Throwing one of these this weekend and have a few questions. I live around Bluebonnet in to give you an idea of where I live. Thinking its gonna be anywhere from 15-25 people. My question is how many sacks you think I should get? And where can I get the best bang for my buck? How much should I be expecting to spend on a sack?

3 sacks is it's a bunch of women. 4-5 sacks if it's some heavy hitters.

3-4 sacks tops I would say.

Three would run you 200 +/- 10 right now. Spend a few dollars on corn, potatoes etc.

You can get away with under 250 total for 3 sacks.

Don't know much about crawfish in BR, but if you're willing to drive to get the best crawfish in the state drive to Cazans in Crowley.

I was expecting to spend around $300 so that sounds good. Probably a nice blend of women/heavy hitters.

Fill em up on corn, potatoes and sausage and you can pull off 3 sacks easy.

For mixed company, go 5 lbs per head. Add more to your title or this will get an anchor.

I would go with 3 larger size sacks. Corn and potatoes.
Make some crawfish dip and have saltines on the table.
What are you making for the non crawfish eaters?

Where in the hell did you come up with this number??

4 lbs a person so about 100 lbs. 3 33-35# sacks should be more than enough.
