Step Up Your Super Bowl Party Game with These Affordable Finds
Throw away those 10-year-old TV trays.
As that old adage goes: Are you ready for some football? Doesn’t matter; here it comes. Whether you’re pumped for the big game, or couldn’t care less, the Super Bowl is this Sunday, which means for some of you a scramble to plan a sick football-watching (ahem, commercial-watching) celebration. Major hurdles to Super Bowl Party planning include (but aren’t limited to) making sure you have enough seats to accommodate your pals and enough clear surfaces to accommodate your good-ass snacks and beers. Then you have to make sure you have enough cups to accommodate everyone’s beer. Finally, it’s best that everyone isn’t eating out of Tupperware.
Here, then, are some of the most magnificent feats of engineering seen on Amazon: affordable kitchenware to serve your gross snacks out of, and some folding chair and tables that don’t look like utter trash you might’ve salvaged from behind a condemned community theater.
