Prepping For Thanksgiving on a Budget


Do an inventory on your pantry!
Have you ever gone to the store, bought everything you know you need for this special holiday recipe, came home, checked your pantry for something and realized you already had many of the ingredients needed? Don't you just hate it when this happens? Prepping holiday dishes for everyone for Thanksgiving can be really stressful at times and you can feel like you never have enough money or time to get everything done. However, this simple change, just checking your pantry before you start may end up saving you a ton of money and time and help way more than you expect.

Be strategic with your turkey.
Think about how many people are coming to your Thanksgiving. Do you really need a whole turkey? You can buy parts of the turkey, versus the whole turkey. For example, just buy the breast and serve that to your guests.

Make Thanksgiving BYOB.
BYOB or Bring Your Own Booze can be a very effective method of prepping for Thanksgiving on a budget. Have your guests bring their own wine, beer, or drinks of choice. Buying alcoholic beverages for everyone can be very costly, so try this way to save some money.

Host a Thanksgiving potluck.
You can also have each guest bring a side and you can offer to handle the meat, by the time the last guests get there with their delicious side, you could have a full meal for a lot less money.
