Reception Dinner on a Dime

If your looking for ideas on how to have a full dinner for your reception on a dime here are some ideas I plan on going with.

SAM'S CLUB! Definitely check out Sam's for cost savings. We compared costs from Sam's, a wholesaler and a dollar store. Sam's was the cheapest of all.

Here's some prices for items my mom found at Sam's
  • 300 ct of forks $8.78
  • 16oz cups 100 count for $7.68
  • 9oz cups 200 ct $8.34 (Probably going to go with the smaller cups to limit how much alcohol everyone can get at a time!)
  • 6 1/4" clear plates 70 ct $8.78
  • 3.0 Liter bottles of wine $8.98
  • Lasagna serves 12 $9.98 (We're probably going to go with meat from a cow our family is butchering but if we don't lasagna seems like the easiest and cheapest way to serve the mass of people at the reception!)


SAMs has a wide variety of wine (depending on if your state sells wine in grocery stores). Below are some pics of their cheapest wine...but their price range varies from way cheap to $20 a bottle!

  2. In the state of Missouri, Sam's carries a wide variety of wines. They range in price from $8.98 to over $25. You may choose from several different red wines, white wines and blushes. They have wines from local wineries and as far away as Australia. They pretty much have as big a selection, or more, than a liquor store. They also sell premium liquor and champagne.
