Here are some helpful tips to help you enjoy and save money this Thanksgiving holiday:
- Get a free turkey or other free meal items– Many churches and nonprofit organizations received donations of turkey during the holidays. The churches in turn give these items to their church members. Check with your local church to see if they participate in any of these programs.
- Have a potluck– Have each family member or friend bring a dish to dinner. This is less overwhelming on you and helps each person enjoy the holiday without spending a lot of money.
- Bake your own desserts– Calling all the bakers out there. Create your own inexpensive desserts and whip up unique goodies. Most dessert mixes are already prepared and all you have to do is add a simple ingredient such as an egg or even milk.
- Use those turkey leftovers-I found a great website with unique ideas on how to use turkey left over’s. Check it out: www.pillsbury.com/search/searchresults.aspx?loadSavedSearch=Turkey+leftovers
- Don’t forget to clip coupons– Remember to clip coupons to save additional money. A great website to try is Hot Coupon World for coupons for any store you can think of. They can be found at www.hotcouponworld.com.
- Lastly shop with a list- Use a list as a reminder of what to purchase and to help you avoid overspending.
