Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and of course, delicious food. But it can also be a time for overspending. If you’re looking to save money this Thanksgiving, there are a few things you can do.
1 Trim Your Turkey
The turkey is often the most expensive part of the Thanksgiving meal. If you’re having a smaller group or you’re not keen on dark meat, try getting a turkey breast or just the turkey legs. You can also opt for a different protein altogether, like chicken or a vegetarian option.
2. Make It a Potluck
Gathering family and friends together is always fun, but feeding extra mouths can also be more of a drain on your wallet. Instead of taking on the weight of the whole meal, tell everyone you’ll provide the turkey and they can bring their favorite side This will mean less for you to cook and you’ll get to taste different recipes!
3. Leftovers Are Your Friend
Leftovers are a Thanksgiving tradition for a reason. They’re a great way to stretch your meal into a week of delicious food. Whether you make a classic Thanksgiving sandwich or turn your leftovers into a soup or casserole, you can enjoy your Thanksgiving feast for days to come.
4. Get Creative with Decor
Handwritten place cards, garden trimmings from your yard, and kid-made turkeys – there’s charm in a homemade holiday. Get creative with your centerpieces and place settings. You can also find great deals on decorations at thrift stores.
