In general I'd say overbuy a little unless you really can't afford to in which case there isn't much point in discussing how much you should buy. One hambuger + one hotdog per person is a little skimpy since some might want more and you might have casualties as mentioned earlier. One industrial sized bottle of ketchup should be sufficient, but having a backup wouldn't hurt. If you get a big container of mustard that should hold no problem. What size are the chip bags? Plates and cups are cheap if you shop around so get a ton and you can save the leftovers. | ||

But for purchasing stuff at its cheapest, it's best to go to wholesaler stores...the types of places that small restaurants and cafes would purchase their supplies from (for like cups, plates, utensils, etc). For food, you'll just have to look out for sales at the grocers in your area. How much you get will depend on who's coming. If it's all guys, I'd say it's safe to go for two burgers and hot dogs per person. If it's all girls...one of each. The best part is leftovers aren't too bad. That's just more food for yourself later. haha. As for drinks and chips...you're going to need a lot more than five bags, and many, many bottles. Drinks go faster than food, generally. Snacks can be weird. Sometimes they'll die quick, sometimes people will barely eat them at all. | ||

40 burgers + 5-10 veggie burgers 50 hotdogs 5 bags of chips is fine, but you could go up to 10 and be ok. you don't really need onions, most people would prefer lettuce/tomatoes anyway 1 large bottle of ketchup and mustard each. 1 bag of charcoal cans are always easier than 2liter bottles but if you are going to go with the bottles, i would say its about 8-10 cups per bottle so judge accordingly. | ||

This is for 40-45 MALE Age 18-23 people @ 3PM with the assumption that they have eaten lunch. (No vegetarians) I'm wondering logistically, | ||

I mean, even if we disregard the fact that he just said it is ~20 year old males who are probably bigger eaters.you guys are way overestimating. 1 burger + 1 hotdog per person is plenty. If someone wants two of the same, they won't have that flexibility. If someone wants to eat a third item, there won't be any unless someone only eats one (which isn't much food at all). I think I agree that some of the suggestions might be a little overboard but I really think 1 burger and 1 hot dog is too little. | ||

also screw flexibility etc, when you're working on a limited budget you just tell people "hey you guys can take 1 burger and 1 hotdog kthx!" and no one will complain. if they are paying $$, it's a different story. | ||

Chips have expiration dates but I believe they are far in the future, but once you open them they will go stale in much less time then their expiration. | ||

Make sure you have lighter fluid or a starter coal - you'll have a heck of a time starting your BBQ otherwise. | ||

I think its irrelevent that they aren't paying or anything, they'd still be content, maybe I just eat a lot but I'd still be hungry and I don't think the host particularly wants that. | ||

Oh I didn't realize it was in addition to lunch. In that case I agree with you. | ||

2 burgers & 1 hot dog per person is a much safer amount. How big are the chip bags? Edit: HAPPY BIRTH DAY MICROnesia!!!! | ||

Yes chips do have expiry dates, usually only last for a few months. | ||

As such, 1 hotdog and 1 burger per person is a little low. 2 Of each would be a good idea. Chips do have expiry dates btw. And one final thing, Unless theres a good reason why your buying all the food, just ask people to bring some BBQ stuff so you dont gotta pay as much. | ||

I hate it when people(co-workers or my friends friends) invite me to go eat and they have the shittiest setup of making a cook-out. I know how to grill and when other people invite me to eat and they fail at it I wanna slit my throat at times. I would rather eat a cold sandwich b/c some people out there have no clue on how to cook outdoors. I'm confused what the asparagus + potato is for. | ||
