Thrifty Festivities
You don't have to spend an arm and a leg to host a successful tailgate! With a bit of creativity and some helpful tips, you can host a party your friends won't be able to stop talking about!
Take Your Food Further
Meat can be the most expensive part of a meal, so take it further by purchasing larger cuts. For example, a pork roast can be shredded for pulled pork sandwiches to feed a crowd!
Top Your Tailgate
Football season is upon us and having a great tailgate doesn't have to be expensive! Pack a simple tablecloth in your team's colors and grab snacks and drinks from your local Schnucks!
Raid Your Fridge, Freezer and Pantry
Before you go out shopping for ingredients, take a look at what you have on hand. Using what you already have as the base of your meal inspiration can help you to shop mindfully.
Shop Your Home
Look no further than what you have lying around when it comes to decorating for a tailgate or party! Bring out that foam finger from college and craft a pennant banner out of some string and colored paper. The possibilities are endless!
Plan a Perfect Potluck
Not only are potlucks fun, but they are also good for your wallet! As a host, offer to make the main dish and then have your guests bring over sides, desserts, and drinks! You can all enjoy a full dinner, plus you get to try new dishes!
On Hand Entertainment
All you need is a deck of cards to get the party started! If you want to spice it up a bit more, have everyone bring over their favorite board game and wait for the laughs to start flowing.
Get Snackin'
Schnucks has a plethora of snacks fit for a tailgate at a great price. From sweet to salty, we have you covered! Plus, add more spice to your celebration with this easy, delicious and budget-friendly dip!
