Happy Thanksgiving! Here are a few ways that I save on the Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving is my holiday that I prepare for 14 people. With a little help, I do not have to make everything m self. My mother-in-law makes all the pies and my sister-in-law brings the cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes. As a family we each pick a holiday and mine is Thanksgiving to prepare. As you already know I look for deals to save money and Thanksgiving is no exception. So today I will share with you Thanksgiving savings tips.
1. The first and most important things to save on are the turkey and ham. I wait to the last week before buying my ham and turkey because this is where you will get your best prices. I went into the store for my last minute items and spent my $25.00 dollars to receive my turkey for 57 cents a pound for a 22-pound turkey. My ham I paid 79 cents a pound. To make my day easier, I make my turkey and ham the day before in my Nesco roasters than just rewarm on Thanksgiving Day.

2. The second thing I make is that famous green bean casserole. This week I had several coupons for those Frenches Onions so this saved me about 50 cents a container. Since I grow all my own vegetables and can them my green beans were free.
3. The third food item I save on are those brown and serve rolls. Don’t buy those name brand ones for over $2.00 a package when you can get a generic brand for under 80 cents for 12. I like Aldis and Save A Lot for these deals.
4. Now for the table cloth and napkins. Every year after the Thanksgiving Holiday I watch for the clearance sales to buy next year’s table cloth and napkins. My table cloth cost me $1.00 and my napkins I picked up for 50 cents a package.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday to get together with family and friends. Serving 14 people doesn’t have to break the bank when you shop right and look for those bargains and use those coupons. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving from Suzie Homemaker.
