BBQ Tips for Your Holiday BBQ
I don’t know about you, but when I have to pay a lot for a party or get together, it stresses me out! I just can’t enjoy myself knowing that I just seriously strained my budget on activities like this. That’s why I follow some simple steps to keep the price under control. These tips for your holiday BBQ will help you throw an amazing BBQ without the stress of a high bill stressing you out.
Inventory Your Pantry
Before you do anything else, be sure and see what you have in stock at your house. Who knows, you might find that you have a pack or two of paper plates left over from last year’s BBQ. (I just cleared out my pantry recently and found paper plates and plastic silverware..Whoo hoo!)
Check out the Dollar Store for Supplies
For whatever else i don’t find that i have already, I head to the dollar store. As it turns out, they have a good selection of BBQ basics for just $1! They even have BBQ scrapers and utensils!
Check out the Meat Markdowns
Whenever I go grocery shopping, I check out the meat markdown selection. Why not do the same for BBQ foods? I instantly put everything in the freezer anyway and I enjoy the savings that comes with it.
Say Yes to the Offers of Food
When you invite someone to your BBQ and they say “Can I bring anything?” Don’t say no. They asked, so that means that they want to contribute and it helps you to bring down the costs a little bit. Plus, it could also save you some time on the cooking and prep.
