Gameday Celebrations On A Budget
As professional and college football season heats up, and high school ball looks to the playoffs, it’s the time of the year for hosting great game watching parties. But your gatherings don’t have to cost a fortune.
With these helpful money saving tips from the retail experts at Dollar General, you can easily throw get-togethers that will score with friends all season long.
Prep for Kick-Off
The secret to a great gathering is preparation. To reduce the stress, plan early and stock up. Make a list of everything you will need and slowly purchase items each time you run to the store.
For easy clean-up on game day, use themed paper goods — from plates to cups and plastic cutlery — and decorate with matching disposable tablecloths. Use game day décor to add an extra fun atmosphere to the gathering.
Game Day Fare
Make your party food memorable without a lot of effort by offering delicious dishes that will keep your guests coming back for more. Try your hand at crockpot taco chili with ground beef, red beans and taco seasoning. Add in your favorite chili ingredients like sour cream, hot sauce, cheese and avocado for guests to customize.
Create a drink station where guests can access their favorite beverages throughout the game. Stock up on the essentials like ice, soft drinks and a variety of beverages for all tastes. There are many great ways to feed those hungry fans. Use your imagination and have fun with it.
