| Dip (3 tbsp ≈ 1.5 oz each) | 3 × 16 oz containers |
| Salsa (16 oz jars) | 3 |
Plan 2 oz of chips per person — a 15 oz party-size bag serves 7–8 people. For dip, 3 tablespoons per person means a 16 oz container covers about 10 guests.
Refill bowls from bags in the kitchen instead of putting out giant bowls — chips stay crisp and consumption self-regulates.
Adjusting for your crowd: kids eat about two-thirds of adult portions; knock 25% off any single item when several mains share the table; add 25% for teenagers and big appetites. When in doubt, round up on the cheap items (buns, chips, ice) and stay exact on the expensive ones.
