Are you thinking about Thanksgiving yet? It’s just around the corner. Spend some time today planning your Thanksgiving celebration. If you celebrate it with family, reach out to them with an invitation. Work on your menu. Start picking up ingredients with your regular weekly grocery shopping, so you are not spending a lot of money at once the week of Thanksgiving. Watch for sales on the food items you need. Stores put turkeys on sale this time of year. Get yours early and save money and avoid the shopping rush the week of Thanksgiving.
