Who doesn’t love food.
We all love to chat with friends over food and drinks.
But have you gone to a party with tons of food that you don’t know which one to eat?
I’ve been to parties where I know that so much food were wasted.
Don’t prepare too much food on your party.
Determine how much people are coming and how long the party will last. Just add a bit of extra just in case more is needed.
The best way to save money on food is to not prepare so much of it. It is good to have abundance of food but not a wasteful amount. Just prepare enough with a bit of extras.
You can cut down on cost if you prepare your own food. But preparing your own food will cost you time. You can ask for help from some close friends and family.
If you don’t have time, you can buy or order few main dishes and prepare dessert and appetizers on your own.
If family or friends want to pitch in, you can let them bring food that they wanted to bring.
For your beverages, instead of buying individual water bottles, fill pitchers with your favorite water. Or invest in one of those glass water coolers with a button you push to serve yourself. It looks much better and saves plastic.
If after the party, there is more food left, you can ask your guest to bring home some food. It is better to give them away, than end up in the trash.
Throwing a party doesn’t mean you have to spend so much on food. Just prepare enough for everyone, even if its a simple meal.
