Affordable Hacks for Super Bowl Sunday

Super Bowl parties are a staple for any football fan. It’s a day full of food, friends, and fun while rooting for your favorite team. While it is a big deal, it doesn’t have to cause you financial stress. Here are a few hacks on how to cut costs when planning your Super Bowl event!

Color-Code Your Potluck -  Representing your team by wearing their colors is common practice at any sporting event, but you don’t have to stop at the clothes. Have each guest bring a food/drink in the color of their team. This is a fun way to split the food costs while starting some friendly rivalries between teams. 

DIY Dishes - It’s not uncommon to see piles of paper plates and plasticware strewn about after a Super Bowl party, but we have a solution. Find ways to incorporate edible containers into your spread. Fill hollowed-out bell peppers with dip, serve ice cream in cookie cups, or even give out slices of Jell-O-filled watermelon rinds. You’ll save on paper products and give your guests an interactive eating experience. 

Presentation Is Everything- Planning a Super Bowl party is simple because you already have a built-in theme: football! When planning for the day, you can cut costs as long as you stay on theme. Instead of a fancy dessert, consider a football-shaped Rice Krispie Treat or a pan of pudding decorated like a football field. This is your chance to get creative! 

There are so many ways to enjoy your event without having to overspend. In the end, everyone goes to a Super Bowl party to have fun. If your guests leave with positive memories, you can know that you have succeeded. So, go out there and plan your perfect, cost-effective party!
