Cooking for a crowd on a tight budget can sometimes seem a bit much – but we show you how you can do it with some shopping tips for budget meals and some actual meal ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making cheap meals does not mean you should cook buttered pasta and fried rice.
You can be a little more creative and with a little planning added you can achieve a really tasty result that has your guests going WOW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, remember people look first at the food before they eat – so presenting it well will make a big difference to the event\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meals prepared for family reunions, weekend getaways, and school functions are important celebrations that need good menu preparation and ingredient planning and well-budgeted shopping where you can get many of the ingredients in bulk. It is very tempting to be thrown off track if you just go to the supermarket without a proper plan or list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On that list also write down exactly what quantities to buy – so you do not over-cater, or worse under-cater and end up having to go back to the market again – this costs time and money.<\/p>
