I hate roommates...help!

Ok, so this weekend, we're having a Jimmy Buffet party. It's supposed to be a FUN time, but this party is turning out to be more of an issue than what it's worth. After the three of us spending 25 bucks EACH on decorations, my one roommate (there's 3 of us)is out of control. She now wants us to make food for the party, as well as alcohol. Mind you that I'm IN THE NEGATIVE! So, she asked me to make a bunch of vegetables (raw) and she's gonna make the dip, but wants me to make some more stuff. AHHHHHHHH. So my question to you, is what else can I do to make something for this God awful party that I don't even wanna go to anymore. Mind you, I can't say no to her, because she'll bitch and pout till she gets her way.
Thanks!

Since you know her, I'm sure that you're right that she won't give up. I'd recommend repeating what you said about no money at all. Tell her what time you've put in, then leave the room. You can do it very sweetly to avoid conflict.
I believe that you have to be true to yourself first and foremost. If you think you can't do that, then you will find yourself doing things for this woman that you don't want to do. It's that simple.
Good Luck,

No one can take advantage of you with out your permission hun!
Let her pout away is my feeling.. Just be very Firm that YOU cant afford it and either offer to get what you can afford or just explain that you really just Cant do it.. She will get over it, trust me!
