When I entertain guests in my home I do not use paper products. I will use recyclable products for a picnic just for the ease of travel and clean up.

I agree with the results. I tend to splurge more on seasonings to create flavor profiles and on fresh fruit.

I agree with the results. I do seem to purchase mostly chips for gatherings and I shop at Walmart most often. I splurge on the main course like meats. my go to on my list is finger foods like chips and dip.

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.

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!
