y un almuerzo"

Spanish to English Other Slang Guatemala, text message
This might be slang or an expression. Text message, likely from Guatemala:

"Ja Ja ni pero para la caja tienen un pan i un almuerzo"

*Also potential spelling error? Maybe "casa" instead of "caja"?

I suggest checking out the spelling. I suggest checking out the spelling and also sentence structure.

la redacción no es clara y la ortografía mala "Ja Ja ni pero para la caja tienen un pan i un almuerzo"
¿Ni? no se lee bien... quizás después más claro: pero ni para la... o ni tienen.... quizás un ji? o errata?
los sms se prestan al descuido y a la dejadez al escribir
se puede entender que es muy poco o nada o que es o puede ser suficiente, depende
no es i sino y

I don't think this is slang. Do you have the previous and following texts?
