Are you hosting your family Thanksgiving dinner this year? Even though the year is a strange one, many of us are looking to bring normalcy to the holidays. That’s why I am ready to start prepping for Thanksgiving already!
I’m making it a habit of writing stuff down this year so that I am fully prepared to make the holidays as easy and as low stress as possible.
If you are planning on having guests over for Thanksgiving, write down the list of who all you have invited and who has RSVP’d.
Now that you have your list of guests, be sure to take note of any dietary needs. You may know the answers to this already, but it’s worth double checking so that everyone can have a happy holiday!
Spend a little bit of time planning out your menu for your Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe you always have the exact same foods on Thanksgiving, but maybe you want to mix it up a bit this year.
Be sure to include everything. What type of pies will you be having? What type of vegetable side dishes? Any other desserts?
Now that you have your menu planned out, grab a notebook and write out your shopping list with EVERY SINGLE THING needed for your Thanksgiving menu. Next, “shop” your fridge/freezer/pantry to find what you already have and cross those things off of your list.
The next step is to make sure you take your list with you to the grocery store! (I have been known to forget my list a time or two).
You can save yourself time for the holiday if you prepare some of your food in advance. Many people actually prepare their turkey the day before. Preparing other foods in advance is good too. Stuff like homemade pie filling and crusts, or even cutting up the potatoes in advance is a great way to help you save time and frustration.
If someone wants to bring a side dish, say yes! Why not allow yourself a break? Every dish that someone else brings is something that you don’t have to spend time doing yourself.

So, once you are ready to jump into Thanksgiving prep, here are 5 tips for saving on Thanksgiving Dinner:
How do you keep from breaking the bank during the holidays? I would love to hear any other ideas and points of view!
The holidays are expensive. Â So very expensive, but they donât have to be. Â You may think I am kidding, but Iâm not. Â There are some really simple and really easy ways to save money during the holiday season that you can start implementing now, to make this your most budget-friendly holiday season yet.
So, letâs start with Thanksgiving. Â Here are 5 tricks to saving money on Thanksgiving dinner that you can start to work on now.
The holidays are almost here better start stressing now. Right? I mean who doesn’t spend the holidays stressed right? Between being surrounded by family (not always what you want) and having your budget stretched to its max, there are a lot of things to be stressed about. The fact of the matter is, it is just too easy to become overwhelmed with the holidays. If you are the one that is hosting the holiday gathering, that stress grows even more.
Our goal is to help you lower that stress by keeping your budget more on track.
Plan a Potluck
A potluck dinner is the way to go when you are talking about planning a big meal. Simply ask your guests to bring their favorite side dish and that will lower your workload tremendously. Most people are going to love this anyway since they want to contribute. For those that aren’t big cooks, it’s easy (and inexpensive) to pick up a bag of chips or a bottle of wine or soda.
Don’t stress the decor
Seriously. People aren’t stressed about how your home is decorated for Thanksgiving. They want to visit you, not see your linen tablecloths or wreaths. Make sure you house is clean enough for company and that’s about the extent of what is needed. If you insist on decorating, just hit up the dollar store for inexpensive decorative pieces.
Shop Smart
Make sure to shop smart when you head out to buy food and supplies for your holiday meal. Use coupons, load deals on your shopping apps, submit rebates when you can and make sure you take advantage of the grocery stores that offer free turkeys or hams with a purchase over $50 or $100 (or whatever the amount may be). Don’t abandon your typically savings tricks just because it’s a holiday. If anything, step up your game. Shop early, shop around, research and plan!
What kind of budget do you set for your Thanksgiving gatherings? Are you able to easily stick to that budget? If yes, how do you do it? Do you have any great tips or tricks that have helped you to save big on holiday meals and gatherings?
