The process of moving tends to leave you a little tight on money or simply just not wanting to spend any more money at the moment. If you have recently moved to the Springfield or Deerfield area and are looking to save, the Pioneer Valley movers at Sitterly Movers have the top 5 ways to save money this Thanksgiving holiday.
1. Potluck
Instead of hosting a housewarming party, you could host a Thanksgiving potluck for friends, family, and your new neighbors. This way, all of you will be able to save a ton of money this Thanksgiving.
2. Shop Smartly
Don’t be one of those people who waits until the day before Thanksgiving to scramble to find a meager leftover turkey. Turkey prices also tend to go up the closer the holiday gets. Plan your Thanksgiving grocery shopping and map out your grocery list well before the week before the holiday. If moving has left you with no time to shop, consider picking up a pre-cooked turkey or ham that you throw in the oven to warm up.
3. Little Décor
Springfield movers suggest that you do not try to spend too much time decorating your new home for Thanksgiving. You will only have to take it all down in less than a month when Christmas rolls around.
4. Ditch the Disposables
Sure, if you just moved to the Pioneer Valley and have not yet unpacked your dishes, you may not have anything to serve people on and want to dish out some cash on paper plates, napkins, and utensils. Keep in mind that those three items combined can cost you on average $15-$25, depending on the style or print you get. Instead, find your box of china and take it out, wash it, and serve people on what you already have. There is no cost, and it is a much better impression. After all, the holidays are for your nicest dinner set.
5. Be Thankful
The best thing you can do this Thanksgiving is to be grateful for everything that you have. It may sound cliche, but there is truth behind it. Take time to think about how lucky you are to have such nice things in life like food, shelter, clothes, and so forth. Being thankful will make you feel happier, which will help you save even more money.
