Hi Frank,

Start with telling her that I budget "10 rolls per day!" So for your trip
approx. 200 rolls.

Wait for her reaction first,  then agree with her that, that is a
"ridiculous amount " followed by, "I'm only taking 60 rolls and that gives
me three rolls a day!" Smile confidently. Then when she complains, you can
agree with her looking like the good guy you are and cut it to 2 rolls a day
to 40 and you should be OK for the trip.

There, see how easy that was? Now _"YOU"_ only have to carry 40 rolls. ;-)
I knew you'd like that suggestion. ;-)
