But it's only recently (in the 2000s) that gas has been more then a dollar. (I had a professor who remembers filling up for 15 bucks.) So I'd say 3 dollars a week covers carting Kristy (and then Abby) around. Kid Kit materials are their own, and only replenish when they run out. Plus, the girls don't bring the kid kit on EVERY job.
I am intrested in how much a typical Claudia phone bill is, and how much is alloted for her (but that would reqire too much research). Not to mention the economics of slumber/pizza parties- does it cover food only?

I always assumed that Claudia paid for the rest of her phone bill herself.

I don't think that Claudia's phone bill could have been too much, but she sure supplied the BSC with an awful lot of snacks.

She supplied the club with a lot of snacks, mostly things she bought herself. I don't think the club treasury paid for that.

^That's how you buy your way into the vice-president's office!

I don't get that impression; she had her own phone and I think the junk food was an existing habit, pre-BSC.

It was tongue-in-cheek, but think about it: what reasons did they have for giving Claud the VP title? She didn't have any official duties.

It was definitely honorary, mostly because she had the phone and the room.

^ Well, her other duty was to answer clients during the off-hours and it might've been quite a job seeing from Claudia's complaints about it from Jessi & Pet Sitter.

I finally found a reference for dues going toward their meeting snacks in #120 Mary Anne and the Playground Fight:

^Thanks for finding that, Celaeno. I hope Claudia really was given some money. I realize since meetings were always held at Claud's house it made more sense for her to get and keep snacks, but it would have been nice if every now and then another club member provided. Or if we had read about Kristy going to the store with Claudia one day to pick up a new treat for their next BSC meeting.

But I'm quite sure her junk food habit was well established before they formed the club.
