Top Ten: Budget Buffet Basics Revisited

Last year around this time, we did a Top Ten list of Buffet Basics. We firmly believe that the larger part of any buffet costs should go toward the tasty treats, not the serving goods, so we are revisiting the idea today with some new finds (all under $20). See last year's post here and for todays list, jump below for all prices and links:

By Rows, From Top Left:

IKEA Tiered Serving Platter for $14.99

Set of 12 Appetizer Plates for $9.95

Plato Platter for $9.95

Blossom Appetizer Plates for $2.50

Set of 3 Buffet Wire Baskets for $17.85

Set of 8 Cloth Cocktail Napkins for $9.95

Cupcake Holder for 16.95

Set of 16 Samovaari Paper Napkins for $2.95

B. Smith makes wonderful tiered swiveling servers available at Bed Bath & Beyond for less than $30 (with their popular 20% coupons you pay even less). I own 2 and use them at all of my parties, including my holiday party this weekend. They look very classy and coordinate with any decor.

I'd add carafes to the list. Surlatable.com sells some beautiful Italian glass wine carafes for under $20.
