@Susan – Tea and lemonade are great suggestions! They are much cheaper and I've found a lot of people prefer them to soft drinks. Fruit salad is another dollar stretcher.

@The Rathbun Family – That's a great suggestion for potlucks. I've never tried that before, but it makes perfect sense to provide desserts and ask everyone else to bring anything other than sweet treats! Thanks for the idea!

Then you can make brownies or cupcakes and have a variety of food.

I use the 3 Gal. containers that you can get at Sam's. They have the spout and are self serve.I make tea and lemonade. Much cheaper then soft drinks. I also make a fruit salad using 4 different fruits. That has worked out really well. I also use my crock pot for whatever I need to keep warm. I have found putting hotdogs in it works very well.
