More than 1.25 billion chicken wings will be consumed during this upcoming Super Bowl, totaling more than 100 million pounds of wings, according to the National Chicken Council’s 2012 Wing Report. If the wings were laid end-to-end they would circle the circumference of the Earth – more than twice. 14,500 tons of chips as well as 4000 tons of popcorn will be eaten during the big game. 69.6 million pounds of avocados will be used for guacamole dips.
The average Super Bowl party host will spend between $50 and $100 on food for their party. 38% will spend under $50, 12% will spend over $100. With so much money and time spent on eating during the Superbowl, the folks at ZipList.com, recipe discovery and grocery shopping list app, have put together the Ultimate Superbowl Checklist for Giants and Patriots fans.
Here are helpful shopping hints from ZIpList as well as links to chicken wing recipes from healthy options, to pure gluttony.
1. Shop for non-perishables like soda, chips, and cheeses, this weekend, they are likely already on sale and you’ll avoid massive lines the Saturday before the Superbowl. And since it’s American Heart Month, keep an eye out for healthy snacks on sale.
2. Don’t buy premade food like dips or precut vegetables. You’ll save a few extra bucks by cutting up your own crudities and fruits, and mixing your own dips using low fat sour cream or yogurt as the base.
3. And what’s a Superbowl party without the booze? You may be tempted to stock up on everything during one trip to your local grocer, but you can save money on beer and liquor by heading to a state liquor store, where prices are usually cheaper.
