How much monthly allowance is reasonable?

<p>I also enjoy sending care packages. It usually elicits a phone call from DS too, LOL. Now that he is living off campus and he and his roommates have to shop and cook, I decided to send a slightly different kind of care package. Rather than send halloween candy, I arranged for a freshly cooked meal to be delivered tonight. I decided not to surprise him, but to let him pick the meal for him and his roommates. They are getting 2 whole roasted chickens, 2 side vegetables (he picked mashed potatoes and peas, IIRC), a salad, rolls and a dozen chocolate chip cookies (freshly baked). He is stoked, and so are his roommates. Stay tuned-- I’ll report back after they eat tonight.</p>
