So apparently inflation isn’t just ruining brunch...it’s coming for your Super Bowl party too. The money nerds at FinanceBuzz say hosting ten people this year will run you about $167. Last year? $155. That’s a 7.2% jump—faster than the actual game clock moves in the last two minutes.
Wings, of course, are the real villain here. Ten pounds will cost around $39, up almost 25% from last year. Potato chips, beer, and even veggie trays all cost more too. Only soda’s holding steady, bless those carbonated bubbles.
In case you’re wondering, that $167 only covers the basics—chips, wings, a veggie tray, three 12‑packs of beer, and three of soda. Nothing fancy. No sliders, no guac mountain, no dessert dip.
Compared to 2020, (Remember, that one time the Chiefs won!) hosting’s up nearly 44%.
So yeah—your wallet might lose before Seattle or New England does.
