How much should it cost to cook for and/or buy outside food for 8 people, and what kind of foods would they be

For a game night, we either take turns cooking or get takeout/delivery. Outside food (pizza or chinese food) usually costs $10/person. Inside food includes stuff like:



Burgers and salad

$7.5 for the meat, $7 for the salad, $7 for salad add-ons and fixings



frozen ravioli + garlic bread

3 to 4 bags at $7 to $13 + $4 for the garlic bread



2.5lbs sausages + 4 canned vegetables + 2 boxes pasta

$10 to $13 + $4 + $3



corn/tamale casserole + cooked vegetables

$4 for cooked vegetables, dunno about the casserole



Any other ideas for easy, "lazy" (that won't require too much prep time or steps) meals that won't cost too much to feed a party of 8?How much should it cost to cook for and/or buy outside food for 8 people, and what kind of foods would they be
Whoa to much math!How much should it cost to cook for and/or buy outside food for 8 people, and what kind of foods would they be
I get bags of frozen raviolis at Walmart for about $3 per bag - maybe you should shop around and compare prices. Go to Sam's, WalMart or Costco.
