You don’t have to spend an arm and a turkey leg to host a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner. Don’t be daunted by scary headlines; the MSM is in the business of keeping viewers watching and readers reading, so take their stories with a grain of salt.
Remember, our grandmothers knew how to throw a meaningful holiday, even during the Great Depression. How? By starting early, making what they could from scratch, and sale shopping, of course. One instant budget-helper is to choose a frozen turkey instead of a fresh one; a roasted chicken would be an even less expensive, yet very tasty alternative without straying from the “bird” theme.
