1. Games Over Food
A BBQ without food? Blasphemy you say! However, here us out. We aren’t saying to ditch all of the iconic food staples that define the summer BBQ, but why not shake things up a bit by focusing on games that promote relationship building and activities? From potato sack races to a fun-filled game of twister, there are so many different ways you can enjoy time outdoors with family and friends that are not only cheap but take the focus away from stuffing your faces. And if you need snacks? Why not do sliders instead of full burgers? Snack foods can be just as fulfilling and stretch longer without emptying your bank account. Sounds like a win/win to us!
