Four Ways to Save Money When Throwing a BBQ

If you are planning on throwing a BBQ this summer, you know that it can get expensive, so here are some great ways to save a little money.

According to US News, these are 4 easy ways to save a little of your hard earned money:

1. Try to get an accurate count on how many people are actually coming. Once you have a accurate guest list you will have fewer leftovers and less wasted food. You should always send out a reminder the week before the BBQ.

2. We all love meat but if your looking to save a little $$$, don't just serve meat. You can grill corn on the cob, and cut up a fresh watermelon.
You can also do kebabs, which will save you some money since they're served between chunks of vegtables. Or maybe you can do a taco station with inexpensive toppings like lettuce and tomatoes.

3. Drop the drink costs. Offer a selection such as water, soda, and a big vat of sangria. Or completely cheap out and make it BYOB.

4. Skip the disposables. Paper plates, plastic utensils, and Solo cups make cleaning up faster, but they cost more than washing your own dishes. So use regular plates and utensils if possible.

And a bonus tip is to not invite me or Jess because when it comes to BBQ's, I go all in and do my best to eat everything I can get my hands on. LOL.

Enjoy BBQ season!!
