[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our AP shops for a few things for herself and often grabs a few things for the kids while she's at it.  She likes a different kind of yogurt and eats that with our costco granola for breakfast, for example.  She also likes sandwiches with lunch meat and we just rarely keep that in the house since half of the family is vegetarian.  She never spends more than $25/week, until....

A few weeks ago I noticed that the amount was higher and didn't really care, I just paid her back.  But the next week it was higher still.  She was buying pre-made sushi for her lunch which I guess is ok with me once per week or something but I did have to clarify for her that it was a "once in a while" thing and we weren't buying her ~$10 of sushi every week.....[/quote]

You are much nicer than I am.  If we run out of bread, then sure, she can go to the store to get more.  Same with any household staple or things that are part of her diet even if they're not part of ours (all of our APs have had OJ every morning, for instance, and we always stock it even though no one else drinks it).  But if she wants $10 in sushi for lunch, she can buy it with her stipend.  I bring my lunch to work most days.  Eating out is a special treat.  I would get annoyed really quickly if my AP was eating better than I was![/quote]
