[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why someone doesn't do a big grocery shopping trip at the beginning of the week, and divide per person. Maybe you have an age cut-off (5? 7?) that's considered a greener, and everyone else pays by # of individuals in their party.  Booze is BYOB. [/quote]

Because that just isn't how they do it. OP's DH is stuck between her and family tradition. So he tells her he's talked to SIL or his parents about making SIL pay, but he really hasn't, or has, but with no effect.

OP needs to just let this go. I'm sure she wastes money in some way that her husband finds ridiculous, even if it is spread out through the year. This is him wasting money to have a vacation with his family. Let it go.[/quote]

SIL family pays zero and puts in zero effort planning or shopping.

FIL & MIL pay for SIL family and seem to have offered to pay and shop for everyone.

OP kicks vacation off with planning, shopping and paying for $700 of food for everyone, then keeps getting special food shop requests.

Yuck, you all need to split the food costs by family. Stop being taken advantage of.  OP's DH needs to man-up and put his own family and pocketbook first. [/quote]
