Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Prices for Common Meals

[Elizabeth Stevenson (tamgoddess]

Our meals are a flat rate of $2 for adults and $1 for children 4-16.
Children under 4 eat free. We still have a surplus. Since we had to set up a
separate account for anything that made a profit, we also put our laundry
money in there, at $.25 per wash or dry, and some other incidental monies.
It's kinda like some European countries that have the post office and the
phone company as one entity, one subsidizing the other. (France?)

The small fee for the laundry is still far less than it costs to own and
operate my own machines, and the low price of our meals really encourages
people to eat at the CH, especially families.

Our meals are tasty and some of our cook teams, Like mine, regularly spend
more than they take in for meals. Others always spend less. We do
occasionally get salmon in season on sale, and don't charge extra.

I'd have to really think about paying $4 for a common meal.
