We could stash it at the garage (and abuse it for food ;X).
The fridge is smaller than I thought. I may rent one, on my own monies, for a week to stock food.
On the topic of cost:
Tickets to and from:
If you book now with Southwestern Airlines, they're about $120 each way. So a little under $240 for those who are flying.
My share fair of holiday meals come out to a range of $13 - $35, ranging from a large appetizer and beverage, to a full fledged meal with dessert. The fancy places in mind, serve delicious bread with delicious butter, and generous portions. I usually end up taking half of my meal home and skipping desert.
Otherwise, a meal that is prepared at home base will cost anywhere from $2 (soda and noodles) to $8 (steak with salad).
And of course there's always Subway and Taco Bell ($6).
Assuming that we spend four nights eating out (I've got a few places in particular where we should go), three dinners at home base, all breakfasts at home base, and about six lunches at Subway:
Code:
$120 x2 Travel
$ 24 x4 Fancy dinners.
$ 6 x2 Home made dinner.
$ 6 x6 Lunches.
$ 3 x6 Breakfasts.
$ ?? x0 Rooming.
$ 48 x? Costly events.
$ 20 x1 7-day CTA pass.
________________
$470 Estimated per person.
Estimates are probably generous and overestimates. I'd like to state that I have no idea how much breakfast costs me on average. Travel fees do not apply to those who need to travel to multiple cities, and you can probably do better with Travelocity/Orbit deals. Many things to see in Chicago are free on certain days, and frugality will probably save a few twenties. "Costly Events" is just a rough estimate for that Navy Pier day and if we decide to see a theater production or two. I encourage you to do your own maths.
