[quote=Anonymous]Why don't the families going on this trip just agree head of time to share all food for all meals?  The current arrangement apparently doesn't work, so take a new approach.  Assign each meal to a family, agree on a budget and food items, and that family is responsible for bringing those food items:  the Smiths have breakfast for Days 1-3, the Johnsons have lunch for Days 1-3 and the Larlos have dinner on those days.  Depending on how long the trip is, at some point you'll need more food so you can discuss who will take which meal for the remaining days and each family is responsible for shopping for the food for their assigned meals.  Since dinner is more labor-intensive, the families can still alternate who is responsible for cooking dinner each night regardless of who supplied the food for that night.

I truly don't know how you "agree to do your own thing" for breakfast and lunch when you're staying in the same cabin, unless you are going to label all of your food and stand guard during meal times.  There are ALWAYS people who mooch off others in this scenario.  When you know in advance that it will happen, as OP does, you either stop vacationing with them or you get proactive and change the arrangement. [/quote]
