What do you guys think you spend on average for a local comp? Entry meat ect.......
Most comp's entry fees are between $225 to $300, most being $250 if
you're not in a large RV and need large space. We usually are, so $300.
I'll get 2 briskets, usually run just under $70. 3 pork butts just under $40.
16-20 chicken thighs, usually around $12. I'll spend about $50 on ribs.
Call it $180 for meat.
Miscellaneous supplies tend to run another $50, between greens for the
turn-in boxes, beef broth & marinades, sauces, extra spices for rubs, etc.
Usually comes in under $50, but I somehow manage to spend it....
Gas to and from. I'm in an RV, plus we bring a van; gasoline adds up.
We have another $100+ even for a fairly close one.
For us, most of the other supplies are things like beer, food, coffee, which
run only slightly more $$$ than we'd spend if we weren't at a comp, so I
dont factor those in to the comp costs.
We can also spend another $100 on fun ancillary categories, like Peoples
Choice, etc. I factor that in, usually another $50 in entry fees and then
another $50 give or take in food costs.
I usually budget $800, and we seem to hit it right about there.
