Are you looking for budget friendly 4th of July themed food? I have compiled the ultimate list of budget friendly 4th of July food! I have drinks, appetizers, sides, and desserts that are all red, white, and blue! I did add a few recipes that were not red, white, and blue but that is because they are so delicious and perfect for any party.
