This week, I am throwing a BBQ to celebrate my graduation from Grad school I usually just go to Costco and stock up on stuff, but I thought I would make more things myself to save $$.
Need some ideas for inexpensive sides. I was thinking of classic potato salad, cole slaw, macaroni salad and 3 bean salad. Does anyone have any other ideas, or any really good tried & true recipes for these?
I was debating baking buns/rolls, but I think time/labor outweighs the cost.
Also thinking of grilling corn on the cob - they are on sale for 10 for $1.99 at Pathmark this week.
I have burgers, hot dogs and a marinated london broil in the freezer. Also have chicken breast that I was thinking of marinating and skewering with peppers and onions. Will be picking up extra burgers and dogs, as well as portobello mushrooms for a healthy "burger." I also have veggie burgers from Costco.
We do not drink soda, but I will be picking up Coke/Diet Coke at (5) frig packs (cans) for $11. I think that is a good sale price - is it? Also will have water, iced tea (from mix) and I will be buying some juice for the kids.
Any other food ideas that are cost efficient?
Thanks!
