Frugal Thanksgiving Tips

I have been looking at ways to cut back on costs for Thanksgiving, and came across some articles to share. One important thing to keep in mind is if you're having a lot of people over, ask everyone to bring something to share the costs, and remember how expensive booze is. Sure, it might be necessary, but that's what usually adds up.

Would love to hear any other ideas people have.

One of those articles mentioned using frozen veggies/fruits because they're cheaper and I read somewhere recently that these can actually have more nutrition than fresh produce because they usually get frozen right after they're picked which is when they have the most nutrients and as things stay out they lose some of their value. Not sure if that is 100% true, but if frozen fruits and veggies do actually have more nutritional value, then all the better as far as I'm concerned cause they're cheaper and whatever you don't use you can just re-freeze.
