Frankly it doesn't matter, if it was under $1 per person, there's no way that it was quality "party food" in any quantity.
When I go to a party I don't expect to be fed $.12 hot dogs and $.05 of macaroni salad with $.03 in potato chips and $.02 of Kool-Aid. I expect to be fed real food in real quantities, and there's no way that happened unless she fed them beans and rice or chili or baked ziti (no meat) or cheap hotdogs or something along those lines, and in restricted amounts--which IMHO is not what you feed party guests. The cake alone for 150 people--even made with BOGO mixes or from scratch--would have run $25 to make and frost. That's almost 20% of her budget!

I actually agree.
I don't expect gourmet food, but I do hope for food that's of decent quality.
I guess I could always go to a party and not eat (I've certainly done that before). Or - make it not a meal and just serve chips, dip and cake - saves money and you can have higher quality food.
