Once we sorted out our menus we went to ASDA to work out how much the menu would cost. Before we went we wrote down a shopping list that covered all the bits on the menu and any other things that we needed. When we were in ASDA we wrote down the prices of everything and then when we got back to the unit we added it all up. We then worked out how much it would cost per head for the food. Our shopping list is below:
