Spring 2012 - Money Saving Tips

- Cold food will typically be less expensive than hot food. How about a display of assorted wraps or entrée salads served with hearty, wholesome bread, or a taco bar.

- Know the portion sizes of your selected food caterer and the appetite of your audience. Often times, you can save by reducing the number of portions ordered of say a side salad. For example if you have 25 people attending an event, order a sandwich platter for 25 but only order 15 of an extra side salad.

- Trays are generally very economical. A tray that serves say 20-25 may in fact serve 30 people.

- Save money with drinks: order Airviods of iced tea and water rather than individual cans/bottles of soda.
