Gimme my $2 cookie!

Participating in our company's conference that we're hosting for our customers in Huntington Beach this week. Our CEO, who isn't as involved in the operations much anymore has absolutely no idea how much this is costing the company because our VP and Marketing Director have completely hidden the costs to him. Most the of events and meals are being sponsored by our corporate partners but it's shocking nonetheless how much a hotel venue charges for catering. $28 per person for American breakfast buffet, $45 per gallon of coffee, $10 per person snack break, $70 per person clambake dinner (albeit including lobster, chicken and clams). $2 per cookie???!!! I'm in the wrong business!!

Total spent Wednesday:
$12 lunch (dim sum in Westminster)

Total spent Thursday:
$0 brought lunch and read at the park
$21 dinner for 2 (Mexican food, saved $9 with Entertainment card)

Total spent Friday:
