Ultimate guide to a terrific Thanksgiving with popular app Temu
So, you’ve just agreed to host this year’s Thanksgiving. It seemed like a good idea at the moment, but now you’re dreading the cost of the big day. Don’t worry! You can throw a great Thanksgiving for very little money. All you need is a little creativity and a good online marketplace like Temu. Here are 5 tips for a terrific Thanksgiving on a budget:
1. Choose a budget
Before you get started with the holiday planning, you’ll want to sit down and create a budget for yourself. How much can you afford to spend on food, decorations, and supplies? How many people do you need to feed? Where do you want to prioritize spending, and where can you afford to make cuts if necessary? It helps to keep your budget flexible to account for unforeseen expenses. With a solid plan and a well-defined budget, you’ll be able to keep your spending under control.
2. Get creative with the decorations
It can be tempting to blow your budget on decorations, but you don’t have to. Enlist the kids to make some DIY hand turkeys and glittery fall leaves. If you want affordable decorations that will last, you can find some festive choices on Temu. These Thanksgiving Harvest Pumpkin Gnomes will be a perfect centerpiece, while a Happy Fall Pillow Case will help you transform a regular throw pillow in seconds.
3. Save on supplies
You don’t need a $300 cast iron skillet and wool oven mitts to make Thanksgiving special. If you’re looking to stock up on kitchen essentials before your cooking marathon, then focus on finding affordable versions of what you need. You’ll also be tossing plenty of odds and ends while you cook, so it’s a good idea to have a Hangable Kitchen Trash Can Holder nearby to pick up scraps.
4. Say yes to helping hands
Never turn down an offer of help. If your guests offer to bring anything, take them up on it! Enlist them to bring wine, sofa water, cranberry, or anything else that’s easy to prepare. Delegate cooking tasks to your closest friends and family, and don’t be too proud to accept help with the cleanup. Remember, it’s your Thanksgiving too! You deserve to enjoy it just as much as the rest of your crowd.
5. Plan for leftovers
If you plan things right, you can turn one Thanksgiving meal into a week of leftovers. Have a few Refrigerator Storage Boxes at the ready to pack up leftover chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. If you want to send your guests home with some leftovers, these Kitchen Storage Boxes have separate compartments for storing two different ingredients. You can send your guests home in style for only a couple of bucks!
Thanksgiving is all about the people you’re with, not how much money you spend. Follow these tips to celebrate the holiday in style.
