Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations start soon. How to receive the guests? What delicious dishes to prepare with little money? It is important that you give yourself a little space to start your planning. Set up an email chain to delegate dish assignments, and have fun inventing a "best dish" competition. This way everyone will share the responsibilities (and the fun times in the kitchen!).
Start shopping early
Try to make your Friendsgiving early in the season. The closer your Friendsgiving is to Thanksgiving, the higher food prices will be. By organizing the date in advance and putting it on the calendar, you can anticipate and save when the time comes to buy. For decorations and snacks, go to a wholesale store. You can find everything from decorations to simple snacks.
Look for seasonal products
It goes without saying but buy frozen products vs. Fresh, depending on the season, is important to the budget. For example, frozen green beans are delicious and cheaper in November.
Make a budget and prepare for success
Be realistic and reflect to avoid overspending. For a little flexibility, the start of the holiday season may be a good time to open an interest-free credit card for an extended period.
Alternatives to turkey + creative foods for your Friendsgiving dinner
As the cost of turkey will see a price increase as Thanksgiving gets closer, look for popular alternatives like pork and chicken. Also, buying meat from a wholesale store this season is a great option to save money and still get restaurant-grade selections.
