    fruit platters, although an awesome and usually popular option, can work out pretty exxy if you're on a budget

    coleslaw is generally pretty cheap and goes well
    could you do baked spuds in foil in the spit, then have garlic butter/coleslaw as topping for them?


    mmmm baked spuds... yummmmm

    honey joys are easy, cheap and popular

    carrot salad is cheap and quite nice

    pasta salad is always good, and easy to upscale


    CARROT SALAD
    3-4 cups freshly grated carrots
    1/2-1 cup raisins
    1 large apple, cored and chopped
    1/4 to 1/3 cup mayonnaise

    potato bake is cheap
    big plate of chopped watermelon is cheaper than a full fruit platter
    I make cupcakes with homebrand packet vanilla cake mix then turn them into butterfly cakes with whipped cream and jam
    little cups with jelly are also cheap

    I generally find kids dont eat much at parties anyway, its the adults that are hungry
