The four of us always eat a meal at the hotels restaurant as a special treat and we buy one lunch at the concession stand. Every convention we spend about 600.00 to 700.00 on the hotel and the above expenses at the hotel.<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"> We usually bring in 24 cans of soda in our cooler, several large bags of chips and grapes as well as a huge bag of M&M's. Except for the soda's none of these things are available at the convention, the soda's cost about 5.00 at Vons.<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">So for 5.00 in sodas the hotel is willing to forgo 600.00?
