A couple of questions about food (presuming that they win the task of course).

Does anyone know.......

If the HGs have a weekly shopping budget?
and
Who decides what shopping they get for the week?

I don't see them have to get a shopping list together or even request things. I'm surprised the official site doesn't have a list of rules.

They dont have a list really, it all comes down to the food competition. You win the food competition and you are looked after. You lose the food competition and you ar fcuked.

The producers supply the food in amounts they believe will be sufficient. The HGs can ask for more of the items they have won (or if they are not on PB&J) if they run out.

The producers do play with the HGs minds though. Several HGs were complaining earlier this week about getting one pound of a food item when the entire house (10 HGs) won that item in the food comp. This week with only five HGs eligible to eat regular food, they were given five pounds of that same item.
