I’m going camping next weekend. This will be with a group I’ve done this with before, so I’ll almost certainly have access to stuff like a camp stove, pots and pans, etc. It’s only for three day’s worth of meals.

The tough part for me has always been food. In previous years, I’ve wasted money buying perishable items like eggs and burgers that get unused at the actual event and/or make a mess for little return. (This is usually because I’ve eaten food cooked by others specifically for the group, but I’m not sure that will happen to the extent needed this year.) Then I bring the broken eggs and thawed burgers home and I don’t eat them.

Any suggestions? I’m thinking that maybe I should just do Kind bars for breakfast, PB sandwiches for lunch, and have snacks on hand, but that still leaves dinner.
