SC - budgeting question

For me, it worked both ways. My first feast I needed to learn a new
technique and I wasn't sure of what the instrcutions said, so my family had
a lot of similarly prepared chicken in the months before my feast. When I
did a test run of the feast, with the autocrat and other event VIPs and
their spouses as my guests, I paid for the basic food, but some special
ingredients and materials I saved the receipts for. When it turned out that
I hadn't used my whole budget, I included those receipts with the others.
It was maybe $10 and I wouldn't have cried to miss it had I been over
budget. The autocrat and canton officers had told me I could include feast
test food if I wanted, but the purchase hadn't increased my grocery bill
that week by anything noticeable, I considered it a party and my family did
eat the leftovers another night, so I didn't.
My second feast involved much less home testing, and a few times I brought
tastes to canton meetings, but no formal practice feast such as the first
time.
Bonne
