An Update on the Family: My Grandfather has stabilized and they’re requesting I stay home until he’s released from the hospital because of my immune system. FIL is still doing great. My niece hasn’t decided to arrive yet. It looks like we’re going to chill here and wait out the winter storm.

To be totally honest, I don’t give a flying fandango about professional football. You can get me to sit down an watch a game of college ball if Penn State is playing, but I don’t really have a vested interest in that either. While I love to play sports, I find watching them on TV incredibly boring. So when the SuperBowl comes around, I tend to watch the sales rather than the game.

It’s a great time to stock up on party supplies, whether or not  you’re actually hosting for the game. A lot of related items that you might not think of go on sale as well, like ground beef.

So anyway, things that usually go on sale for the Superbowl:

  • Ground Beef
  • Steaks
  • Condiments (ketchup, mustard, etc.)
  • Potatoes
  • Avocados
  • Carrots and other ‘vegetable tray’ veggies
  • Canned Soda (Pop)
  • Hot Dogs
  • Chips + Dip
  • Disposable Utensils
  • Disposable Cups/Plates, etc.
  • Paper Products (napkins, etc.)

Depending on the kind of foods your family eats, you can save a ton. I usually stock up on Hot Dogs (they freeze well), meat, and condiments.
