How to Start Planning a Super Bowl Party for Under $30
It might be too early to know who is playing in Super Bowl LII, but it’s the perfect time to start planning for it. At one dollar zone, you can find everything you need to make a memorable Super Bowl party — all for under $30.
Food and Cooking
A Super Bowl party needs a variety of different kinds of Super Bowl party food. First up: put out some Super Bowl party appetizers like pretzels, chips, salsa, dip, candy choices and more for when those inevitable game-day munchies strike. Remember, everyone is watching the TV so the food should be simple, and easy to eat without being focused.
For something sweet, add some football-inspired cupcakes as a snack that is perfectly sized so it can be handled easily while you’re cheering on your team. At One Dollar Zone, you can find the name brands you trust — such as Kraft, Pringles, Lindt, Wise, Hershey’s and more — for only a $1.
Stock up on serving dishes for salsa and chips so there are lots to pass around. If you have a few extras on hand, you’ll avoid having to wash and rewash them on game day. Otherwise, you could miss the big play that decides the outcome of the game.
With each item costing $1 – you can get 2 bags of candy, 2 bags of chips, a jar of salsa, dip, cupcake mix, a bag of pretzels, and 3 serving plates for only $11.
Party Items
The party items you choose can take your Super Bowl party to the next level. Add a classic feel to your party by choosing cups and plates in the Super Bowl team colors – or better yet, choose the football-themed plates and napkins that will make any party goer happy even if their team didn’t make it to the big game. At one dollar zone, we have plates that are emblazoned with footballs and other related images and festive designs. Don’t forget to stock up on the napkins for all those messy finger foods. Make sure to purchase more utensils than you think you need to ensure that you don’t run out unexpectedly.
With each item costing $1 – you can get 2 packs of napkins, 2 packs of plates, 2 packs of utensils, and 2 packs of cups for only $8.
Decor
What’s a party without the festive decor? This year, make your Super Bowl party even better by getting creative with the decor. A tablecloth with a football theme is a must. If you are the creative type, head to One Dollar Zone and stock up on craft supplies to make your own Super Bowl props like pennants, signs, and scoreboards.
With each item costing $1 – you can get a tablecloth and posterboard to create a fun party sign for only $2.
Drinks
No Super Bowl party is complete without a variety of beverages to wash down all that great food. While most Super Bowl gatherings feature copious amounts of beer, many of your guests will likely want to drink something else with their meal. Having a variety of different sodas on hand is also important if there are kids at your party.
Instead of serving just beer this year, try adding cocktails. Mix up your favorite recipe or try adding fruit juice to different spirits for a new twist on an old favorite. Fruit juice is also ideal to keep on hand for the littlest children who might not be fond of soda yet.
With each item costing $1 – you can get 2 bottles of soda and 2 bottles of juice for only $4.
That leaves you with $5 left of your $30 party budget to add extra goodies as needed! So, when you’re shopping at one dollar zone, remember:
- Serve a variety of foods including finger foods.
- Keep lots of utensils, napkins, and plates on hand.
- Stock up on drinks of all sorts.
Regardless of whether your Super Bowl party is a casual affair with just a few friends and neighbors or you’re throwing the Super Bowl party of the century, One Dollar Zone is your headquarters for everything you need. Because everything in our stores is only one dollar, you can easily keep your Super Bowl party budget to $30 and under.
