We throw large parties at least 3 - 4 times a year.   This means that I am always buying raw material in bulk - rice, various flours, lentils, whole spices, oil etc - to keep costs down, and I cook all the food myself.

One of the most cost-effective and easy to make foods is to make fresh pasta in bulk.  I directly store it in freezer and use it for my parties.  Similarly, I make a killer all-purpose meat based pasta sauce that is better than anything you can get commercially.  I also make it in bulk too.  https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/130358/worlds-best-pasta-sauce/

I also Sandra Lee some of my recipes. I make a lovely dessert for large parties - sugared fruit and custard on a flaky crusty sweet pastry square...and I just saw at a bakery that these sell individually from $3-$6.   :shock:

If you do not need bulk items - just go grocery shopping with a few friends at Costco, and then divvy up the portions.  You will see your grocery bills halved, even with the inflation.  [/quote]
