Kmart Mums Create The Ultimate Grazing Platters On A Shoestring Budget

An $8 tray from Kmart is changing the way that mums entertain and mums are creating the most spectacular grazing platters on a tight budget.

Grazing platters are the latest trend to take the entertaining world by storm – but creating these Instagram worthy snack boards often comes with a hefty price tag. Thankfully, Kmart mums have discovered the perfect platter that costs under $10 and can be used again and again!

Pretty And Practical

The tray is made from a dark iron sheet, and comes with timber handles on either side which make it a breeze to move, avoiding the chaos that usually unfolds when trying to manoeuvre graving plates – picnic in the park anyone? Not only that, but the tray holds a significant amount of food so you will only need a few of them to entertain all your friends and family.

Some mums have created a savoury feast, filling their trays with cheese, crackers and olives, while others have used the tray for a chocolate selection that would be the star of any kids party!

We think this tray has such potential, and for mums who hate mess, it keeps everything contained so you won’t have a table covered in wooden boards and stray food – plus it makes ‘bringing a plate’ so much easier!

Great idea, i recently bought a grazing board from kmart for Christmas and filled it with lots of yummy things. It is a nice cheap option and the board looked amazing.

Looks so pretty! Will have to get one of these to take for Christmas potlucks, not a bad price at $8 if the tray doesn’t make it’s way back.

I love this. It’s amazing what you can buy from Kmart and what you can turn into – something that looks expensive.

I love this idea. It’s so difficult to get everything you want on to a plate that you end up needing to use 2 or 3. With this serving tray you could get away with taking just the one. Brilliant

adding things with height to a grazing platter always looks nice and ensuring there are a variety of sweet and savoury, textures and of course colour.

The tray is nice and can be used for so many different things. If only they came with all those sweets included in the price

I’ve got this tray for making small play worlds for my kids. I just use my other hundred serving trays to do the same thing.

The grazing platters look good, but I just use my serving platters to do the same thing. Thanks for sharing though.
