How to Save Money When Hosting Bunco

By Scott Hilburn

Time to beat this lousy economy. The bills will still come in but there are ways to save money hosting a bunco party. I plan to show you how!

Our house is a fixer upper that we had been eyeing for some time until we could buy it. Years later we are still working on our home from time to time. Luckily my wife's bunco group tells me a year in advance when her time to host is. Yet my wife and I continue to procrastinate. One way we could have planned better is to break up the cost of the house remodel quarterly instead of one big lump sum.

Hosting a Bunco party can leave you with a large amount of goods after the party is done. My wife over buys which is not a smart way to save money. Planning ahead when stores are having sales make a difference and some of the items can last for a few months. Again, buying items quarterly will take the sting out of one big purchase.

My wife's group knows a year ahead of time when they are hosting. If your hosting time appears near a holiday, buy the paper goods for after this year's holiday. My wife LOVES Halloween, and is hosting in October, 2009. She should be picking up napkins, paper plates, and cups as they are on clearance this Fall. Halloween home decor 75% off will make an economical bunco gift.

We always seem to do Halloween. Which is my wife's favorite holiday. Again we will be hosting in 2009. This year we bought stuff on clearance such as napkins, plates, and cups so we wouldn't pay a premium in 2009. A nice 75% discount never hurts.

Be sure to inventory what you have in your frigerator and cuppord so you won't buy items twice! Once again plan according so you can save time and most of all money!! Don't end up with 12 extra cans of pumpkin like my wife did!!

My friends are teaming up with me to help ease the expense of this expensive get togethers of our wives. So start strategically planning in advance so you will save money and look like a stud in your wife's eyes. - 2361
