Get the snacks ready, the jerseys out, and get set for the Patriots and Seahawks to battle it out in Super Bowl LX. But before you kick off your party, take a look at your TV. If it’s covered in fingerprints and smudges, you might miss the game-winning play or Bad Bunny's halftime performance.

Here is your Pre-Game Worthy cleaning and shopping strategy:

🧽 The "Family Handyman" Screen Protocol

Don't ruin your expensive LED screen with the wrong tools. Following these steps will ensure a crystal-clear view without the damage:

Avoid the "Never" List: Never use Windex, soaps, or paper towels. These contain harsh chemicals and abrasive fibers that can permanently scratch or strip your screen's coating.

The Solution: Mix a one-to-one solution of distilled water and white vinegar in a spray bottle.

The Execution: Always spray the mixture onto a microfiber cloth—never directly onto the screen. Wipe from top to bottom, then use a dry microfiber to buff out any remaining streaks.

🛒 The Kroger Game-Day Strategy

Once your screen is ready, it's time to tackle the menu. John Votava from Kroger shared his top tips for a successful Sunday spread:

Stock the Staples: Kroger is fully loaded with the "Big Three"—Chips, Dips, and Sips.

Digital Savings: Use the Kroger App to find "Texas-sized" price decreases and digital coupons to lower your total at checkout.

Plan for Monday: Don't forget the "post-game recovery." Pick up antacids, pain relievers, and hydration solutions like Pedialyte or IV-replenishment drinks so you're ready for work on Monday morning.
