Football season is here! It’s time to pull out your flags, bean dips, and your spirit. No surprise, 64% of Americans watch NFL Football, 73% of men and 55% of women (Source: TV by the Numbers). So, it’s safe to say most families are glued to the TV all day on Sundays. There’s one commonality among all fans: they love to throw killer football parties. But they love money saving tips too. Be smart and shop smart with these 5 simple tips to make you a fabulous football host on a budget.
Utilize your local Dollar Store
My recent visit to the Dollar Store was a major success. You would be surprised at the amount of party supplies they have in stock. You can find anything from food serving trays to streamers. Decorating for a party can be pretty costly, but by shopping at the Dollar Store saving money is easy. Check out these football party supplies. You could get all the decorations you need for $10 or less.
Don’t use frozen appetizers
Sure, it’s easier to just run down the freezer aisle and grab a bag of jalapeno poppers and mozzarella sticks, but it’s not always the cheapest way to go. Save yourself some money and prepare home cooked appetizers. Pinterest has some great recipes and money saving tips to help you buy the ingredients. Let’s face it, your guests will appreciate the home-cookin’ – it just tastes better!
Get your game day garb at second hand clothing stores
Be unique and make something out of used clothing. Anyone can head out and grab a commonly worn 49ers shirt at a big box retailer, but I urge you to be one-of-a-kind. Inspire your guests with some spirited flair made by you on a budget. Look better and feel better with this handy money saving tip below:
Tip: Browse second hand clothing stores for vintage team tees and jackets for a throw-back look that will surely make everyone at the party jealous.
