Have Memorial Day Essentials Catered At Grocery Stores In WNY

One of the first big party weekends of the summer is coming up soon.  If you're planning a menu right now to feed guests, don't even think about cooking this year.

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner.  If you're going to be having guests over or throwing a huge blowout party, consider having your food catered.  You'd be surprised what you can get just from the grocery store.

Parties can be a lot of work

For years, we used to throw a huge Memorial Day party.  We would have tons of friends over, we would open up the pool, play some yard games, and most importantly, eat tons of food.  The only problem was that it became so much work to get the house ready, buy enough drinks, and prepare the food that we rarely got any time to just visit with all the people that we invited over.

One of the best things we did was when we decided that we were going to just order some food and have it delivered.  While it felt like a cop-out at first, it was a game changer.  The food was amazing, and we had much more time to just enjoy the company of the people that were coming over.

Think of grocery stores when getting food catered

A lot of the time, when people think of getting food catered, they think of huge catering companies.  Don't get me wrong, they're great and you can get some incredible food.  But if you aren't feeding 500 people, you could get by and still really enjoy some of the things that you can get at grocery stores in Western New York.

Just remember:

Order in advance - Never wait until the last minute

Count your guests - Knowing the number of people at your party will help you plan how much food you really need

Remember drinks and ice - We often remember the drinks and forget to order ice too!

Ask if they have any specials - You're ordering from a grocery store.  They have specials all the time around the holidays.
