Entertaining on a Budget with Sam’s Club {KitchenAid Mixer Giveaway} CLOSED

Jump to Recipe -

Panko Crusted Shrimp

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Rebecca Olson! Thanks to all for entering.

As part of my 2012 focus word to “connect” more with others, I have decided to shoo away my Reluctant Entertainer and open up my home to others more often. Occasions big and small, I’m happier and my home is a happier place when we share it with others.

Budget is often something that we have to take into consideration when we entertain, so when Sam’s Club challenged me to create a menu on a budget for a get together, I jumped at the chance. My assigned budget was $60.00. I decided for a New Year type gathering (or even a Super Bowl party) snacks and appetizers were the way to go. Into my cart went:

  • A package of large shrimp (For Panko Crusted Shrimp..recipe below) $11.98
  • A bag of Italian Meatballs (For Game Day Meatballs) $13.98
  • A package of Chicken Wings (For Oven Baked Chicken Wings) $13.98
  • A large bag of Pretzel Crisps $5.98
  • A box of Clementines $5.96
  • A box of Red Grapes $7.98
  • I picked up a Diet Coke fountain drink as a special treat for me $.89
    • Grand Total: $59.65

With a few pantry staples to create the recipes, I think this makes for a quick and inexpensive entertaining menu, don’t you? I always appreciate when hosts set out fresh fruit to snack on. If it is there, I’m more likely to to munch on that versus chips, which my waistline appreciates! Sam’s Club has some of the best fresh fruit around, in my opinion, all season long!

When you think about entertaining in 2012, remember, you don’t have to break the budget to open your home to others. Shop smart, think simple, and shoo away your “Reluctant Entertainer“. Open your home and people will be thankful for your hospitality.

Entertaining is certainly  more fun with the right equipment, right? How would you like to win a KitchenAid mixer so you can whip up more great things for your guests?

  1. Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says

    Best tip is to buy what’s on sale and/or seasonal. Don’t try to serve a fresh blueberry dessert for 30 people in January. You’ll go broke 🙂

  3. theresa says

    Pinterest!! There are a million great low-budget and DIY ideas for entertaining at your fingertips!

  5. Demitria says

    I say to go simple with food and try to incorporate hand-made or hand-crafted things. This saves you money and you can be proud of what you’ve created, whether decorations or food. This way you can spend more time with your guests and less time stressing!

  6. Cassie says

    Entertain on a budget by doing a little extra work yourself…don’t buy pre-cut veggies; buy chips and other snacks in bulk and portion them out yourself.

  7. Amy says

    I’ve learned the hard way to keep it simple. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone overboard on food and/or decorations. Less is best – it’s about the guests.

  8. Spirit of Power, Love, and Self-Discipline says

    When I entertain, I purchase store brands for basic items and I try to make as such as I can from scratch.

  12. carrie says

    To help watch a budget I have every one bring their favorite dish. Itry to just spend the money on one main food item like the meat….. also use your own dishes and silverware so you aren’t just throwing out money.. its more of a pain yo wash but it will save u money.

  19. Amy Kempf says

    I love buying our brisket at Sams Club. Paul Deen has an awesome brisket recipe that works great! The brisket feeds a bunch of people for around $20 and all you have to do is add a couple side dishes. Since others always want to bring something, take them up on the offer to bring something too!

  27. Amy Tong says

    My best tip for entertaining on a budget is to buy in bulk and in season. It’s always cheaper and food are fresher when in season.

  29. Kimberly Williams says

    If there is one thing my aunt (the queen of hors d’oeuvres) taught me, it is that your everyday leftovers can be turned into something spectacular. There’s no since in buying food when you have a fridge full of perfectly good leftovers!

    Leftover asparagus? Cook with some onion, cheese and eggs and you have yourself a frittata!

  33. Amy @ The Nifty Foodie says

    My tip is to buy meat on sale & in bulk. I usually know about a month ahead of time (or more) when I’m going to entertain, and watching for meat sales is the biggest way I save. I freeze the meat when I purchase it and thaw it a day or so before the party!

  35. Sam H says

    When entertaining on a budget… it’s always best to buy things in bulk and stick to buying stuff that you will also eat at home!

  36. Kimberly Williams says

    I shared on Facebook too!

    Thanks to Marnely, (@nella22) for bringing this to my attention! I’ve always wanted one! Plus, I’m going to make that shrimp ’cause it looks DELICIOUS.

  37. Lauren says

    Buy ingredients in bulk and turn them into something special at home. Example, I just made a double batch of candied nuts from a recipe from Smitten Kitchen called Sugar and Spiced Candied Nuts. Delicious! Better than anything I can buy in the store and much cheaper too!

  38. K. Pendleton says

    Entertaining earlier in the day means guests are more apt to just want snacks vs a meal. This translates to smaller portions which can mean preparing a variety of foods using less costly ingredients or serving fewer items, but with more costly ingredients (so the overall cost is still low). This gives hosts a fun way to try new “fancy” recipes without breaking the bank.

  39. Deb Harris says

    When I entertain to stay on a budget I do several things.i almost always buy in bulk. I try to keep apps simple but good. And with most of our friends we all contribute a dish or 2. Makes it fun no one stresses.

  41. Amy says

    Make it a theme night and ask your guests to bring their favorite dish that goes with that theme. Then you all get to try something new and delicious.

  42. Bee (Quarter Life Crisis Cuisine) says

    My best entertaining tips are find cheap things that taste fancy! I have an amazing dip that’s just a can of chili, a package of cream cheese, and shredded cheese mixed together! Or a red pepper jelly over a block of cream cheese with crackers looks fancy, tastes awesome, and costs less than $5!

  43. Joanne Owens says

    I would make a huge pot of ragu sauce w/ spaghetti (meatballs on the side), homemade sangria, garlic/cheese sticks..taramisu

  46. Jimi says

    Your shrimp looks delicious! We love to entertain, but you are right, it can be expensive. My best tip – ask everyone to bring something. (And then limit myself to the drinks and maybe one other thing…that’s hard for me).

  47. Connie Bolick Lee says

    My tip is to buy the store brands. Most of the time these are just as good as the brand name. Purchase items that has more quanity although it might not be as fancy.

  49. Alaina says

    The first thing I do is make sure to not plan my menu until I see the ad circulars for the week. I plan my meal and appetizers based on the sales and of course what is available at my local Sam’s Club. For dessert I love to make homemade ice-cream and serve a fruit compote with it. It’s impressive to my guests but is actually inexpensive! I buy frozen fruit for the compote and the basic ingredients for a simple ice-cream is doable on a budget! If it’s a sit-down meal I’m not shy about purchasing rotisserie chickens from the store and simple doctoring them up with spices, herbs and stuffing them with lemons. I then slowly reheat them in the oven so that the flavors can infuse. And of course you have to shop for the season. In the winter sticking with things like root vegetables, pears, etc. makes sense. It’s really all about not getting an idea stuck in your head before you see what’s on sale and inexpensive at the time!

  50. NanaBread (Jeanne) says

    I like to make pasta for a crowd. It’s inexpensive, so you can afford to throw in a few quality ingredients to make it stretch AND make it fabulous. My favorite is a huge batch of spaghetti with a meaty slow-cooked tomato sauce.

  51. jessie says

    Potluck! You get a good variety of great food without any one person putting out a lot of money.

  55. Rachel's Cottage House says

    I’d say, chop your own chocolate to add to cookies instead of buying chocolate chips – I do it quite often because not only does it taste fantastic, but it’s also usually less expensive!

  56. MaryBeth says

    My best tip for entertaining on a budget is simple: when one of the guests asks “what can I bring”, I tell them something they can bring and I make sure to keep it simple and affordable.

  57. Mimi Avocado says

    I’ve been a choir director for almost 25 years, and as the choir has grown, so have the parties! We usually have 60-80 people at a choir party now. One of our best ideas is to set a simple menu and then ask members to bring the completed dishes. For example, roast pork, rice pilaf and Greek salad. Those who aren’t cooking can bring a dessert or a beverage.

    When no one wants to cook, we have a Pizza Potluck. After church, everyone calls in for pizza…picks it up and takes it to the party place. The host provides salad. And it’s BYOB. We always have a great time, it takes very little effort and the cost is low…especially when we have coupons!

  58. Evan Barsh says

    Take a simple item and doctor it up with the seasonings and extra things you already have in your kitchen. Don’t buy something in a store because it looks fancy, make it fancy with your own personal touch.

  63. gwen says

    To entertain on a budget, I throw a themed potluck! Everyone sticks to the same budget, and is encouraged to be as frugal as possible, using any home-grown produce they can, to utilize coupons and clearances, to cook from their freezer and pantry, to buy in bulk then stretch and ‘re-purpose’ those ingredients no matter what they are. What seems to be limitations in fact encourages creativity, turning the event into a collective experiment and game.

    My take on this is almost always desserts, and a kitchenaid mixer would certainly make these baking projects easier!

  65. Tara Caudillo says

    My best tip is if someone offers to bring something LET THEM!!! It takes a lot of pressure off of you and saves you a lil $$!

  66. Cindy C. says

    I ask guests to bring something to help share in the cost, plus I always use coupons and this sets the menu. A KitchenAid Mixer would be helpful in making lots of different dishes.

  73. Amber says

    That looks amazingly yummy! I like to make dishes that are fun and flavorful, but also can be eaten as finger foods and don’t need utensils. I like flavored meatballs, various meats and cheeses, mini quiches, and fruit tarts or tiny cheesecakes. Thanks!

  79. Kate says

    Best tip for feeding a crowd cheap is mexican food! Everyone love is and it’s easy to make, beans and rice are so cheap… a roast in the crockpot covered with salsa and mexican spices will turn into devine shredded beef for burros or bowls. Add margaritas and fun and you have a great party. 🙂

  82. Rebecca C. says

    I love having potluck-type meals. Everyone participates and yet we are still able to open up our home without as much stress and $$.

  84. Kate says

    Twittered the give away. 🙂 KatieInZona

  86. Micaela P. says

    the way I do entertaining on a budget is by using inexpensive staples like eggs, potatoes, pasta… these also lend themselves to make-ahead dishes, which frees you up to enjoy your guests. And I totally agree that if someone asks what they can bring, you need to take them up on it!!!

  87. cathy SMITH says

    My tip for entertaining would be to recycle decorations. Buy decorations that will work for many occasions that you can add a little this or that to and make it suitable for the occasion and then you can afford to spend more on the food for the party. There is a big difference in food quality on some items and some you can get away with less expensive brands. If you haven’t tried it before the party don’t try it FOR the party. It may cost you more in the long run if you do not like the outcome. kudos’ to you for the excellent give-a-ways. I hope i win. I have an aspiring chef (my granddaughter) who would love this. Absolutely love it. Sharing to FB. Cathy Smith

  89. Yvonne Higgins says

    I like to make up a super big batch of meatballs I have made using ground beef, ground pork and ground turkey. I make up at least two different sauces, 1 B B Q and the other sweet and sour. I can then serve them on a platter with pretty tooth picks or serve with steamed rice. To make the meatball mixture go farther I add a box or two, depending on the number of meatballs I am making I add a box of a seasoned stuffing mix, such as stove top stuffing.

  90. Diane Fulp says

    After holidays, it is fun to go shopping for tablecloths/paper plates, etc. to match the occasion. They’re always at least 50% off. Store them in a closet and bring them out the next year. You have all new “decorations” at a minimum price!

  95. Melissa Graham says

    Maybe…just maybe this will be my lucky day and I will win one of these beautiful mixers!!!!

  99. Maureen Chapman says

    So many tips…where to begin? Be smart and know prices and check sales. Don’t wait to the last minute. Buy protein when it’s on sale. I always have some type of seafood in the freezer and bacon too. Great combo! Shop smart and don’t buy out of a box!

  101. Meg G says

    Great article! I have a huge party every year with over 100 guests, and my budget is usually $2 a person. I make a huge taco bar with ground beef and pulled grilled chicken. I make salsa homemade instead of buying it which saves a ton of money. Guests can choose from tacos, taco salad, and nachos and gussy them up however they want. I even put out a corn and black bean salad as another protein for vegetarians. Everyone can fix their plates how they want and it’s easy on my time and my wallet. Keep posting!

  103. kayleigh says

    i love to host a potluck! maybe a little too cheap, but its always fun to see what everyone brings(:

  105. Kaija Staley says

    A potluck is always a great idea! It takes pressure off the host and adds a little variety to the meal. I’ve discovered that people really like sharing their special dishes!

  106. Melody says

    Serving just a few, delicious dishes like the one above and skipping the old, outdated, obvious ones keeps the cost down and the guests happy!

  108. Judy Golden says

    A fun and inexpensive way to entertain is to have a progressive supper. One couple would host the appetizers and then the next couple would host the main meal and go to another couple’s house for the dessert. Of course, the couples would have to live in close proximity.

  121. Tammie says

    When your enertaining on a budget, just like a lot of others have said, potluck is the best way to go. You also have a good variety too!

  122. Linda K says

    One way to save is to make your own ‘trays’. Cut up the veggies Oneself arrange them on a tray or nice platter. Same thing with meat and cheese trays.

  123. samW says

    Canning pickled beets, pickles of different varieties, fruits, condiments, etc. I am a master at the relish dish – and can’t compare prices to what it would cost to go out & buy the stuff!

  125. mary fanara coleman says

    Best tip I can think of right now is to have everyone make something to bring for the party.

  128. Rebecca says

    I love doing a potluck! Guests feel good that they are contributing to the get together & it helps break up the cost for the host!

  130. Rebecca says

    I like to always make dips! They go so far and you can use the same chips/”dippers” for multiple dips!

  134. Zeina Rahall says

    Potluck is great idea to entertain on a budget,variety of food and the gathering with friends and family!!

  140. Mikngayaq says

    I try to look for recipes with primary ingredients that I already have (flour, sugar, milk, butter, eggs, etc.) and build from there. I find that h’orderves go a long way because they are portioned out and people tend to be polite about grabbing whole plates full of one item.

  144. Libby says

    Entertaining on a budget? I buy meats on sale and freeze in marinades until a later date. Great for kebabs, chicken, etc. stretch the budget over weeks if possible.

  145. Christina Wedell says

    I really like to entertain guest and I try and keep expenses down by buying in bulk, that way when I have a party I have plenty of food to entertain my guest and still have plenty left for the week. I also invite guest to bring extras if they choose. You cant go wrong with pastas, inexpensive and filling!

  149. jamie barthel says

    When I’m having a get together I always go through my pantry first to see what i have in hand. Then I check the sale papers in town and plan my menu. I try to make things that are inexpensive but at the same time delicious. I almost always search all the blogs I have come across to find interesting recipes too! 🙂

  156. Andrea says

    My tip is to have the guests RSVP so you have a good idea of how much food is needed -that way you don’t cook too much and nothing will go to waste. You can also plan the meal around what is on sale that week at the grocery store to save money. I also serve inexpensive drinks to save money – lemonade, iced tea and coffee are all good choices.

  160. Tammy says

    I liked Sams club on facebook.. But I really love to shop and browse inside of Sams Club!!

  161. Gina says

    Never buy precut cheese and meat trays. Cut your own cheese cubes and slices. Use cutter cutters for the meat to make little shapes. Much cheaper

  166. Cindy says

    Liked Sam’s Club AND shared on my Facebook page. Sam’s is the way to go for creative entertaining.

  170. Amy R. says

    I like to do a themed meal, and provide the main course and have all the guests help with sides, drinks, etc!

  171. April was in CT now CA says

    Spicy bean salsa!! It uses a few cans of beans and some fresh veggies, makes a ton and is always a hit.

  174. Samantha says

    Keep it simple! Sometimes the best and most elegant food is made from simple, inexpensive ingredients. And it you have the time, made things from scratch instead of buying them pre-made or from a mix, it’s usually less expensive to do it yourself!

  176. Pat Wogan says

    My tip is to have a group of friends plan an international theme menu together. We use a different country each time. The person acting as hostess prepares the main dish decided upon by the group. Then each individual is given a recipe for a side dish or dessert, keeping to the theme. There are lots of ethnic foods available at Sam’s Club, which makes shopping for an international dinner menu. Hostesses rotate each month and, in fact, can work as a team to minimize the cost.

  180. June says

    My best tip is don’t be afraid to “rework” leftovers into a new dish. This saves a grocery trip and may be a new fan favorite in the future. i.e. cut leftover sweet potato rounds in half to look like footballs and roll in cinnamon sugar for an appetizer. June

  187. Sandy VLaan says

    I think you could serve a nice homemade veggie soup for a budget conscious meal. Pair it with a fresh, crusty loaf of bread, a simple salad perhaps and an inexpensive bottle of wine. For dessert you could make a fruit cobbler/crisp or just serve ice cream. I think the pleasure of sharing a simple meal with good friends is the best kind of entertaining.

  198. lorene holbrook says

    we do alot of family dinners. around 20 – 25 people. kids, grandkids, great grandparents, aunts! I always check out the dollar store for cute stuff to decorate with. AND always use fresh ingredients and make from scratch. it always taste better. AND everyone contributes. that always helps…. LOL….

    thanks for the chance…

    Lorene

  200. Kelly Ulven says

    My entertaining on a budget hint is to light candles! It makes everyone feel like they are at a special event!

  202. Kate says

    I don’t typically entertain – but when I do, I:
    1. Ask for help
    2. Keep it super simple
    3. Prep as much as possible (even finding foods that can be served room temp)
    4. Create a warm and inviting atmosphere by lighting candles
    5. Have the food where it is accessible from all sides
    6. Laugh!

  203. Deb P says

    We enjoy entertaining friends and it’s the most fun when everyone contributes part of the meal. We’ll assign appetizer, side dishes and dessert to visiting friends and we provide the entree. Everyone feels involved and appreciates the meal.

  204. Dawn says

    I really do watch my grocery dollar but when I entertain I find that I splurge a little bit. What helps out is if someone ask to bring something I may have them bring wine.

  205. Jessica says

    I am a fan of KISS – Keep it simple Sister! Your guests are coming to enjoy your company…. they don’t care about a seven course meal or over the top decor!

  207. teresa says

    I try and keep it simple, I enjoy everyone and not worried about what did not get done.

    Liked Sams Club on FB

  208. Evelyn Cucchiara says

    My best tip is to host a party where the guests bring things – but with a twist. For example – host a party where everyone brings something from Sam’s Club! This showcases the various items a particular store sells, and gives everyone a chance to try things they wouldn’t normally try. Make the invite clever & fun and your guests won’t realize that they are supplying the food!

  211. teresa says

    Saring the link

    Accept help when it is offered..can be before the party or durning the event..makes me feel good and the one who offered. Sometimes best parties turn out to be in the kitchen

  212. Andrea Potter says

    My friends and I all share the expenses. We all bring a piece of the party so no one person is left with the bill. We started doing this years ago when the economy tanked……so it saved money from going out!!!! So we just started a roving social circle at the different homes.

  213. Hannah says

    Oh, my absolute tip for entertaining is don’t be afraid to ask for help and if someone offers to bring something, take them up on it.

  216. Stephanie says

    At our pool party this summer, I filled a hug jug (with spigot) up with water, ice and lemon slices. It looked great, was refreshing, and cheaper then buying a bunch of water bottles. Less waste, too!

  221. Mary says

    I like to have a small theme going on with foods that compliment each other and if one of your friends asks to bring something it’s easy with the theme going on.

  223. Sharon says

    I am such a Party Girl! Just wish I had a endless limit of time, budget & energy! I love to entertain the whole spectrum : simple, fun, elegant, themed , small to huge crowds ! Let’s PARTY!;)

  225. Stephanie Phelps says

    My tip for entertaining on a budget is to plan my menu around the best grocery deals that week and use my coupons.

  230. Karen Lynch says

    When buying items such as linens, buy items that can be used for many different events, instead of buying a Christmas tablecloth or napkins, this makes them useful for more than one event/holiday. Before buying serving ware put out feelers to close friends and family to see what can be borrowed.

  233. Shannon Glaser says

    When I entertain on a budget, I usually throw a pot-luck! Most of my friends ask to bring stuff anyway, so it is just easier to let everyone share the cost of the food! 🙂

  236. Terry Perez says

    I love to entertain and when I do it is always on a budget, my secrets range from making homemade food, having friends and family help out with a dish if offered and making my own decorations for parties.

  237. Laura G. says

    I love having people over, and during colder weather I always fix large pots of homemade chili or beef stew. I love one pot meals easy to fix and even easier to clean up!

  243. Carolyn Mackley says

    My #1 tip is to definitely not try to do it on my own. For the most part, people really don’t mind helping out and it makes it a much more enjoyable experience for the host. Also planning ahead and prepping things ahead of time can be a BIG help.

  244. Sue ford says

    I love to have fondue parties! Each couple makes a pot with all the fixings and we have interactive fun and great food!!

  247. Grishma says

    How do I entertain people on low budget? I am a vegetarian so But obviously my menu will be vegetarian but I make it in a way that it involves everyone to participate. Like last time I had fondue (Both cheese and chocolate) on menu as appetizer and it was pretty entertaining and involving. For main course I made pasta, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes and a salad. For dessert I made black forest trifle and the party was amazing and affordable with satisfying menu. I even prepared goody bags filled with homemade delicacies like scones, hot chocolate sticks, barks etc…which helped me financially and my guests were happy to enjoy that in their breakfast the next day!

  253. Amy says

    What a great recipe but I almost never entertain. Maybe I should take a que from you and invite people over

  254. Stacy says

    My tip is to make everything from scratch–as few prepared foods as possible. Buying prepared foods makes it easier sometimes (though often not as much as you might think), but is almost always more expensive.

  255. Kim Bee says

    My best tip is pasta and lots of bread. When we are on a tight budget that’s the way I go. Plus I love pasta and bread so that’s a bonus.

  257. diamondgirl says

    I like to make my own dips. Ranch for veggies. Maybe some hummus. You get a lot more for your money, plus it’s fresh and you can control the ingredients.

  259. lisabella says

    My tip is to keep things simple! People remember that you had them over, not what you fed them. My favorite entertaining treat is a recipe I got from my cousin. Halve large cherry tomatoes and cielinge, small (about 1 inch diameter) mozzarrella balls I get at Trader Joe’s. Cut the mozzarella balls in half if you want to make it stretch even more. Drizzle with good olive oil and balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and ground pepper to taste. Serve with small slices of French bread (also good for soaking up olive oil). Another variation is to thread a mozzarrella ball and a cherry tomato on toothpicks.

  261. Janet says

    It’s always nice when you have gatherings where everyone brings a dish. Then it’s not so hard on anyone.

  272. karen M says

    I like to make a lot of Hors d’oeuvres, such as cheese trays, instead of a full meal menu, our guests like to bring the wine, which saves a bit when on the budget. For decorating, we light a lot of candles and throw bit of ribbon around the table.

  278. karen M says

  279. Robyn N says

    I say make it a pot luck. Whenever we have friends over or go over to a friends house we offer to bring a dish to contribute to the meal. It makes it less work for the host and more cost effective.

  280. Tiffany H says

    I shop sales and look at the ads to get items I’m going to need ahead of time for a little less

  284. Rose Atwater says

    Serve a meal! So many times hosts choose to serve finger foods, but it’s much less expensive to make one very delicious filling meal vs. having 10 different finger foods!

  285. Christi P says

    I like the concept of having all your guest bring a dish!! It saves you money and a lot of stress!

  286. Debbie says

    I buy things for entertaining when they’re on sale, a little bit at a time that way it’s not a big expense when we have friends over.

  287. judith says

    Utilizing pantry items first. Inexpensive pasta,a big salad and sangria really help to stretch the budget.

  288. Mel says

    Use your own dishes, flatware and cups instead of buying paper and plastic. Do a potluck and have guests bring a dish.

  290. Heather K Miller says

    I try to stock up on certain food items that I know I will use often and that can be stored, when they are on sale or I have coupons. That way when it comes to making my menu for entertaining, I already have many of the ingredients on hand, thus making the party or get-together much less expensive.

  292. Julie Hinson says

    My best tip on entertaining on a budget is assign peole to bring stuff. They want to help out anyway, so go ahead and let them! Many times I have someone bring the paper goods and that helps out a lot! I usually buy the meat and have everyone else bring sides and desserts. I provide the drinks also. Most people like to be “told” what to bring, so they don’t have to think about it! 🙂

  295. NancyR says

    Don’t try and do it all yourself. Ask for help (I still have a hard time doing this). Get a sitter for the kids (have never down this but sure wish I could). Oh wait, was I suppose to tell you what I do or my wish list for my parties? Would LOVE a mixer!!

  296. Margaret says

    Finger foods! Little portions but people feel like they’ve eaten a lot. 🙂 Or if you want to go the extra-cheap route, potluck!!!

  297. Mariah says

    I do a lot of dips. They seem to go farther than some finger foods. I usually have people bring something they would want to snack on as well.

  300. Mary Cochrane says

    I make my own dips, serve it with crackers or vegetables. Also make filling things like meatballs in sauce. We also have a lot of get-to-gethers where everyone brings a dish.

  301. Jen W. says

    My entertaining on a budget tip is to do a potluck. That way everyone shares in the making of the food and no one has to pay too much for any part of it.

  308. Ashley M says

    I just ‘liked’ Sam’s Club on facebook. Thanks for a fun giveaway and a great blog.

  309. cocobean says

    good way to help entertain on a budget? have SMALL plates – people will feel like they are getting full plates, but will be taking less (and wasting less!)

  310. Brenda Combs says

    Do a pot luck so everyone brings a dish so one person dont have to cook all the food.

  311. Alina says

    Budgeting tip would be to have a chips in a bag party 🙂 You can have everyone bring in a topping and you supply the mini chip bags. Easy clean up, easily able to socialize around the room with food and entertainment.

  314. Sean says

    EASY POTLUCK PARTY! Everyone brings in a li’l something and that way everyone can eat and have a merry ol’ time.

  315. mary says

    Try “Stone Soup”…have each person bring a cup or two of something to add to an already simmering soup…then read the story while waiting for the soup to finish!

  323. Kristine says

    My tip for entertaining on a budget is to make a yummy casserole or lasagne. That way, one large dish feeds everyone and you can have a few appetizers on the side!

  325. Lea Ann says

    A great budget get together is to have a salad bar party. You provide the lettuce and spinach and ask others to bring the salad toppings and dressings.

  327. april v says

    My main tip to save money is shop sales, and making most things yourself come out cheaper than buying them. Do the work to see which is cheaper.

  334. Deana Miller says

    I entertain on a budget by keeping things simple. Finger foods, making my own cookie and going to Sam’s to buy in bulk!!

  335. MommyNamedApril says

    my best tip for entertaining on a budget is to stock up on sale items over time. we have two deep freezers and a garage pantry that i use to store items that i find a great discounts… then when it comes time to entertain i raid my stash and party guilt free!

  339. Kari says

    When I have people over I never think twice about serving whatever I have around the kitchen already. Flavored popcorn, leftover pesto & a frozen baguette heated in the oven. I even cut up slices of all the different cheese that I accumulate and serve with crackers.

  341. Karen P says

    My tip is to buy paper plates, silverware, and napkins on clearance sales to stock up. A frozen lasagna and salad from Sam’s is a staple for parties at my house.

  344. Desi says

    An easy way to entertain on a budget is to have people bring something, like a potluck dinner. You can supply the main course and maybe alcohol or drinks, and have guests bring a side or desserts or snacks 🙂

  345. Shellene says

    At our get-to-gethers….we have everyone bring an appetizer/soup/or salad along with the recipe to pass on to everyone. You never know what you’re going to get but it is always different and yummy.

  348. Alicia says

    My best tip is planning. Have a menu and a schedule and that will go a long way to saving money and time.

  349. Shaina says

    My tip for entertaining on a budget is to utilize what you can get on sale/etc. Plan your menu according to the coupons/sales! 🙂

  353. Glynis says

    I love the term “Reluctant Entertainer!” I haven’t had friends over in forever. I fret that my house is too small, dust is too thick, bathroom the wrong color, and the list goes on. After reading your blog today, I am adding “have people over” to my 2012 list of I Want To Try….. I will start small, my best friend and her children, perhaps, and see where it goes from there!

  360. Shannon says

    The best tip for entertaining on a budget ids too plan your menu a few months ahead of time and then buy a little at a time so the expense is spread out and so overwhelming. You may even score some items on sale! Also, use small plates and finger food.

  363. Anna S says

    Plan, reasearch, and plan some more!
    Brunch!
    Use budget stretching recipes. Do you know how many people a flank steak will feed if it’s sliced thinly and served on a salad?
    Use uncomplicated recipes, like comfort food. I make speghetti, but use shredded chicken in lieu of beef (Brown your chicken the deglaze pan with a little wine. Finish cooking the chicken in the wine, then shred. Add the whole mess to your fav marinara).

  368. Laurie Perkins says

    My best tip is to not stress about it!!!!!!!!! People are coming to see you, not for what you are setting out for them.

  371. Diane Troxell says

    Appetizers or small bites is the best way to entertain on a budget. One of my favorites is beef sticks. Buy a london broil steak (cheap) from the grocery store and ask the butcher to slice it 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick into strips. Combine 2Tbsp sugar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 Tbsp oil, spring onions and garlic, mixing thoroughly. You can add water if you need to stretch the marinade to cover all the meat. Marinate the meat strips overnight and then thread them through bamboo skewers. Broil until meat is cooked and serve. (You can make a dipping sauce if you like, but the flavor is really good without.)

  373. Patty Thomas says

    My tip for entertaining on a budget is plan your menu in advance, watch for sales and try to use what you already have in the house. I know it sounds like common sense but when you put your mind to it you can make new dishes with very little shopping and using what you already have on hand.

  378. Tiffany says

    The best way for me to entertain is to make a big pot of chili :). (at least in the winter months) it’s cheap and easy to make and the sides (such as chips, sour cream, & cheese) are fairly cheap as well.

  379. Joy says

    I’m a fan of putting out tons of fruit. Not too expensive, and even the health conscious say thank you.

  381. Cindy B. says

    My best tip for entertaining on a budget is to serve MINI! Mini pizza, mini pies, cake pops, appetizers like hot wings, have plenty of vegetable and chip dips, do everything small and keep it simple!

  383. carli says

    Whenever I entertain I like to have 1 signature cocktail for the evening. This way you can get away with not having a fully stocked bar.

  388. carli says

    I tweeted the sentence-actually I had my husband tweet the sentence since I don’t have a twitter. @KenTylerKing

  389. Rena says

    My best tip is to serve homemade bread with the meal. There’s nothing as delicious as fresh hot bread, its cost effective to make, and fills people up!

  391. Audra Bell says

    I always do pre maid and home made when keeping to a budget while entertaining. Somethings are more affordable to buy then make and somethings are more affordable to make than buy. I always do it semi hmemade though, it keeps down expenses.

  392. Donna says

    I plan small bites that I make from scratch for cocktail parties; quiches,stuffed mushrooms,etc.

  398. Rebecca says

    Keep it simple! Plan ahead so you can take advantage of sales at the grocery for non-perishable items or things you can freeze. I usually have one “spectacular” dish and lots of finger foods!

  401. Lori says

    My tip for entertaining on a budget is to PLAN! Know what you are serving and shop the sales in advance 🙂

  404. Susan says

    My best tip is to make as much as possible ahead of time. There’s less stress that way and more time to enjoy your guests.
    Susan

  406. son says

    I rarely entertain except for birthdays and occasions like that. I just try my best to always use coupons

  408. Brenda Branch says

    I think having everyone that is coming bring a side dish helps out on the budget because no one person is footing the entire bill.

  411. Vee Jones says

    sams club is a great place to shop when shopping in bulk. i find it best to plan ahead and be prepared to shop a little at a time and look for ideas on the way. a new mixer in my home would just make my new year along with personally always wanting one of my own instead of gazing at them as i walk by.lol

  412. mayra says

    I love to buy in Sam’s Club because we found every time a lot of good food. For family reunion or my scrapbooking group with the budget I buy semi-homemade meals.

  413. anash says

    to entertain on a budget, always check the dollar store for decorations! Thanks for a super giveaway!

  415. Rita A says

    I usually share entertaining dinners with my sister. By splitting the meals, the costs can be reasonable.

  425. Erin says

    When I make appetizers, I make double or triple what I need for that event, and freeze the rest. Buying in bulk saves money!

  426. Terri P says

    To entertain on a budget, I offer up finger foods: Swedish Meatballs, Cheese platter, savory crackers, BBQ mini-sausages, hot wings. Makes a great table and there is always plenty for the crowd.

    outofthemist AT gmail DOT com

  431. rosa Parks says

    If you plan well and shop sales you can make a great meal for entertaining on a budget

  434. Krissy says

    I have everyone that is coming to the party/get together bring a dish to share.
    It’s just easier that way. 🙂

  437. Kristen M. says

    My best tip for entertaining is I create lots of apps with different things I have in the freezer which my gues seem to love. That way I just have drinks and the fresh foods such as fruits and veggies to buy.

  441. Briss says

    I would say that the best tip is to check stores like the 99cent store you never know what good finds you can get.

  442. Rianna says

    My best tip for entertaining on a budget is getting the “3 Buck Chuck” wines from Trader Joe’s. They are surprisingly good, especially for the price!

  444. Jennifer Sombutmai says

    I have several tips for entertaining, but my favorite one is “remember it’s only an event, not the pivotal moment of your life. Let people help, and don’t think about the things you couldn’t do; nobody knows you meant to make new curtains for the living room/buy new towels for the guest room/create a french bistro tray of petite pastries/etc.” About 30 minutes before people arrive, light a candle in each public restroom and any outdoor seating spaces. It creates a warm welcome and encourages people to wander rather than huddle in one tiny space.

  445. Haley Grossman says

    I don’t usually do a lot of formal entetaining…but I find it best to keep it simple and casual. Do something that’s easy, that u know u do well. The simpler the better for me when it comes to saving money on entertaining!
    hgrossman at cableone dot net

  446. Suzy says

    Less is more… In the past I have always went overboard with food. I have learned that to keep a tighter budget is to keep it simple and healthy.
    Thank you for the chance to win a fabulous mixer! 🙂

  448. Brenda McKnatt says

    I decide what I am going to serve, make out the grocery list and stick to it.
    We like going to Sams buying in bulk, this in itself helps to keep the cost down when having to buying later at a regular grocery store.

  452. Deborah says

    I don’t entertain like I would like to, but I guess my tip would be not to go overboard. Whenever my family gets together, we always end up with WAY too much food – not even half of it gets eaten!

  453. Tammy Lippert says

    I like to serve up meals buffet style when I’m entertaining to save both time and money! :o)

  455. Katie says

    I dont get to do too much entertaining, but asking guests to contribute in a sort of pot luck fashion or creating a “bar” where guests can create their own version of something is pretty easy and budget friendly!

  457. Amy Davis says

    Potluck is the way to go! Provide a few staples or a main dish, then ask everyone to bring a side or desert. Plus this way you get a better variety and might try something new ! Themed potlucks are fun too 🙂

  458. AMBER says

    I love throwing parties and plan my menus according to the ads in the newspaper and what is on sale that week! Thanks

  459. AMBER says

    I love throwing parties and plan my menus according to the weekly newspaper ads and what is on sale! Thanks

  462. Cynthia Rathunde says

    I have a son who just loves to have Clemetines in the house for a snack! I like the recipes you have shared with us.

  465. Cynthia Rathunde says

    I do all the prep work the day before to allow for minimal time in the kitchen the day of the event. 😉

  466. Christie says

    While I love entertaining, 2012 is the year we stick to a budget. In order to do this, I’m cutting back on the amount of food I prepare. Instead of cooking for a small army, I’m going to focus on a couple really good things and have a few nibbles out for snacking.

  472. Jane says

    Best tip to entertain on a budget is finding great recipes that taste good but the ingredients won’t break the bank, or even better, are things you already have on hand!

  478. Ashley Hatten says

    my best tip for entertaining on a budget is to buy in bulk and use coupons where you can! thanks for the giveaway!

  484. patsy says

    I love entertaining friends and family at our home! We had gotten out of the habit of doing it until recently though. I like to pick up my own veggies and create a veggie and dip tray on my own. I can get all of the veggies we like AND they haven’t been sitting there for a few days before I serve them. Fresher and cheaper!

  485. Niki says

    I’m huge on sam’s club for ingredients and also on potluck. I can have people pover and entertain, but also have them bring in items that fit the theme. I also will have it be a BYOB, for two reasons, one I don’t drink and two, not buying booze leaves me more $ to spend on food!

  487. Cynthia says

    I’m a fan of Sam’s Club a regular shopper there too! When we shop at Sam’s it always makes extra so I fresh my tasty treats so we always get a least a double dose of our favorites and save money… I would love to win this mixer – I had my mothers that she used which was about 50 years old and it finally gave out so my kitchen would love a new one!!

  488. Tracy says

    Basing the menu off what is currently on sale is the best way to go when entertaining on a budget.

  490. Shannon says

    SOUP buffet! It’s fun, inexpensive, colorful/beautiful to display, and everyone can pick their favorites.

  492. Nancy @ Rivertree Kitchen says

    IT was quiet around here on New Year’s, but we are planning a big bash next weekend for the Packers playoff game. Your shrimp sound fantastic, but I want to know what you did with the clementines.

  493. diane p says

    I usually focus on a starch such as rice, pasta, potato, and center the meal on that grain, then simply add a small amount of animal protein to it, such as a few shrimp, some braised cheaper cut of meat, hamburger, chicken, or pork., such as pasta with shrimp, or pork stew, or sweet and sour meatballs on rice with vegies. The meat is simply an accent to the rest of the dish.

  498. Ruth says

    We use real dishes and just wash them. We also try to buy in bulk and freeze whatever we don’t use and make everything from scratch. Potlucks are also always fun!

    rutheadler at gmail.com

  499. Deanne H. says

    I always try to limit my food choices down to a few. Not so much to save money but to save my sanity. Also, I usually make a signature cocktail instead of a bar

  500. JoAnna says

    My tip for entertaining on a budget is keeping the menu simple and planning ahead based on what is on sale.

  501. Emily W. says

    I love using simple recipes that can be prepared ahead of time. Less stress is a good thing!

  503. Sheryl says

    To entertain on a reasonable budget keep it simple. Use what you have on hand as much as possible.
    Thank you for the chance to win a mixer.

  504. Debbie C says

    Buying bulk size snacks and goodies at Sam’s Club is the best tip for economical entertaining. Sodas too! For more upscale entertaining, their frozen snacks are good choice. Also, when guests ask if they can bring something, say YES! Make it something small, a 2 liter of soda or a bag of chips or whatever, but let them contribute if they offer.

  508. Sara H. says

    I tend to make a lot of snacks that require cheap ingredients. I like to make oven fries, because potatoes are so inexpensive. We also make homemade guacamole when avocados are on sale.

  509. Rebecca H says

    Make lots of appetizers, small bites, or pots of soup. You can stretch meat and other ingredients this way to feed a crowd.

  510. Christine M says

    The best way to entertain on a budget is to potluck. That way your not financially responsible for the whole party and you get to ask your friends to make a dish of theirs that you absolutely love.

  518. Manette Gutterman says

    I stock up when things are on sale so when I need to entertain I already have my freezer or pantry stocked!

  519. Michelle says

    I love being able to make ahead everything and then just set it out or warm it up when it is time.

  524. Bonnie Kaye says

    Always make a plan of what you will serve and all you will need before you go to the store to buy your groceries so you can stay on budget.

  532. Bhav says

    My best tip is to not overcook. When there is too much food at the end of the party, the extras are either distributed (which may or may not be consumed by the guests later) or the hosts are forced to eat them which again might not happen.

  536. Erika Timmer says

    My best tips for entertaining on a budget is to plan ahead. Use fruit and veggies that are in season currently with your meal as these are usually on sale.

  542. Tian Kinasih says

    My best tip for entertaining on a budget, hit the closest Sam’s club and you’ll find great brand on the lowest price! Or if you’re not a member of Sam’s Club, try to find a good deal on your local groceries and do couponing, it save your budget! thank you for the chance, 🙂

  546. Tracy says

    I like to entertain friends by having a dessert and coffee bar in the evening – it doesn’t entail the expense that a meal would but it’s still fun and lets me show off my mad baking skills. Brew plain coffee (unflavored), have bowls of chocolate chips, mildly sweetened whipped cream, packets of sugar and sugar substitute, a couple of sweet liqueurs; and then have plates of different kinds of homemade cookies, arrange an assortment of fresh fruit in a bowl, put out a serving board (or plate) with a chunk of a soft mild ripened cheese, a firm piquant cheese, and a salty or sweet cheese along with some water crackers and a few nuts, and finally put something spectacular (cheesecake, bundt cake, layer cake, etc) on a pedestal with plenty of plates, cups, napkins, knives, forks and spoons so everyone can sample and enjoy.

  547. Nina J says

    Entertaining on a budget. Search circulars for items that are on sale the week of your party and plan your menu based on what is on sale.

  551. Nancy L says

    I always like to prepare as much ahead of time as possible and make just enough food so everyone is happy, but there are few, if any, leftovers.

  552. Pat K says

    We lower the cost by all getting together and everyone brings something. That way no one person has to spend a lot.

  557. Stephanie L says

    We like to have lots of parties and the best way we’ve been able to cut costs is to do a pitch-in.

  559. Melissa Huffman says

    I choose my main dish (meat) based on what is on sale the previous week or two since that is usually the largest expense for entertaining company.

  560. Melissa Huffman says

    I just became a fan on Sam’s Club and I wish I did it long ago as I am a member 🙂
    Maybe now it will win me the mixer though!

  562. Lisa says

    Use everyday ingredient in a different form – last bits of sandwich bread can be repurposed as spicy bread crumbs that jazz up plain-jane chicken strips. Or marinate slivers of that common chicken breast onto skewers with bites with veggies & fruit. And you can make anything look more glamorous when presented well. You’d be amazed how many new compliments I get for my good-ole recipes I serve over & over again when I use cloth-lined basket or festive tray with multiple tiers!

  566. Dianne@Baking4Six says

    You’ve already hit on it… but the best tip I have is to buy in bulk – keep the menu simple – as in not a lot of different selections 🙂

  567. Sarah says

    I plan my meal around things I have on hand. And if a guest asks “what can I bring”, I actually have them bring something! I hate to go to other’s homes without a dish, and I assume others like to bring a little something as well!

  568. Christine S. says

    I’ve been planning banquets and parties for church for a while now, and as cliche as it may sound… the very best way to save money while entertaining on a budget has got to be cooking/baking most of the edibles. Decorations and flowers, I go to the flower district in downtown and buy by the dozens and stop by the crafts store with big sales going on every time I go.

  571. Sharon says

    My tip is to go with potluck; definitely let your guests help with the food/drinks. I never turn down an offer of help, and most people are happy to bring something.

  574. Claygirlsings says

    Best tip for entertaining on a budget is to be willing to ask for help. Most people are willing to bring a dish or beverage to share, especially if you make a theme that they can participate with – like a favorite dip party!

  582. Kelley Galyen says

    The easiest tip for entertaining on a shoestring is to make the gathering a “Pot-Luck” so that each guest can bring a dish to share. Makes the evening more enjoyable and is a way to try new recipes at the same time.

  584. Jeannette says

    seriously: 2 packs of lil smokies, 1 1/2 cup of your fave bbq sauce, 1 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 cup brown sugar (less if your bbq sauce is sweet), a crockpot and some toothpicks. best thing for getting people together and staving off hunger while the main event is cooking 😉

  594. kaiter says

    Entertaining on a budget has always been about planning ahead and budgeting . I try to plan my menu items on coupons and sales. Plus I keep baking essentials in the pantry at all times, stocking up with sales! No matter what I decide to bake, I usually have the ingredients.

  595. Elizabeth Quezada Lung says

    Would love to win the Kitchen Aid Mixer!! I love entering these giveaways, although, I have yet to win one! Love the recipes, and can’t wait to try the shrimp recipe for a family gathering!

  597. Fara says

    I raid my pantry. I always have SOMETHING in my pantry just waiting to expire. Rather than letting it expire I will just go through it with a fine toothed comb every few months and pull out EVERYTHING that needs to be used and plan meals around whats already in there. Its wonderful. And really costs me nothing but a little sneezing from the dust.

  598. Beastie says

    Lovely potluck, lovely price, as usuall. Fan on Fb. For entertaining we like dips with spices, made from sour cream. Using salt sticks to dip in. Garlic and provance favour is favorite in my family 🙂

  609. Kristen says

    My best tips is just keep it simple. You don’t need a bunch of fancy things to make your guests happy!

  613. Windy says

    My best tip for entertaining on a budget is some crockpot love! You can make all sorts of yumtastic things in a crockpot that yield large quantities for entertaining groups of friends or family. 🙂

  615. Laura says

    I like to make one item that will “Wow” everyone and then serve with simple salads and other items that use mostly staples I always have in the pantry. Everyone loves to try something new and fun which also helps with converstions and then if the rest is good but simple everyone is satisfied but has a memorable time.

  616. Melissa J. says

    Have everyone bring a dish (organize it so everyone doesn’t bring all brownies or all chips). A nice crockpot main dish and buffalo wings are crowd favs and easy for the host.

  619. Rachel L. says

    I buy stuff (mainly paper goods, but also some food) when they’re on sale, or when I find good coupons and save them for when I’m having guests.

  620. Patrina de Joux says

    We have ” Lucky Pot” styled gatherings – where each family contributes a dish on a specified ingredient. The host of the Dinner Party / Gathering is responsible for delegating each ingredient for individual families.

  628. Jeannette Dunaway says

    My best tip to entertaining on a budget is shopping the ads and using the coupons. Set your menu according to what is on sale and you have coupons for.

  636. Mari says

    I suggest gardening in the summer and canning and freeze to use in the winter. I made some delicious tarts using summer fruit this past holiday season.

  645. Janet D says

    Try the many cheeses available at Sams Club. You can make a whole party around a cheese tasting along with an assortment of breads and crackers and a few good drinks.

  646. world cup brazil team says

    France will be guided by 1998 champion Didier Deschamps from the
    sidelines, a mentor who managed to flip the tables in the 2nd leg of the playoffs and send out Ukraine’s relaxation-certain mindset up in
    smoke. This is in fact the most unpredictable staff and one particular that can make bookmakers sigh at any
    time – no one understands – will they be spectacular as in 1998 and 2006 or mediocre as in 2002 and 2010.

    All that can be ascertained is that they have some very worthwhile players, but it really is
    up to them to create the a lot-essential chemistry and make France excellent
    again.
