We recently asked you, our members, if you plan to host a get-together this summer, and if so, to tell us about it! We wanted to know about your entertaining and shopping habits – where you're shopping, what you're serving, who you're hosting and more.
Your voices have been heard! We learned that women are splurging for higher-quality products when entertaining and that chips, crackers, and cheese top the list for your go-to snacks.

Definitely!! What goes better with entertaining than cheese and dips/ chips?! Summer is the best!!
I agree with the results. I don't splurge on any one item, I usually stick to my tried and true items...hamburgers, hotdogs, salads.
I splurge on the appetizers. Those are first and are usually what people remember.
I agree with the results and I usually splurge on wines
drinks
I agree but I normally don't have mainly cheese and crackers. I'd offer those as a side or something. I normally make pigs in a blanket when I have a group of friends over.
I agree for the most part. I buy lots of summer fruit (watermelon, cantelopes, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, etc.)
We don't entertain but go to our children's families. They usually have the u sual hamburgers and hot dogs , potato salad and my mother-in-law"s famous pineapple salad.
Probably splurge a bit more on alcohol. I wont buy cheap liquor but my husband tends to over buy also so I think most money is spent there. I'm always able to create awesome appetizers and meals for pennies though, so save alittle spend alittle I guess.

I agree with most of the results especially the cheese. I like to splurge on alcohol when entertaining.
I agree with these results. I will splurge on items that will save me time like fruit and cheese trays, but not desserts, dips, etc. that are better if made from scratch.
Surprisingly, kind of ! Although, I never eat cheese? lol!
I agree for the most part. I love going to local markets for fresh foods as well as exotic specialty items for themed parties :)
My to go list when I host is tequila!
