Hosting a Thanksgiving meal can be extremely stressful – and expensive. I know this. I do it every year.

This year I challenged myself to really save money but get all of the items that we needed.I didn't want to compromise on quality of ingredients and I wanted to enhance my traditional family recipes.
I scoured the sales flyers and made my list. I needed two turkeys and enough food to feed 20 people. Although six of the 20 are kids, I still wanted to keep my costs low.
I matched coupons with several of the sale items and planned my vegetables around what was on sale. Thankfully, most of the things that I needed to purchase were on sale due to the upcoming holiday.
Meal List:
Two Turkeys
Stuffing
Gravy
Mashed Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Pumpkin Pie
Chocolate Cream Pie
Fresh, Whipped Cream
Yeast Dinner Rolls
So are you wondering what I spent? I purchased all of the items above plus a few extra things that I needed. I was able to get my entire list, food for 20 people for less than $60. I used several coupons and saved over $28 with coupons. I am so proud of myself!!!
Walmart can help you can plan ahead and save money. You just need to do your homework by making a list and sticking to it plus matching coupons to sales. Doing this simple things will save you a lot of money and allow you to cook the perfect Thanksgiving meal.
