Say you were trying to come up with a per person amount for a large group, how much do you think is spent on seasonings & extras per sack? $10? More?

Obviously I can do the crawfish math. Trying to figure a price to tell people that includes the boiling extras too.

Some people do the dry and liquid crab boil but I just do liquid.

One 12pz bottle for about 15-20 lbs. that usually makes them decently spicy



Of course you have to Texas style dust them after you dump the pot on the table

I'd say more than that but I have no idea how much any of that stuff costs in a store cause I buy it all wholesale.


I have a spreadsheet for quotes that all I do is enter the amount of people and it figures everything down to how many trashbags I'll need for heads.

Go to restaurant depot and get all your supplies. Much cheaper.

Just to boil 2 sacks you looking at $50 for corn, potatoes, sausage salt, seasoning, onions, mushrooms. When we boil for my wifes family we all pitch in and its normally $15-20 a person.

More than 10 probably. A pack of seasoning is around $4-5. Depending on the veggies you pick, it can easily use up that last $5. Add in sausage and you are way over 10$ per sack. I would just call it an easy $20 per sack
