A One- Stop Shopping Hostess Game Plan… For Game Day!
As you may know know, Corey and Safeway have partnered* to share tips for easy, fun, budget-savvy entertaining.
Here are some of those tips for celebrating this weekend’s big game.
Touch Down Tips for Hosting a Super Bowl Bash
Throw a Spiral—For some real fun, get creative and give your drinks, appetizers & deserts themed team names and colors. Also, serve your treats from a vendor’s tray. Decorate a cardboard storage box lid, punch a hole on either side, and tie on a wide ribbon that’s long enough so you can hang the tray around your neck.
Quick Tip- Line those serving trays with (compostable) parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Avoid Those Running Backs—No hostess wants to run out of food or back to the store. Plan ahead, take advantage of sales and buy chips and paper goods in bulk when possible. It’s great to stock up on cleaning supplies at your local Safeway- they offer one-stop shopping and thousands of everyday low prices on EVERYTHING a hostess needs… from made to order deli platters and sandwiches at Safeway’s Signature café, to snacks, dips, recycled-content paper towels, … and even non-toxic cleaners for messes created during exciting plays!
Digital Discounts- A lot of great deals come through online promotions. Many local businesses send coupons and special deals and offers via email. The digital era has even found ways to cut down on coupon clipping time! When you visit Safeway.com, you can download digital coupons right onto your Club Card through the CouponLink program. Simply find the coupons you want to use, shop the store and swipe your card at checkout—all of your coupons are automatically redeemed! No fumbling with pieces of paper.
Be a Team Player - When attending a Super Bowl party ask the host if they would like you to arrive early to help set up and what they would like you to bring. Also, make sure to assist with the clean up as well. This will surely score you an invite back next year!
Make sure you use your Safeway club card and download their coupons.Go to Safeway.com.
