No need to blow your budget on meat. Skipping the expensive meat doesn’t mean you’re missing out on flavour! Instead of t-bone steaks, go for flank steaks. Forgo the chicken breasts, and dig into chicken legs and thighs - which, may I add, I find to be much more flavourful! No need to leave fish out as well. Try bass fillets or even shrimp as a catchy alternative!

Team effort!

Make it a communal. There is no shame in asking your friends and family to bring a side dish. Not only does it give them a chance to show off their fave dishes, but it also saves you some time and money!

Spice it up!

You know that spice rack that is collecting dust on your kitchen counter? Yeah that one, use it! Make your own seasonings for your meats, fish, vegetables and salads. Standard dressings and sauces are quite expensive. Nothing tastes more satisfying than something that you personally put together! A little bit of this with a dash of that.. now you got it!

Shop the sale!

Keep an eye out for great sales and deals on food and snacks. And stock up! Do you have a membership to one of those warehouse clubs? If so, this would be a great time to cash in and use it! Buying in bulk and for a great deal is obviously a winning situation! P.S- don’t forget your coupons!

These few simple tips, will have you keeping money in your pocket and still having a good time!

Happy planning and happy bbq’ing!
