Every year my wife complains about how much money she spends hosting bunco! I see some of the bills and almost go into cardiac arrest myself. In a sluggish economy, everyone tries to save money, even at bunco. Hosting the event does not have to be overly expensive, but the trick is planning ahead.
In our fixer upper home we have to fix a thing or two before hosting bunco. A smart couple would plan ahead but we would wait to the last minute. Next party will be smarter! We are going to do a project every 3-4 months so we can save money and improve our home at the same time!
Hosting a Bunco party can leave you with a large amount of goods after the party is done. My wife over buys which is not a smart way to save money. Planning ahead when stores are having sales make a difference and some of the items can last for a few months. Again, buying items quarterly will take the sting out of one big purchase.
My theme of buying ahead is prevailing! I understand you can not buy lettuce two months before bunco, but you can buy olives, crackers, and non-perishable ingredients. If the item is on sale, and you have a coupon, you may have felt like a bunco winner, and the dice have not begun to roll yet! Choose group-friendly entrees, such as casseroles, chili, enchiladas, or even pizza. Limiting the appetizers will help you save money as well.

Be sure to inventory what you have in your frigerator and cuppord so you won't buy items twice! Once again plan according so you can save time and most of all money!! Don't end up with 12 extra cans of pumpkin like my wife did!!
