Most of us can\u2019t afford Super Bowl tickets. That\u2019s even more true this year considering tickets are selling for more money than ever before<\/a>. Maybe you think you can\u2019t even afford to host a Super Bowl party at your own home! But we have some savings advice that will make you feel better about sending out party invites. Also count on our advice to include energy savings tips<\/a>! So, let\u2019s dive into our tips for throwing a Super Bowl party you can afford in Albany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affordable Food for a Super Bowl Party<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Food is probably what you spend the most money on when you host a party. But follow our advice to save money and energy on your Super Bowl menu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Fried Chicken Wings:<\/strong> Air fryers are fast. In fact, they\u2019ll get you to the endzone faster than Brandon Aiyuk. This also helps keep electricity costs low. Fry up a game-day classic, crispy chicken wings, which only need about 15 minutes to cook! Comparatively, in a conventional oven, you need 45 minutes plus pre-heating. Pair with homemade buffalo sauce<\/a> to spice things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow Cooker Chili:<\/strong> Save time and energy with an inexpensive slow cooker chili<\/a>. A slow cooker uses about 200 watts per hour. On the other hand, an electric stove burner uses over 1,000 watts an hour. That can really drive up your NY energy bill<\/a>. The basic components of chili\u2014beans, ground beef, tomato, and onions\u2014are all cheap. Once you have that down, customize the recipe to make it your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charcuterie Board:<\/strong> This party food is a zero-energy choice for your party. However, it\u2019s easy to spend a lot of money on cured meats and cheeses. Shop around and find some cheese on sale and keep your meat selection simple with a variety pack. Add in cheaper elements like cherry tomatoes, berries, mixed nuts, pickles, etc. Be flexible and find sales!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice Crispy Treats:<\/strong> Finally, we come to dessert. This option is low energy and low effort. Alternatively, spend more time making them look nicer if you want! Unlike a cookie or cake, rice crispy treats<\/a> only require a few minutes from the stove top. This keeps your energy spending down. Dress them up by dipping in melted chocolates. Celebrate your team with color coordinated sprinkles or frosted jersey numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Ways to Cut Party Energy Costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not stopping at food! Here are a few more tips to cut your electric company<\/a> bills at your Super Bowl Party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
