Koba for roommates

One household, no spreadsheet

Groceries, internet, the music plan and the cleaning supplies somebody always buys. Maple Street Household keeps four roommates square without a weekly meeting.

  1. Groceries

    A Greenleaf Market receipt, sent to Koba.

    Koba: Filed to Maple Street Household by Avery’s rule and split four ways: CA$46.87 each.

    Rules
  2. The family plan

    Tidewave Music announces a new price.

    Koba: The house hears on Oct 17, a week before Oct 24, and decides together whether to keep it.

    Subscriptions
  3. The internet bill

    The invoice arrives by email.

    Koba: A reminder for Wed, Oct 21, 9:00 am. It is split when it is paid, not before.

    Reminders and calendars
