Definitely snacks and soda I splurge on. I usually just go the Grocery Store when I do my regular shopping. I do not go out of my way to Walmart or anything usually it costs more there anyway around here.

I agree with the results - cheese platters and chips and dips are the ones everyone enjoys.

I agree with most of the results. Snacks (like chips) and beverages are a must, but cheese can get really funky in the sun so I rarely include that. Alcohol beverages is what usually costs the most.

We tend to splurge on drinks (cases of soda, beer) when we have company, since it's not something we typically keep stocked.

Looks pretty typical to me. No matter what kind of party you're having cheese & crackers is a no brainer since you can shift the types of both to the type of soiree (fancy & unusual for upscale parties, more run of the mill for casual get togethers, esp involving kids).

I agree with the survey. I usually will spurge on the fruit and vegetables.

My splurge when entertaining seems to be seafood: shrimp, Atlantic cod fillets, and crabs for crab cakes.

I agree with most of the results but I prefer to go to my local grocery store to buy instead of Walmart. I splurge on the drinks and alcohol.

Yes, I agree. I splurge on fancy desserts and cheeses, fresh fruit, plus some nice wine too.

I do not splurge on much of anything. I will spoil my family sometimes.

I agree with the results, I spurge on higher quality paper products, and yes cheese and chips and meats to make finger food platters, as well as veggies to do the same , Finger foods are always a go to when i entertain in my house

I usually go to Trader Joe's for food for a party, because there will be something there that is unexpected and will inspire me in a recipe.
