The church potluck rule that stuck with me

At our community dinner last spring, a lady brought 40 servings of mac and cheese for 12 people. The leftovers went in the trash. Now I always ask how many are coming before I cook a big batch, and I plan for maybe 3 extra servings tops. Anyone else deal with over-prepping for events and wasting money?

Ugh, that stings. I've totally been there with the math not matching the crowd and watching food get tossed. It's tough when you're trying to be generous and it just ends up wasteful.
