With current inflation and recession worries, savings is top of mind. And while turkeys tend to be land-bound, their price has flown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/turkeys-prices-record-high-thanksgiving-christmas-2022-10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sky high<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why we\u2019re highlighting 9 simple but essential ways to stay budget-friendly during your Thanksgiving dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Simplify<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course it\u2019s fun to go nuts with desserts, sides, and three kinds of gravy, but see if you can simplify things and only target the quintessential favorites that everyone will absolutely love and consume. Did only a third of the cranberry sauce get eaten last year? Take that as a hint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Plan Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting your Thanksgiving dinner plans a few weeks in advance will help you figure out exactly how many people you\u2019ll be serving and what supplies and food you\u2019ll need. This will help you avoid costly last minute orders from Amazon or trips to high-priced grocery stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Check Your Pantry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you hit the store, make sure you don\u2019t have any hidden treasures in your pantry or freezer! Discovering something on your list that you already have will slice the price before you even step out the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Shop Early<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you\u2019ll have already followed tip #2 (plan ahead!), you\u2019ll be ahead of the game when it comes to your shopping expedition. Thanksgiving staples tend to be less pricey (and less picked over) at least 3 weeks before the big day, so shopping early can go a long way towards savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Shop Smart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these tips at the grocery store to get the most bang for your buck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Buy What\u2019s in Season<\/strong>\u00a0 &#8211; Focus your purchases around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/collection\/whats_in_season_in_november\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">these timely produce items<\/a>, and you\u2019ll be in good, thrifty shape.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Consider Frozen, Canned, and Dried Options <\/strong>&#8211; Oftentimes, these longer-lasting items are much more cost-effective than fresh. Make sure you check a few aisles and compare costs (making sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/how-to-save-money-on-food-at-the-grocery-st\/#Compare-Unit-Prices\">consider unit price<\/a>).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Buy Generic<\/strong> &#8211; Opting for generic over name-brand products can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/home\/kitchen-and-household\/how-much-cheaper-are-store-brand-groceries-than-name-brands-we-do-the-math\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">save you as much as 40%<\/a> on groceries.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Buy Only As Much Bird as You Need<\/strong> &#8211; Generally, most people only eat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonappetit.com\/story\/how-much-turkey-per-person#:~:text=The%20general%20rule%20of%20thumb,1%C2%BD%20pounds%20turkey%20per%20person.&amp;text=That's%20why%2C%20for%20smaller%20gatherings,good%20range%2C%E2%80%9D%20Jessie%20says.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 to 1.5 lbs of turkey<\/a>. If you\u2019re a fan of leftovers, target 2 lbs! Do the math, and don\u2019t get dazzled by a 25-pound monster bird if you don\u2019t need it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is just the tip of the cost-cutting iceberg! Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/how-to-save-money-on-food-at-the-grocery-st\/\">more ways to save at the grocery store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Make It a Potluck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Who says you have to do all the work yourself? If you plan on inviting friends and family, have everyone pull some weight. Uncle Gary can make his famous pies, neighbors Fred and Rhonda have a lock on the mashed potatoes, and best friend Zariah\u2019s handling the stuffing. Things just got a whole lot easier \u2026 and more affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Use Handmade and Found Decor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Get creative with decorations! Gather some pinecones and colorful leaves, put the kids to work making hand-traced turkeys, and create a \u201cWhat We\u2019re Thankful For\u201d wall from post-its. Festive and frugal are not mutually exclusive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Eat All the Leftovers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you\u2019re not throwing away money by wasting leftovers. If you get sick of turkey and stuffing sandwiches, look into ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/recipes.howstuffworks.com\/menus\/10-ways-to-reuse-your-thanksgiving-leftovers.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">transform your leftovers<\/a> into a variety of new meals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Just Go to Someone Else\u2019s House!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you been invited to a friend or family member\u2019s house for Thanksgiving dinner? Well, what are you waiting for? Take them up on it! Perhaps you bring a homemade pie or even a bottle of wine, but that sets you back a heck of a lot less than preparing a whole meal \u2014 and involves a lot less stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re planning how to host or spend your Thanksgiving dinner this year, remember that you don\u2019t need to get caught up with extravagant smorgasbords or 12-foot inflatable turkey displays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind what this holiday is really about: spending time with loved ones and appreciating what we have. And what better way to appreciate our bounty than by being thoughtful about how we spend it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/768x432_TopDollarBlogHeader_ThanksgivingImg1.jpg\" alt=\"Family laughing and having thanksgiving dinner\" class=\"wp-image-4829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/768x432_TopDollarBlogHeader_ThanksgivingImg1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/768x432_TopDollarBlogHeader_ThanksgivingImg1-300x117.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some years the budget\u2019s a bit tighter and we have to be a little more conscious of cost when it comes to Turkey Day.
