I too don't want to to feed the "cost of playing in the SCA" debate and
like Christianna, feel that  I get the most bang for my buck in the sca. I
find this hobby relatively cheap and we're talking $10-12 a feast in this
Kingdom. My time is very valuable to me and I certainly don't mind spending
it in an enjoyable way, no matter what the cost....my time is worth it.

As fort he higher cost of food, this is not really an issue here in Cda as
we always pay top dollar for food. I highly doubt (I hope) we will see a
significant (read: large) increase in food in the next year but we may pay
more for Mitch flattened countries exports.
