Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Meal payments

[NetiPotLady (NetiPotLady]

We've just upped our maximum price per meal to $4. Each cook determines how 
much their meal will cost per person after the fact (but only up to the maximum 
or they have to pay the extra themselves). That means when the final count of 
your meal is determined two days in advance you can roughly figure out how 
much you can spend, maximum and shop accordingly. The cost of each meal is then 
deducted from the diners account. Each diner has a paid in advance account 
(periodically we each put money into our accounts to pay for future meals). The 
meal account person sometimes has to remind people who go over their account 
balance, to give her a check or cash. The cook/shopper either can get 
reimbursed 
for her/his expenses or can put that amount into his/her own meal account for 
payment for future meals. 
Seems to work well.
