Super Bowl Party Food Costs Hold Steady for 2025
Hosting 10 people at your Super Bowl party? Wells Fargo Chief Agricultural Economist Michael Swanson says you’ll spend $139, just ten cents less than 2024.
Food prices this year tell an interesting story. While some items jumped 12%, others fell significantly. Careful shoppers can balance their choices to manage expenses.
The popular favorite – chicken wings – jumped 7.2% as demand surged. Guacamole lovers felt the impact too, with avocados up 11.5%. Beer drinkers will pay 2% more for their drinks.
But there’s good news for your budget. Frozen shrimp got cheaper, falling 4%. Snack fans lucked out – both tortilla and potato chips cost less, with the chips-and-guac combo rising just a bit.
Pizza’s more affordable now. Competition between brands and good harvests brought frozen pizza prices down. Dips like salsa and nacho cheese stayed the same.
Looking to save money? Stock up on vegetables. Broccoli and celery prices dropped. Even popular cauliflower became cheaper.
Here’s a budget tip: buy those large two-liter sodas instead of cans. You’ll save money and get more drinks.
The economics behind these changes are clear. Shrimp prices dropped when exports increased and demand decreased. But wings? They’re expensive because everyone wants them for game day.
