This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to commentor #257: Carol!
Super Bowl Sunday is almost here! I’m not a big fan of the game but I love watching all the festivities and hilarious commericals! It’s also a great way to get family and friends together and just enjoy each other’s company. However, sometimes putting together the menu can get pretty expensive so WalMart has come up with their Game Time Snacks for Eight for as little as $44!
So what’s in this great value pack? Check this out . . . one package of Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs, one package of Johnsonville Bratwursts, two packages of Great Value Hot Dog Buns, two boxes of T.G.I Friday’s Frozen Appetizers, one Hormel Supreme Party Tray, a 12″ Chocolate Chunk cookie and two boxes of Nabisco Wheat Thins or Triscuit Crackers. With all this great food, you’ll definitely have all your neighbors knocking on your door at game time.
In addition, WalMart has some great deals on electronics to make sure you’re ready for the big kick-off. Wouldn’t this be a great time to get that flat screen HDTV you’ve been 
wishing for? WalMart can even come to your home and hook it up for you! They have installation packages starting at only $99.
So to help you get into the football spirit, stop by WalMart and check out all their great items that’s sure to make your Super Bowl party a big hit. And while you’re there, you’ll also find valuable tips on how to plan your party including some tasty recipes. Yum!
Enjoy the game!

The best tip is to use sale items and coupons if you can find them! Other than that, I serve filling items if possible…pasta salads, that kind of thing.

I tried to become a facebook fan (although only the “friend” option was available, so I did that instead). Freebies Forme.
I think the best tip is planning. If you plan ahead and watch sales and coupons, you can probably come up with some pretty good items.

To feed a big crowd I use my crockpot to make a big batch of something, like chili. I make a dish called wet shoes, curley fries, topped with lots of chili, add a lot of shredded cheddar cheese on top of that, then sour cream on top and last but not least scallians. This is great and fills them up…!! joshmilky@aol.com

My tip is to get generic chips and serve some sort of bean dip. Most of the time you can’t tell the difference because all you taste is the dip.

My money saving tip to feed a crowd would be to prepare everything myself. Rather than buy a huge sandwich tray, I will make my own little sandwiches, things like that.
I save money by buying larger amounts of things that cost less (e.g. pasta or frozen pizza) and smaller amounts of things like fruit or expensive drinks. Also, buying things on sale or having people bring a dish to share help, too!

To feed a crowd I usually go with the main part being sloppy joes, chili or something on that line that is filling yet goes far. I also buy all Walmart snack stuff. It seems to taste just as good as brand to us.

I do big plates of things like nachos in the oven and chili in the crockpot to feed a crowd. Everybody can share and mingle, and the components for things like nachos and chili are relatively inexpensive.
Stretch your budget by including more ingredients in your meat dishes. Instead of bbq wings, serve a hot layered chicken dish with beans, rice, vegetables, cheese and sauce that can be served on buns, tortillas, or as a chip dip. Asking people to bring a dish to share can cut down on cost, too.

Plan your menu around store sale grocery items that are paired up with coupons. This may mean you have to be a bit creative, but it will save
you money in the long run. Plus you’ll use less meat, if you cut up items
like sausages into pieces and cover them with dough and then cook them.
The dough will make them more filling. So you might just have an appetizer meal, instead of a big sit down meal, but no one will really notice when the
games on anyways, and most men probably really prefer to eat this way
anyways.

How to save money on feeding a crowd? That’s easy. “Allow” everyone to bring something! Those who don’t cook can bring a beverage!
My tip is to cook in a crockpot.This will save you energy.
My best tip is to buy items that you know that you’ll be needing when they’re on sale a little at a time. Also, make items that are great but not too expensive. Mac & cheese, Chili, Chicken Wings are some great items. Thanks so much.

My money saving tip for feeding a crowd, is to make sweetened tea and/or cool-aid instead of buying so many soft drinks. Most people (at least in the South) would prefer tea anyway. Also I like to serve tacos. The ingredients are inexpensive and once you get all the prep work done, everyone can go through a buffet style line and make their own.

When feeding a large crowd, I have guests bring their favorite dish to share.
Not to sound el cheapo, but when party guests ask what they can bring, I always offer suggestions. I figure they’ll bring something anyway, I may as well ask for what we need. I also shop with coupons and stock up on party goods for a crowd when things go on sale.

Make your own foods instead of buying them pre-made. Pre-made trays are expensive and you can make them yourself for a lot less!

money saving tip for feeding a crowd (assuming you don’t want to ask guests to bring anything) – stock up when items are on sale (chips, drinks, etc) and fill in fresh items (fruits & veggies) just before party.
My money saving tip is to buy and cook in bulk, then freeze the leftovers for next time
I find that chips and dips go a long way and don’t break the bank. Thanks for the great giveaway!
We like to keep it simple and have everyone bring a covered dish. That way the expense is spread a little thinner. Thanks.

My advice is to think what can be stretched like Rice and buy what is on sale. Check those coupons!

I make pigs in a blanket. I don’t think they’re too expensive and people gobble them up. I also try to use what’s on hand and ask guests to bring chips or drinks to split the cost.

My friends and I do potlucks for get-togethers. That way no one person has to pay a lot of money to entertain.
Figure out which of your recipes have just a few inexpensive ingredients, and make two or three of those for your guests. Or see what prepared foods are on sale or can be bought at a lower cost, and stock up on those.
Everyone brings something so there is lots of variety. Also I keep the food simple to keep costs down. Hotwings, nachos etc.
My biggest tip is to use coupons for EVERYTHING. I buy mine on Ebay — you can get 100 all food grocery coupons for $2. Last time I went to the grocery store, I saved over 50% using these coupons!
My tip is to make a lot of finger foods, easy clean up and everyone likes having their own little servings

Stock shop, so you always have what you need on hand. Shop only for items at extremely low sale prices that you combine with doubled/tripled coupons. We get a lot for free or next to nothing by shopping this way.

Plan your menu according to what’s on sale, and the coupons you have! Thanks!
When I’m feeding a crowd, I make one main dish and several side dishes. My main dish will be based on something I got on sale…for example, remember how cheap turkeys were at Thanksgiving? I bought extra so it’ll cost me pennies to serve turkey chili or turkey sliders at a large gathering.

There are so many ways to buy a great assortment of good tasting and filling company snack foods without spending a lot of money. Of course coupons and sales always help and you can make do with just about anything. Any type of frozen pizzas can turn into finger food with some creative cutting. Chili cheese fries are always a big hit at game time and even taste great using less expensive store brand chili and cheese. Refried Beans are a great way to make inexpensive dips for tortillas chips with just a few extra ingredients like Great Value Salsa and shredded cheese with dollops of sour cream and you won’t have the expense or hassle of ground beef. But, if you have to have the meat, make it a Manwich night or a store brand version. LOL A little goes a long way and the guys will love it. Just add some chips and move out of the way. It amazes me how much guys love that stuff. LOL Of course if you are in a crunch, let Walmart’s Deli/Bakery do the catering. They have inexpensive finger foods, chicken wings, potato wedges, chicken fingers and a large selection of salads to choose from.

If I have the time, I make the fruit and veggie trays myself instead of buying the predone ones! Way, Way cheaper, and I know they are fresh! Plus, I can add/subtract as I want, instead of being stuck with what the store thinks I want.
Make dishes that are fairly cheap, but easy to make in bulk, like pasta, nachos, rice, veggie and fruit platters
We use the crockpot to cook up enough for everyone to snack on…it stays warm and safe and there is less to waste!

Pot luck. That way there is plenty of food and at least one thing worth eating, but maybe not!
ONe of our favorite, inexpensive punches for a large group is a simple combination or half OJ and half Lemon/Lime soda. This works totally fine with Wal Mart generic Twist Up and is definitley a money saver over other options!

Don’t be afraid to buy the biggest package of something, regardless of the price of it. Usually it winds up being the least expensive per serving/person.
The unit price on the shelf will help determine that.
Feeding a crowd means using coupons to help with food preparation costs
Popcorn, it’s cheap and filling

We do use coupons, AND know NOt to send a hungry husband to the store for a few things…he goes crazy on snacks!

When hot dogs go on sale for .88 a package we stock up. We are always having parties for my boys sports teams. Feeding 12-15 teenagers can break the bank.
I would say the best money saving tip is to not go overboard! I used to try to have everyone’s favorite snacks, now, I make a few snacks that I know everyone will love!
jennifer´s last blog ..Free Oreos!
buy in bulk to feed a crowd, it makes sense lots of people = lots of food.
By planning ahead and getting the non-perishables into your pantry early using coupons and sale info, that will cut both cost and time needed. Stick with simple foods that do not require a great deal of preparatin–remember that time is money as well.
I purchase what is on sale, we sometimes go to 4 different stores in one week (they are all on the same street) and we use coupons all the time. We shop at Walmart for our paper goods, staples, and personal items as they are ALWAYS cheaper than the other stores. I usually save, on average, 30-60% on my weekly shopping.

My money saving tip for feeding a crowd is to have a potluck where everyone contributes a dish.
My money saving tip is to have all guests bring a dish. That way, you aren’t making all the food!
mscoffee77(AT)juno(DOT)com
My money saving tips are:
Stock up when stuff is on sale. We always use Tostidos Scoops for various dips so we ALWAYS have them in the house. When we see them on sale for a great price and we have coupons we stock up.
We also like to make chicken wing dip. Usually we will buy whatever chicken is on sale (either breasts or thighs) and shred it. Then we buy whatever shredded cheese is on sale and we have a coupon for. We arent brand loyal at all (other than FRANKS HOT SAUCE) so we have no problem buying a store brand!
Buy in bulk from a warehouse club and/or use coupons when buying items at the grocery store
I like to make chili for a crowd. Use lots of beans and just a little meat for flavor and you get a delicious dish for a small amount of money. Bake cornbread or just buy french bread which is cheap to eat with it.
My money saving tip is get stuff on sale and use coupons. Also ask people to bring a dish to pass as well. Make sure you don’t get to carried away and make to much food.

To save on costs I use lots of generic dips and chips (taking them out of their containers and using pretty bowls) and cut raw veggies like celery and carrots, topped off by something substantial that I’ve made, like chili for everyone!
When shopping we shop the lower shelves – the eye level ones tend to be more expensive. If you’re feeding a crowd you can get the items marked down because they’re about to expire – it won’t be sitting on a shelf – and finally – can you say potluck?

Having a potluck feeds a lot of people and won’t cost you a ton.
I match manufacturer’s coupons with store sales to save money and feed the crowd.
have a potluck! failing that, make chili
I buy in bulk.
When I feed a crowd, I try to make my own veggies tray instead of purchasing. It’s easy to do the day before and store in tupperware or baggies, then arrange on a tray before the party.
I also sometimes do potluck, but find I actually have to gently encourage people to bring things other than dessert — otherwise we have all desserts and almost nothing else!

buy a lot of the cheap stuff, if it’s for something like a superbowl party the guests either won’t care if it’s cheap or they won’t notice!
My money saving tip: plan ahead so you can stock up when there’s a sale/you have coupons. If you bought it for cheap, you can cook it for cheap!
Stock up ahead… if the party/game is a month away, buy the stuff now so you don’t have to worry about it later!

You can never go wrong with soup, chili or casseroles for feeding a big crowd.
The best thing is to have a potluck so that everyone can bring a side dish and you can provide the main item. Best way to save and easier cleanup!
Definitely potlucks!

I make my own barbecue beef for sandwiches which is much cheaper than deli meats.
To save $ when feeding a crowd I try to find things that will feed lots of people..like bean dip..cheese balls..things like that.
We save money by having potluck suppers where everybody brings something.
I buy in bulk at Costco. It’s not only cheaper but less packaging so better for the environment.

Make a huge pot of chili. Then add tortilla chips and other sides to round out the chili.
For feeding crowds, I usually do either pizza, spaghetti, casseroles, or make it yourself type foods (burritos/tacos/loaded nachos)

Papa Murphy and Costco!
Really good Bean Dip, salsa and chips. You can make a vat for $5.00.
It’s a lot like guacamole — only much cheaper and so good with a cold beer.
Don’t order ready-made platters of food. Prepare food ahead of time, freeze, thaw,then make your own presentation. Take advantage of store sales and coupons. Thanks for this offer.
Instead of buying a veggie or fruit tray buy the actual fruits and veggies and cut them up yourself. You save SOOO much money and it’s fresher and yummier!

My best tip is to use a meatless dish if you are serving a lot of people.
My money saving tip to feed a crowd is to use PORK! It’s yummy and cheap!
Crock pots are where it’s at for feeding a crowd! Or casseroles.
If the crowd is family and it’s just a regluar meal (not a fancy party) then I like making a big pot of chicken dumpling soup with some home-made bread or a nice pot of chilli (we eat ours with rice and add beans and corn to it).
I save money by making platters myself,,,,,such as vegie and meet trays! Thanks

I love to make a big pot of chili, especially for Superbowl. It’s cheap, filling and almost everyone likes it. I put out fixings so they can dress it up any way they like, ie. I like mine with shredded cheese, tortilla chips and a little sour cream, hubbie has to have cheese and crushed saltines, other sides include diced scallions, chopped jalapenos, corn bread, etc.

I usually use coupons and watch for sale items. I also check out some recipes online. I like the ones that break it down on what the cost is per serving!
Shopping in warehouse store (i/e Sams, Costco, etc.) and buying in bulk/boxes is the way to go if you know how many to expect
I save money when shopping by going to the Deli at Walmart and buying premade salads. I love the classic potato salad. Thanks! senekers@comcast.net
When the kids have a party I always make a six foot sub. I buy 3 large french loaves of bread and layer meat, cheese, lots of veggies. The trick is to cut off the ends on one loaf and 1 end off the other loaves and push the cut ends together. It then becomes a 6 ft sub and I pre-slice and no one is the wiser.
Except for the 642 people above me.
My money saving tip is to look for printable coupons for the snacks you plan to buy before going out shopping.

My best tip for feeding a croud is to do your shopping at a Walmart Supercenter. Not only do they carry brand names, that the chain stores are getting away from, but they are noticably cheaper.

Our money-saving tip is for feeding a crowd is to keep it simple… for example, instead of spending hours preparing finger-sandwiches we offer little smokies with bbq sauce and/or cheese dip. Saves time, saves money and still scores points!
Shop Walmart, and bring the coupons.
We prepare the main dish but ask everyone attending to bring a side, appetizer or dessert.
tip- save on the cost of meats by visiting your grocers eat case and watching for reduced specials that are day old meats, the meats are still good but you can get it at a fraction of the cost.
I know our wal-mart does this.

I think spaghetti, meatballs, and salad is inexpensive for a crowd.
It may sound rude, but filling people up on appetizers really saves money, especially chips and dip. I know I’ve spoiled my appetite on guacamole and onion dip on several occasions.
I plan my menu ahead of time and then check the ads and coupons to get the best deals. I will sometimes plan my menu around what is on sale!
Stockpile foods ahead of time so you can buy at the very best price. Don’t try to use 50 ingredients if 12 will do just as well.
my ideas run from planning early to get the best prices on things, use coupons, and keep the menu simple, a great stew, a few finger foods, like salsa and chips(fry your own from tortilla, 1 pkg of tortillas will give you about 70 chips) miniature cupcakes, just a bitefull is all anyone usually wants…and how about fresh fruit and veggies with a dip you make(save a lot instead of buying a ready made tray) same with deli , you will save a lot and everyone will be impressed.
plan ahead and buy in bulk

One way we save money when feeding a crowd is to have the crowd bring some of the ingredients along! For example, if we serve pizza and ice cream sundaes, we have our guests bring their favorite or most creative topping, while we provide the basics for each. It works pretty well, and it makes it a lot of fun. Thanks!

My best tip would be to buy extra when things are on sale that you use regularly. It’s could to have a supply of extra food on hand and you never know who may be visiting. So buy on sale and use coupons when possible. I hope I win this awesome give away! Can’t go wrong with a Walmart gift card!

My money saving tip for cooking for a crowd is to keep it simple, research sale ads for grocery store specials and be creative. This year for super bowl we actually did indeed purchase most of our food for our party at WalMart. We purchased mini hot dogs for pigs in blankets, we purchased 4 lbs of hamburg for meatballs, and 6 frozen pizzas. Our guests brought things like chip and dip, soda, wine, beer, cheese, crackers. I provided the main appetizers, they brought the little dips, etc. and we just nibbled. Keeping it simple and making food that a wide range of people generally enjoy eating is key to saving money and having a successful party!
Thanks so much for the chance to enter. We love shopping at WalMart!

If you love burritos and I’m sure you probably do, head over to a grocery store such as Ralphs, and pick up a bunch of tina’s burritos. They’re not the best burritos you can get, but at 4 for $1, it’s perfect for tight budgets

My tip is to do a pot luck where everyone brings something. Thanks for the contest.
Look for ways to make fancy foods cheaply and simply. For example, my mom makes a seafood salad by mixing bagged coleslaw with one container of Sam’s Club seafood salad, a little coleslaw dressing, and she sometimes adds a few small shrimp or some extra crab meat. It’s easy and fast to make, serves a bunch of people, and seems like it took a lot more work than it did.
