[Sca-cooks] Adjusting your Feast budget for Comps

[yaini0625 at yahoo.com]

Be careful paying for stuff out of your pocket. It may become an expectation of you in the future. I made that mistake and it was a painful reality bite.
$7.00 is a tight budget and so is $10. I found things on sale, off brand and Farmer's Markets. You can sometimes get good deals at Farmer's Markets.  Key ingredients and focused or featured courses became my focus.

My jaw is on the floor thinking about trying to do a feast for $3 per
person. How on earth do you do that? The budget for my feast next weekend is
$7 per person and I'm really struggling to come in under budget. I may
choose to buy a few things out of my own pocket. How do you do it?

Well, if they're part of the 250 people you agreed to feed, there's no
reason to worry about it.
As far as you're concerned, you're cooking for 250 people. They can
comp all 250 people, the NY Yankees, and the Harlem Globetrotters, and
you still have $750 to make your feast. It's not your problem.

YOU are not losing money on a feast- THEY are. Do your job, and you'll
be just fine.
