[quote=Anonymous]Several recent PPs have made good points. Personally I usually offer to just split because I feel like it all evens out eventually. However, if the case of a family of 5 vs. a family of 2 plus BF infant, that is probably not going to be the case. If I was your sister, I would have suggested a 2/3-1/3 split - easy enough fraction and closer to use. But I agree that a trip to Costco for one week does not make sense, except for maybe snack foods and things like milk and maybe fruit. I foresee a ton of extra stuff that your sister takes because “they’ll use it more than you.” I would skip the Costco run entirely, each bring basics and do a simple grocery run for milk, eggs, bread, lunch meat type stuff, and then split up who’s in charge of dinners. That’s how many family does it and it works well.  Those more concerned about money make pasta or burgers, those less concerned might do steaks or takeout. No one cares because everyone is glad to have a night off from cooking when it’s someone else’s turn. Of course, we like each other and don’t try to take advantage.[/quote]
