Isn't Target the best?

Now that I'm back from vacation and feeling better after being sick these past couple of days, I decided it was time to get the party planning into full gear. Before leaving for vacation I investigated having the event catered, but when I saw the ridiculously high prices I couldn't bring myself to get the charge card out. So I decided to serve chicken fajitas, a very easy entree to make. Of course I'll have beans, which I can make in my sleep and rice, which I couldn't make right to save my life. So I'm having a local restaurant make the rice. My first stop was the restaurant supply store where I bought these wire chafing dishes.
They cost $9.99 and as you can see in the picture they provide the sterno and aluminum serving dishes. I'll simply make the chicken fajitas and the beans a day or two in advance, store them in the aluminum pans and simply reheat before the party. It shouldn't be too difficult.
This is what they look like assembled and you can see I purchased a bunch of extra serving pans. I contacted the restaurant and ordered 8 quarts of rice and I'm simply going to drop a few of these serving pans off at the restaurant on Friday and they will put my rice order in our serving pans. So it will be heat and eat! I'm feeling pretty good at this point.

I was very organized this morning. I actually made a list of items that I wanted to shop for today. I then went to Cost Plus and checked out their prices, then I went to Lowe's and checked out their prices, then I went to Target and was amazed to see that everything cost about half of what the other two stores charged. I purchased all the "paper" plates and cups in these festive colors.
I needed some big serving bowls as well as condiment bowls and I found these cute plastic serving bowls. They were only $1.99 a piece. I was sad because they didn't have serving bowls in green and they only had two red. They had matching smaller bowls which I will use for condiments. Do you see how perfectly they match the paper plates and cups?
What inspired this whole color scheme were the paper lanterns that I found at Target. I purchased a total of 30 paper lanterns and I think they are going to make great decorations. I'm going to hang them under my deck where I plan on setting up the buffet tables. Doesn't everything look like they were made to go together? I'm terribly pleased with myself.
Here's what the paper lantern looks like and I have them in blue, yellow, green, and red. I got all of these supplies for only $92 dollars. Isn't Target the best? I'm really starting to get excited about giving this party.
