Super Bowl is almost here! Are you planning on having a party but are reconsidering because of the cost? You don’t need to! You can have a great Super Bowl party and still have fun, eat good food, drink and have guest. Keep reading to learn some money saving tips so that you can make this happen!

Have your party at home 

The best way to save money on Super Bowl Sunday is to have your own party instead of going out! Going out to watch the game adds up and becomes quite expensive after buying beer and food. Invite all of your friends, family and neighbors over to your place and get the party started! Create an invite on Facebook or through text so you don’t have to spend money on actual invites.

Make it a potluck 

Asking all of your guests to bring an appetizer or some sort of dish will help to keep the costs down on your side. This way you’re not sporting the entire bill. While it’s nice to be able to provide yummy food to your guests, they will understand when you tell them its potluck style. However, a lot of times people flake or don’t follow through, so have some snacks or dishes in preparation. 

Tell people it’s BYOB

Alcohol adds up very quickly. Letting people know prior to your party that it’s BYOB [bring your own beer] will help to keep the costs down. Something fun to do is to provide a signature cocktail as well, just to be nice and a good hostess. However, your guests will have also brought their own beverages so you won’t have to make that much or spend that much money. 

Refrain from making bets

We know, we know, making bets and playing all those Super Bowl games is all a part of the fun. While there is a possibility you could win $200 there’s also the possibility you could lose $30 and walk away with nothing. If you’re willing to take the risk, go for it, but it’s definitely something to be aware of if you’re seriously trying to save money. If you can’t help yourself, make sure you only have as much cash as you are willing to bet on so that you don’t go overboard. Your wallet will thank you later. 

Go to someone else’s Super Bowl party 

How about not even having a party? Ok, we know it’s fun to host and to have all your friends over to your house but if you’re really looking to save money, not being the hostess will save you a lot. Not to mention, you’ll also save a lot of time between the shopping, prepping and cleaning. Plus, you’ll be stress free and won’t have to worry about doing dishes. Score!

We hope these money saving tips will help for you to keep the cost down at your Super Bowl party this year. Who will you be rooting for? Also, if you need to find a jersey or the right colors to wear, make sure you check your local second hand store first!
