The cost of Super Bowl party snacks may not have changed significantly, but some popular food items are increasing in price. According to a Wells Fargo report, the average menu for 10 people is expected to cost $139 this year, only up from last year by 10 cents.
However, prices for certain ingredients and prepared foods have seen large increases. Avocados, cherry tomatoes, and red bell peppers are among those that have risen in price, with increases ranging from 3.4% to 11.9%.
On the other hand, some party staples have decreased in price, including celery, broccoli, and potato chips, which have dropped by as much as 8.4%.
To save money on Super Bowl snacks, consumers can consider alternatives like making guacamole from scratch instead of buying prepared dip, or opting for a different protein source like burgers instead of chicken wings.
Additionally, hosting the party at home, repurposing existing decor, and skipping professional entertainment can also help reduce costs. By being mindful of prices and making smart choices, party hosts can control their budgets without sacrificing the fun and festive atmosphere of the Super Bowl.
