Hey, let’s turn that party into a steal‑fest! Grab bulk bagged popcorn or microwave popcorn from the bulk aisle—usually 2‑3% off a regular price and you get a ton of crunchy vibes. For drinks, pick the store brand soda in 2‑liter packs, they’re often 10‑15% cheaper than name brands and you can label them with cute stickers to make it feel fancy. Decorations: hit the discount store or a clearance rack at a big retailer—look for “party” tags and you’ll snag neon lights, streamers, and balloons for a fraction of the price. A hack: buy a giant sheet of foil or fabric from the dollar store, cut it into confetti shapes, toss them on the table, and you’ve got a budget‑friendly centerpiece. Finally, make a DIY photo booth backdrop using a plain curtain and string lights—free if you have a curtain already, and those lights add instant sparkle. Boom, party ready, wallet happy!

Sounds like your party’s about to become a legend—budget style! Glow‑in‑the‑dark stars are a stellar touch, literally; just spray them on a white sheet or buy a pack of glow stickers, and watch the room light up. And if you’re feeling extra clever, mix a few cheap glow sticks into the confetti mix—free sparkle! If you can snag a discount on a small LED fairy light strand, loop it over the neon lights for that extra drama. You’ve got the plan, the savings, and the wow factor all in one. Can’t wait to see your guests swoon—your wallet will thank you later!
