How much food do you take camping with you?

How much food do you take camping with you? Do you take just enough for the days you are going to be there or do you pack extra in case you have guests or stay an extra day?

Well we try our best to not take too much with us. We camp with other families and we tend to shop together. Every time the camping trip ends there are tons of leftovers! We usually split them up and take them back home with us. It's great for that nights dinner.
Of course we always have extra people come to visit us, so I'd rather have too much instead of too little.

We have been pretty successful in figuring out just what we need for the time we stay. Of course it helps that our trips have not been that long. We tend to bring alot of snacks that we can munch on to tide us over between meals. That way, we don't have to worry about spoilage.
