Every item on this list costs $1.25 or less—except one mega 144-piece cutlery set—so you can feed and equip a full roster of fans for under ten bucks.
Super Bowl Sunday is the second-largest food-consumption day in America after Thanksgiving, and grocery inflation has driven the average home party tab above $85. Dollar Tree’s fixed-price model turns that narrative on its head.
1. El Sabroso Guacachip Tortilla Chips – $1.25
Real avocado powder baked into each chip eliminates the need for a separate dip, shaving another $3-plus off the bill. Five 1-oz servings per bag keeps portion cost at 25 cents.
2. Snyder’s of Hanover Sourdough Nibblers – $1.25
Nine ounces of pretzels for the price of a single-serve bag at most stadiums. Pair with warmed cheese dip and you’ve cloned the concessions experience for 14 cents a serving.
3. Kit Kat Minis – $1.25
Twenty-four ounces of individually wrapped minis prevents the candy bowl from turning into a germ zone and gives you roughly 60 pieces—enough for every commercial break.
4. Cooking Concepts Decorative Toothpicks & Forks – $1.25
Dual-use picks skewer sliders or olives and double as cocktail stirrers. A 100-count pack costs 1.25¢ per pick—cheaper than washing metal forks.
5. Party Plastic Cutlery Set – $5.00
144 utensils (48 each spoons, forks, knives) breaks down to 3.5 cents per piece. Buy once, stash the leftovers for the next holiday and you’ve effectively prepaid future events.
6. Plastic Serving Bowls – $1.25
Three 6.5-inch bowls hold an entire 15-oz bag of chips each. Lightweight polypropylene means no shattered glass when the touchdown dance gets rowdy.
7. Canada Dry Ginger Ale – $1.25
Two liters serve eleven 6-oz cups. Use it straight or spike with budget bourbon; either way the mixer costs 11 cents per glass.
Bottom-Line Math
- Total basket: $9.75 before local tax
- Feeds: 12–15 fans
- Cost per guest: 65 cents
Compare that to the $6.49 average price of a single 12-inch delivery sub and the savings pile up faster than a goal-line stand.
Investor Angle
Dollar Tree’s commitment to the $1.25 price point—locked in since late 2021—has compressed gross margin by 250 basis points year-over-year, yet traffic rose 4.9 % in the most recent quarter as consumers trade down. That volume elasticity keeps same-store sales positive and shields the stock from discretionary-spending shocks, making DLTR a defensive hedge against recessionary red-zone blitzes.
