I really want to have an end of the year pool party. any cheap ideas?

Question

budget is up to 50 dollars.

Answer 1

Easiest/cheapest? Potluck. How many are coming? For that budget, you could provide snacks (chips/salsa/veggies), cups and plates, and the ice and pop. Designate some guests to bring the beer (if you drink), some to bring the salad, some to bring dessert, and others to bring the main dishes.

Alternatively, if you wanted to barbecue, you could get hot dogs/hamburgers/gardenburgers instead of the snacks and pop and just ask others to bring snacks and pop.

Answer 2

get some streamer's and ballons

pop and chips and some small sandwiches like pb& j tuna salad .

Answer 3

Shop around for sales on chicken wings, or b*****s and just grill whats on sale....fix a quick salad...lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives,,,whatever..and grill some corn with the meat you choose, some chips and dip or salsa of our choice.get some pop or water and announce on the invites its BYOB if you're old enough to drink.....it'll be great. Just shop on sale...don't ask your guests to bring much... as that is just tacky and un hospitable to me;) Have a grrrreat time!!!

Answer 4

$50 is a lot of money for food when you consider i eat for a week on about $50 or $60. I would make minni wennies wraped in crossent rolls, hot artachoke dip with triscets, and quseo dip with chips. For desert buy some choclate chip cookies. Rember don't go in the water for 30 mins after eating.

Answer 5

spend most of it on decorations and just have everyone bring some sort of appetizer

Answer 6

Buy a 20-lb bag of shaved ice and get a couple flavors of syrup to make sno-cones.  Be sure to have paper cups to put them in.  A couple of large watermelons (seed spitting contest!) and some cookies and you're in business.  Let them eat lunch at home.
