It depends on your group. We've been going with the same group for the past 4 years, and we have a science. One part of the group does the dishes and cleaning. another part of the group does the food preparation (we cook everything from scratch in our group, and have 4 chefs by profession), and another group does the cooking
We will being in about 30-40 pounds of ribeye wholes, 20 pounds of strip loin, Bluefin steaks, and 10 pounds of chicken. Everyone chips in for that, as it's about 9.99 a pound. However that 30-40 pounds is enough for two night's BBQ (we usually make 24 ounce steak slices per person (pre-cooked weight). We also bring in a 10 pound bag of jasmine rice (i bring that, since i normally have a 40 pound bag back at home), a solid box of herbs and spices, a bag full of mushrooms, zuccini, potatos, broccoli, and onions. then there's the booze, but that's for a different post
Everyone chips in, since everyone is aware that food isn't free.
Its not that cooking at the cabin is cheaper than eating out. . . but the food in that area is quite subpar. you have your fast food chains and little shops that are dismal at best. . . but we're
really picky about our food. Plus we enjoy cooking.

It always happens. . . if they don't bring anything or pitch in, they don't get any. It may sound like i'm being a tight wad. . . but nothing is worse than freeloaders
