Dessert/snacks:

Oatmeal Cookies $1.95 for 4 dozen cookies
Banana Bread $2.36 each loaf of bread
Peanut Butter Cookies $1.80 for 2 1/2 dozen
Pretzels $1.00/bag
Apples with peanut butter $2.00 total cost
Bananas Nobody ate these, so saved the rest
Carrots & celery sticks & red pepper $2.00

Total Cost for snacks day/per person .27/day

Total for 3 days/per person .81

The number of people here varied a lot. As few as 2 for breakfast, and as many as 10 for dinner. So I will average it at 6 per meal. The snacks and desserts weren't all eaten and were shared over many days, so I am estimating that.

So the grand total for each person for 3 meals/3 days = $6.72 or $40.32 for a family of 6.
