[quote=Anonymous]In our ~8 years of hosting it has ebbed and flowed a bit, noticed it go up when we had vegetarian APs because I tried to buy veggie burgers and other meat substitutes for them. If you are asking for budget purposes, I would probably say 25-30$ a week. Alternatively, depending on mealtime dynamics, you could give her a grocery allowance (maybe 40$?) so she could buy for herself. This is a case by case decision for us depending on whether she enjoys eating with us or views it as an obligation, which really just depends on personality. Either way is ok with us - going with the flow on non-safety/welfare matters is the only way to be a successful Host in my experience.[/quote]
