I usually go to Trader Joe's for food for a party, because there will be something there that is unexpected and will inspire me in a recipe.
I agree with the results, I like to splurge on drinks and snacks.
I agree with most of the results. I splurge more on meats or whatever our main dish is. I always make sure to have beverages and lots of napkins.
I don't really have splurges or go-tos but I like simple.
The results sound about right!
I get good quality cheese and fancy crackers
In my family, we always have too much food!
I love cheese and crackers
These results seem pretty in line with my spending for entertaining. I like to splurge on fun napkins/serving trays/plates, cups, and utensils for parties, because I usually cook or prepare all of the foods myself.
Sounds fairly accurate, most things a party needs.
When I entertain I like to focus on fun snacks and appetizers!
Interesting to see the results.
I agree with most of the results but I don't buy as much paper products. I splurge on good dips for chips as well as quality produce. I typically have chips and dip, fruit skewers, pita chips and hummus, homemade cookies and brownies and some form of bagel sandwich.
The results look good to me! I buy a lot of paper products, cheese, chips, and drinks when entertaining so the results make sense to me.
Definitely not paper plates or disposable cups - such a waste!
