Football season is well underway and Target has all the essentials you need to celebrate game day without breaking the bank.

Do you plan to buy these eight items for football season during your next Target run?

• Price: $3.59

Paper plates are always a must-buy for those hosting football parties and Target shoppers get a lot more bang for their buck when they purchase up&up paper plates compared to a similar name-brand offering.

Let’s price match up&up’s paper plates compared to the Dixie brand (which is also sold at Target). A 55-count set of up&up plates measuring at 8.5 inches is $3.59 while the same amount and size of paper plates is $4.19 from Dixie. Target shoppers save 60 cents with the up&up brand.

• Price: $4.69

Snack on chili, dips and guac without making a mess using up&up paper bowls. 

Each package includes 42 disposable paper bowls made from heavy-duty paper construction. Clean-up is just as easy once you’re done: simply throw it away.

• Price: $5.59

Keep hands clean while snacking and wipe up spills in a flash using up&up’s make-a-size paper towels.

Each roll includes 150 sheets. The total price for these paper towels will fluctuate depending on how many rolls you purchase in each set. A two-count set is pictured above for $5.59.

• Price: $4.79

What’s a game day without chips? If you’re trying to keep football viewing parties on the healthy side, grab a bag of garden salsa-flavored SunChips. Each chip is 100% whole grain and loaded with the garden fresh taste of ripe tomatoes and jalapeño peppers.

• Price: $2.99

Target shoppers have a near-endless amount of dips to pick from and there’s no real “wrong” answer since most are competitively priced. 

Right now, however, Good & Gather red pepper hummus is on sale for 6% off its regular price of $3.19. Save a little money and pair with your favorite veggies, chips or pita bread for a tasty game day snack.

• Price: $5.99

Save money that might have been spent ordering out pizza in favor of picking up a 50-count bag of Totino’s pepperoni pizza rolls at Target. Now through Nov. 14, Target shoppers receive 50 cents off their purchase using the Target Circle coupon for extra savings.

• Price: $5.99

Add a 10-pack (or two, depending on how much your football-viewing guests love soda) of Coca-Cola mini cans to your Target shopping cart. Regularly $6.29, Target shoppers receive 5% off in savings via the current sale price. 

• Price: $19.99

At nearly $20, the White Claw hard seltzer variety pack is the most expensive item on this roundup and one we think is worth shopping if you partake in hard seltzers. 

Each package includes 12 slim cans of spiked sparkling water with three raspberry, three black cherry, three natural lime and three pineapple flavors.
