Hey guys! This past weekend I hosted my second ever Friendsgiving and my favorite dish/plate I put together was a charcuterie board! Being Italian, growing up this is a MUST HAVE always and when I say always I mean it! I think it is the perfect addition to your spread and it holds off your hungry guests until dinner is ready.

I decided to buy all of my ingredients at Trader Joe's because lets face it- they are the BEST- price point wise & taste. Here's what I used.

• TJ's Cheese Platter - $5.49
• Gourmet Deli Selection - $5.49
• Volpi Sopresatta Salami - $6.98
• Grapes - $2.99
• Granny Smith Apple - $1.19
• Olive Tapenade - $2.98
• Eggplant Garlic Spread - $2.49
• TJ's Party Pack Crackers - $2.98

Just $30.59! I already had apples & grapes so that brings my total down and means I spent less then $30 on this beautiful spread! The best advice I can give you to make this aesthetically pleasing is different colors & shapes which you can achieve easily with the fruits & cheese.

There you have it babes! Simple, Affordable & a Statement all under $35.

XO,
