How we calculate
- The list is our shopping list for the guests and menu, in store packs.
- Whatever the host brings comes off the list. Everything else splits into slots of about $25 or 5 lb, never smaller than one store pack, so nobody is stuck with a huge bill or a half-open package.
- The fair share is the whole party cost divided by guests, for groups that prefer to split money instead of food.
