If you are willing to do some shopping yourself, you can save some cash. Get a corporate membership to a Sam's Club and you can purchase your beverages in large quantities, saving money. They have fantastic prepared boxed salads, in huge containers that are restaurant quality. You can order sheet cakes for dessert there as well as purchase fresh fruit, vegetables, and snacks like crackers, dips, and chips.
Check with local grocery stores for their catering menus, they tend to be cheaper and tastier then larger chains. BBQ, Italian and Chinese foods tend feed a lot of people for cheap, so give them a try. Pizza places like Domino's give great rates for large orders and only require a week's notice for your order. Good luck to you.
