Thanksgiving on a Budget......

With just a week until Thanksgiving, it is time to start planning your meal - if you have not already. A few ways we cut back.....

Look at the coupons now and combine them with store deals.

Make things from scratch. Home made rolls cost less than store bought.

Ask guests to bring a part of the meal. We always suggests desserts to our guests.

Serve things you preserved from your summer garden. We always have pickled red beats and corn that we grew over the summer.

Make the most of leftovers!!
