Budgeting for Thanksgiving Dinner

Most of us will be heading out over the next few days to fill our grocery carts with Thanksgiving Dinner ingredients.  Whether your goal is to maintain traditions or you are creating new ones, either way sticking to a budget is important.

First plan your meal and before leaving home make a list of the ingredients you will need to buy.  While you can do one-stop-shopping but this is hardly the best way to take advantage of all the lower prices on offer.  Most groceries stores will be running ads that will serve as a good guideline of where to get the best prices. If you have given yourself a target amount then go a step further and divide this amount by the different stores you will need to go to.

Some stores have club membership that offer discounted pricing while others will offer free turkeys with purchases of a certain amount.  Either way for a effective budget comparison shopping is essential and it need not be tedious so make the most of family assistance and remember to be thankful.
