Set a Budget: Decide how much money you can afford to spend – then stick to it! You don’t have to spend a fortune to throw a great party.
Go for the grains: Salads, side dishes and casseroles made with pasta, rice and potatoes can feed a hungry football crowd, while taking it easy on your wallet. Pick-up premade salads from the deli case to round out your main course.
Bulk up: Buy veggies in bulk and prep them yourself to save big. They will last longer, and stay fresher if you wash and cut your produce closer to game day
Just Say Yes: Take your guests up on any offers to bring a dish or beverage. Depending on your budget, you may want to create a potluck theme from the get-go!
