Does anyone know when they're going on sale for '26/27?

I miss when they were $119.... What are we guessing this year $240ish again, $299 or more?

Our family is vegetarian and seeking advice for your favorite road snacks to stock up on at Costco before/during a 2-week midwestern road trip of quirky roadside attractions and science-y museums :)

We're willing to travel! Colorado used to have a 5-night program but now it's just one night. Does anyone know of any others?

My daughter tried going to a regular GS overnight camp and was so uncomfortable with the kids cheering about bacon at family-style breakfast.... They also seemingly forgot about her for meal planning (vegan + eggs, due to kashrut and dairy intolerance) and fed her Sun Butter and jelly sandwiches for many meals. Other secular camps she's been to have been amazingly accommodating, but she really loves Girl Scouts.

I'm flying through Midway 2x in the next 10 days. What are your favorite DF and non-shellfish options? Big Bowl looks promising, but they don't list allergens on their website 😞

My 9yo kid is dairy intolerant. Her school is going on a 2-night overnight to a local camp/ecology program for kids. Weeks ago they sent home a packing list, itinerary, and menu "so the kids would know that there's something for everyone to eat". It mostly read like a list of all the foods that dairy hides in!

Breakfast: eggs, French toast, turkey sausage, fruit, milk and cereal. What do I know my kid can eat? FRUIT.

Snack: Nutrigrain Bars, string cheese, fruit

Lunch: chicken sandwiches (with/without cheese), chips, cookies, fruit.

Dinner: Chicken, mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, fruit.

Are you seeing a theme? All my kid will feel safe eating is chips and FRUIT! So I got a note from the doctor and packed a bag for her with shelf stable: soy milk "juice boxes", fortified toddler blended food pouches (we call them smoothie pouches), Made Good granola bars, and Sunbutter cups (single servings of sun butter). Everything is shelf stable and school-friendly.

After drop off the teacher tried to give it back to me! NO. My kid needs the extra 3-400 calories a day I packed for them! I'm not trying to make my kid special, I'm just trying to keep them fed with more than fruit and chips. They've been dairy whammied by hot dog buns at a baseball game, chicken fingers at restaurants around the US, and don't want to be sick while on a 2-night 3-day trip with their school buddies.

I hope my kid asks for their food if they need it and isn't embarrassed. They're very good about not eating sus foods, but need to be better about advocating for themself and not just going hungry for 3 days!
