Cheap And Easy Party Food - Throw A Great Party Without Spending A Fortune
If you are planning a party, you already know that food can be
one of your biggest expenses. However, you can take several
steps to cut your party food costs. It is not necessary to
purchase expensive appetizers and beverages to throw a great
party. A little imagination and effort can make your party a
memorable occasion.
Here are some ideas and suggestions to help you save money on
food when throwing your next party:
Have a potluck
A potluck is certainly cheaper than hiring a caterer and you
will save a lot of time and money by having your guests prepare
a dish to share with others. Potluck is fun and you will surely
end up with an interesting assortment of foods. To make things
simpler, include a suggestion as to what type of dish you would
like your guests to bring such as a dessert, vegetable, or
salad.
Finger foods are fun
Small sandwiches, chips, dips, and vegetable trays are
relatively inexpensive and you won't need to bother with place
settings and bringing out your best china. Simply supply napkins
and small paper plates and allow your guests to serve themselves
from an assortment of bite size goodies.
Back to basics
Fruit and cheese are excellent
choices for casual party foods
that don't require fancy place settings or dishes. Buy fresh
fruit in season when you are likely to find certain varieties on
sale and fill your table will a variety of cheeses, crackers,
and perhaps olives and nuts.
Go Italian
If your party will be a dinner party where fingers foods are not
appropriate, you can try spaghetti with garlic bread and salad,
or you could find a good deal on pizza that you can have
delivered. You will save time and it is quite easy to find a
bargain on different types of pizza.
Thrifty Thirst Quenchers
For party beverages, two-liter soft drinks and bottled water are
inexpensive and very easy to serve. Provide ice and cups and
allow your guests to serve themselves. Tea and coffee are cheap
as is lemonade that you make fresh or from concentrate.
Your party does not have to cost a lot of money to be a huge
success. Look for sales on the foods and beverages you choose
and plan ahead so you will have time to shop around be fore you
buy.
