How to Make a Grocery List for a Weekend BBQ

A BBQ grocery list is easy to underestimate because the meal includes more than what goes on the grill.

Count guests and check preferences

Confirm how many people are coming and ask about dietary restrictions. Avoid making assumptions about what everyone eats.

Plan the full meal

Think mains, buns or bread, vegetables, sides, sauces, drinks and dessert. Add serving utensils and plates if you need them.

Check your supplies

Confirm fuel, foil, trash bags, ice and food-storage containers in advance.

Coordinate contributions

If guests bring dishes, remove those items from your list to avoid duplicates.

Shop safely

Keep perishable ingredients chilled, separate raw meat from ready-to-eat foods and follow current US food-safety recommendations.
