I agree with most things. I shop more at club stores for party items. I also like to make a lot of food myself.
yep, i shop at the grocery store
Yes, I agree with the results. I splurge on beverages. My go to item is disposable dinnerware for easy cleanup.
No. I don't buy any canned goods and I don't shop at Wal-Mart.
I agree. Chips and good dips are a must for my guests.
I agree I would get most of the stuff at a grocery store.
I love splurging on local cheese at the farmer's market, and summer fruits.
Most of the results are as to be expected but to be honest I would have thought on the second graph (circle) that there would have been a larger difference for chips and dip. Surprisingly, chips and dip isn't taking up a larger percentage. And no surprise most people, when shopping for needs for entertaining guests, most people choose to go to Wal-Mart. Seems like Wal-Mart is everyone's go to for just about anything!
I agree with most of these. I splurge on everything since it's easier to buy everything than have to make it.
I agree with the results. I also get cheese platters and meat platters because that is the easiest way and kinda cheapest way to go.
I completely agree, very interesting!
Quality over quantity. The people I'm spending time with make the event and not home much money spent throw the party.
I agree with what everyone stated. I'd rather invite less people and make it a more quality event.
Totally agree! Cheese, chips and dips are always a go to!
I agree! Cheese platters are always a go-to when I'm hosting, and chips and dips are always a hit. I also tend to splurge on food and desserts.
