HOSTING THANKSGIVING:

Tips for a Warm & Wallet-Friendly Feast

Thanksgiving is a cherished time but hosting can get expensive. With a bit of creativity and planning, you can serve up a fantastic holiday meal without breaking the bank. Here are some tips: 


1. Plan and Shop Early


  • Use Loyalty and Rewards Programs: Many grocery stores offer reward programs that can lead to savings on food. 

 

2. Get Creative with the Menu


  • Skip the Pre-Made Items: Making dishes from scratch often costs less than buying pre-made, processed options. Homemade stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pie fillings are more affordable and tastier than their store-bought counterparts.


3. Host a Potluck


  • Ask Guests to Bring a Dish: Potluck-style gatherings are not only budget-friendly but also add variety to the table. If each guest brings one item, you’ll save both time and money. Plus, this allows everyone to contribute something meaningful to the meal.


By shopping smart, getting creative, and involving your guests, you can host a memorable Thanksgiving without stretching your budget. Remember, it’s the togetherness that makes Thanksgiving special!

This Halloween, we put a fun twist on the costume tradition by dressing up as each other! Each staff member embraced their colleagues' unique style and quirks and even brought props. It was a day full of laughs, as we celebrated the personalities that make our team special.
