Thanksgiving Dinner on a Budget



Thanksgiving is next week! Are you ready? Have you planned out your scrumptious dinner yet? If not, here are some ideas to get the creative cooking juices flowing. I'm probably anticipating the good food way more than I should be!

That being said, we are still on a tight budget for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Consequently, I went looking for some videos and ideas on how to make good food that won't break the bank. I LOVE ham and we happen to have one in the freezer that was given to us, so that is on the list.


AMAZON.COM KITCHEN DEALS - 70-90% OFF!

However, I also don't want to spend days in the kitchen prepping, cooking, and serving food. So, I went browsing on Amazon for some ideas of how to whip dinner together a little faster this year. These are some deals I found and ALL PRODUCTS ARE OVER 70% OFF! I already have the whisks and absolutely love them so had to share. I'm seriously tempted to ask my husband to buy me the Sterline Spiral Vegetable Slicer for my upcoming birthday.

Dave Ramsey Quote of the Day

Since our Facebook group, Dave Ramsey - Budget Meal Ideas, was inspired by the obvious, I thought we'd all enjoy a quote for the day! Buck the norm, how are you saving money at home today?  For us, it's eating leftovers for dinner tonight.

Dave Ramsey and Rachel Cruze on the Food Budget

Dave Ramsey I am a die-hard Dave Ramsey fan.  I totally believe in his financial program. My family also enjoys listening to the Dave Ramsey radio show. If you haven't listened to it, you need to stop by for a visit. The guy is freaking hilarious! If you haven't read his books, DO IT! The first one you need to start with is  The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness .  If you have read that one but are wanting to try some of his other fabulous books, here you go.  I have personally read them all and love each book.
