budget friendly appetizers for a party
Hi Ladies!
I am throwing a party for DH's bday, but am trying to stick to a budget. I'm thinking food will be the biggest cost since I'm having it at my house. Looks like it'll be b/w 25-30 guests.
Does anyone have recipes for yummy, budget friendly appetizers they love making? Much appreciated!!!
TIA!

Re: budget friendly appetizers for a party
-make pizzas and cut them small
-make mini-meatballs with gravy or dressing on the side to dip them in
-crackers with spreads like peanut butter and jelly on them
-you can make a big pot of soup or chili and serve it in tiny little appetizer cups or bowls
-you can make mini-quiches
-put around bowls of homemade chex mix or regular chips
