I mostly agree! I personally spend most of my budget on adult beverages & desserts! Paper goods is the next big chunk. Guess bring pot luck faire...a good time is had by all!
I do mostly agree. I choose paper products & table decorations and often spend a bit more those items.
I agree with these results. I love making my own items, but chips, crackers, & cheese are usually always a buy. Going to try to make crackers myself when I get an electric mixer though.
Drinks and snacks are definitely my go-tos.
Specialty cheeses and chips n dip go to's for sure. Agree on the results. I dont necessily splurge on one thing, I like to have something for everyone, but agree that it should be quality over quantity
I splurge on food and drinks for entertaining as well as decor. I always make sure to buy lots of fresh fruits and veggies, dips and snacks as well as I love serving S'mores for dessert.
I splurge on certain cheeses like gouda, and better quality meats to grill with. Also, drinks! Nothing better than splurging on drinks you can turn into a nice, refreshing, cold drink to sip on while outside.
Chips are always a must!
I shop mostly at my local grocery store. I would probably shop more at Walmart if there was one closer to my house.
Yes I agree I like to buy a lot of healthy snacks and frozen treats
I agree, I usually splurge on quality meats if I am grilling.
I splurge on cheeses and wines. I love to buy local! 😁
I actually buy ZERO paper products, but that's because we're really trying to be green at our house, even for parties! It's hard, I'm not gonna lie, but I feel better about less waste. Instead of paper products, I buy the cute melamine dishware from Walmart or Target. One could argue that those are still made out of crap, but at least it's not killing trees, I have to pick my battles I suppose.
Yes, the results fit with what I usually purchase...burgers and dogs, salad ingredients, and snacks before a BBQ, so of course chips and cookies or melon for dessert.
Yes, I agree with the results
