I love to buy meats crackers and cheese and soda or spoked juice for the adults
im normally just the one providing beer =) LOL
I am surprised by the big percentage of people shopping at Walmart. We shop at BJ's, which isn't one of the choices listed. We will splurge on steaks.
Somewhat - prepared foods help make entertaining easier so that's what I usually splurge on.
I like to focus on organic and more healthy Local Foods because I really think it's beneficial. I also understand that a lot of people for parties will over by food and it will get wasted so I try not to over by. These results do not surprise me.
I agree! I create cheese platters, fruit and veggie trays with dips.
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.
