Ground beef prices are up, shrimp prices are down. How to save on a Super Bowl party.

Expect there to be plenty of in-home Super Bowl LVIIl parties this year, as great interest and anticipation builds for the big game, which this year pits the San Francisco 49ers against the Kansas City Chiefs. 

Given relatively high employment and wage growth in the U.S., spending on watch parties is likely to be robust.

While at-home food prices are up 1.3%, fluctuating costs in different categories of eats may present some opportunities to save — and could affect the types of meats, chips, dips and sodas on offer at hosted watch parties.
