Show Team Spirit

Game Day Buffet

Make things easy for you and the guests by creating a buffet with iconic game day finger foods like wings, dips and sandwiches. Additional easy and affordable recipes, including tasty appetizers and desserts, are available online at Dollar General Easy Meals at dollargeneral.com/easymeals.

Keep food and drinks near the viewing area so guests don’t need to miss a moment of the game to refill their cups or plates.

Save Big on Game Day

Keep football fans happy by planning ahead. Stock up on favorite game day food at a discount retailer like Dollar General and save on items including drinks, chips and snacks.

With a few easy preparations, you can be a star player at the next game day party.
