Cash-strapped Britons planning a barbecue are being offered advice on how to keep the cost down.
John Stirzaker from NetVoucherCodes.co.uk said: “Having a barbecue is a quintessential part of the UK summer but they’re not the cheapest events to host. Meat can be costly and it’s easy to get seduced and buy the best cuts and cook the lot.“Instead shop around and see what offers you can find. Also think about asking your guests to bring a pudding, salad or even some of the meat with them. That way it’ll cut the cost burden on you and you can do the same when you’re invited to theirs.
“Remember too that whilst the food is a big part of a BBQ, it’s about getting together with family and friends and enjoying time together.”Crisps, nachos and dips are a great, cheap starter for guests. Opt for supermarket own brand and decant into bowls.Be smart when it comes to shopping for food for your BBQ. Check out the yellow sticker items in the supermarket and stock up on burgers, sausages and any other meaty treats. If they’re close to their sell by date, freeze.
