Een Bountiful Thanksgiving diner op een budget!

Door: Debbie Allen

When the holiday season rolls around many of us immediately start thinking about how it is going to affect our budget. It is not that we do not enjoy the holidays but unfortunately we have to be realistic and work with limited funds. We all want to have a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner, but doing that on a budget can be trying.

There are ways to save on your expenses though. If you are having guests consider allowing each of them to bring their specialty food item. Almost everyone has at least one dish that they feel confident in preparing. If each guest will bring a dish then your work will be much less and the expenses of the meal will be minimal.

If you go that route be sure to coordinate the dishes. The point is that you do not want to end up with a dozen desserts and no side dishes.

Another way to go about the distribution of food items is to give assignments or to use the old-fashioned method of drawing the assignment from a cup. This will ensure that you end up with all the food items that you want at your Thanksgiving dinner.

Typically every home in America will have leftovers to deal with after the meal. This can be wonderful but it can also mean that you spent more than necessary for you holiday meal. Planning ahead can prevent such an issue. Cook only what will be needed for the holiday meal.

Many restaurants offer special Thanksgiving dinners. This can actually save money because you will only pay for what you eat and you will not have to deal with the preparation or the clean-up.

Another thought is buying the dinner in a box from a grocery store. Many of the major chains offer the turkey dinner for a reasonable price. Then you simply add a few special touches of your own and your meal is complete. Easy preparation and low cost.

Buying food ahead of time can ease the cost of the huge meal. Some people buy their frozen turkey early and begin storing non-perishables early in the year. This prevents the sudden cost of all foods from impacting your budget at one time.

Keep the reason for the holiday in mind. Giving thanks for all you have is what is important. Opting to have a meal that is not quite traditional in order to save money is perfectly acceptable. The holiday is about you and your thankfulness. Creating unique family traditions add to the fun and memories. Do not be afraid to be original!
