Thanksgiving Feast Deals and DIY Fun



Turkey day is right around the corner, or the more formal name, Thanksgiving Day! I’m excited to have a short break from work while enjoying the 3 F’s: Food, Football and Family/Friends.  This Thanksgiving I will be heading out to spend the day with my boyfriend’s family in Brighton.  I’m in charge of bringing an appetizer, and I need to impress the family.  Pinterest has given me a lot of great ideas for cute appetizers that look like Turkeys.  There is an assortment of fruit and veggie trays with a Thanksgiving twist!  There is also a Pin for a number of Thanksgiving DIY decorations, although I am not holding Thanksgiving this year this will be a great money saver and creativity booster for the first time I hold Thanksgiving.  


Depending how many people you are cooking for the Thanksgiving meal can get expensive.  Before heading out shopping for the big day make sure to clip as many coupons as possible.  Couponing can save a lot of money in the long run.  I’m currently part of the MPerks club at Meijer which gives me the ability to clip coupons for their store right from my iPhone.  I can also create my grocery list and check out their weekly ad on the go.  Check out this deal on dinner rolls that can be used for Thanksgiving.  Although the rolls are probably my least favorite part of the meal, Hawaiian rolls are by far the best.  They can make great little hot Turkey sandwiches the next day.  If you have never tried Hawaiian rolls I highly recommend them. 


Another great app for your Smartphone is called Grocery Pal, I just recently discovered this app and I love it!  It’s very similar to the MPerks app, but it searches all grocery/drug stores in your area, simply enter in your zip code and watch the coupons come alive!  Feeling lazy this Thanksgiving, take advantage of this excellent deal; everything comes included for $69.99 from Kroger!


Whether you’re having a small gathering this Thanksgiving, having a large family get together or are hosting Thanksgiving for the first time ever I hope these tips and sites/apps can help you to save some money this Holiday season.  Happy Thanksgiving to all!
