I don't actually set my feast budget most of the time. I let the steward 
decide how much they want the event (including the feast) to cost. I can 
provide folks with good food in reasonable quantities from $2 a person 
(although I prefer $3-$4) on up so I just need to know how much the 
steward wants me to spend on each person and what time period, country, 
etc they want.  I personally think the money raising part of the event 
should come off the site fee and not the feast fee. Some of the groups I 
have been part of do in fact use the any extra made off feasts to buy new 
cooking gear and replace worn out stuff.
