In past years, Thanksgiving AND Yuletide dinners for my family of five, plus dual or three guests, has price as most as an complete week’s groceries any alternative time of the year.My family’s menu for these dual holidays is set in the stone of tradition. Variation is means for uproar. So, any year we have the same meal twice: Turkey, stuffing, crushed potatoes, yam casserole, corn, Brussels sprouts, rolls as good as homemade cranberry sauce, with pumpkin cake for dessert.This year we programmed ahead. With the tiny strategy, any cooking for 8 with all the trimmings comes to $26.
HERE ARE MY MONEY SAVING STRATEGIES:
- I found grocery stores which suggest the giveaway turkey with squeeze as good as programmed the couple of shopping trips around these deals. In my area, some-more than the single store offers the giveaway turkey with the $50 squeeze for during slightest dual weeks in Nov as good as dual weeks in December. we have the tiny stockpile of turkeys in my freezer. Turkeys will final during slightest the year frozen. COST PER MEAL: Free
- At the end of summer, when uninformed corn was during its peak, we headed to the farmer’s market as good as purchased 40 ears when they were 8 for the dollar. we cut the kernels off any ear as good as froze them in dual next to batches to use for my legal legal legal holiday meals. COST PER MEAL: $2.50
- When the internal grocery store had the box lot sale final spring, we stocked up upon canned pumpkin, solidified cake crusts, as good as enough chicken gas to have brine for dual turkeys. COST PER MEAL: $5.00
- This summer we found bags of uninformed cranberries upon sale as good as picked up dual for homemade cranberry sauce. They freeze well. COST PER MEAL: $1.00
- I’ll have my own rolls from mixture we have already stockpiled during good prices, including flour, sugar, salt as good as yeast. COST PER MEAL: $1.00
- I’ve also purchased brownish-red sugarine as good as cans of yams during deeply discounted prices over the march of the year. These go into yam casserole. My mouth is already watering! COST PER MEAL: $1.50
- Grocery stores have regular sales upon normal legal legal legal holiday meal mixture in Nov as good as December. I’ll pick up uninformed potatoes, onions, lemons, celery, apples, as good as Brussels sprouts when they are upon sale closer to the holiday. COST PER MEAL: $10.00
- I have the stockpile in my pantry or freezer of butter, bacon for the Brussels sprouts, solidified orange juice for the cranberry salsa as good as yams, as good as tea bags for uninformed iced tea to drink. These were all purchased during rock-bottom prices. COST PER MEAL: $5.00
That brings us to $26.00 for any of my family’s Thanksgiving as good as Yuletide dinners. The difference between scheming all year for this meal as good as shopping all the week of the legal legal legal holiday is as most as $75. The best partial is which we’ll save the money but compromising any of the recipes which have turn partial of our family tradition. At the price of just $5 for 8 servings instead of $20, we’ll still even get my mom’s important Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts.
