Agreed! Chips and dip or a nice cheese plate are always great things to buy when hosting. I also like easy things from the deli or pre-packaged like potato salad or coleslaw.
I mainly splurge on food, good food though.
I mostly agree. I like to splurge on beverages for parties. I like to have a bbq, or cold sandwiches with a lot of apps and sides.
I agree
I agree with these results. Walmart is my go-to store for my entertaining needs. I splurge on products with good reviews over price when entertaining.
I would be more inclined to make my own food fir a get together or have others bring something to share. I do not shop at Walmart, prefer shopping at local grocery stores or bulk food stores for ingredients.
I splurge on brand name cookies and candy
I agree with most of the results. The items I splurge on would be paper and plastic products since I do not use paper plates or plastic utensils normally but use them when entertaining for easy cleanup. Store deli is a great go-to when looking for something to entertain without much fuss.
I like to serve chips and dip and chips and salsa but in addition I like to have healthy snacks too like veggie and fruit trays. I know people who are vegan, Keto, low carb, etc so I make sure I have things everyone can eat.
Splurge on prepared food and snacks!
I agree with the results, but usually have a cheese platter with fresh fruits.
Yes, chips and beverages!
I splurge on fresh fruits and veggies and booze.
I love to splurge on things like shrimp and fish
I generally agree with the results. I don't host many get-togethers. I will splurge on a great dessert for guests though, especially cheesecake. My go-to item that I always have is Gardettos. Those always seem to go fast, no matter what the occasion.
