Countdown to Thanksgiving ... on a Budget. Part II.

This one will be short.

Make It Yourself

Don't buy a pie. Make a pie.
Don't buy biscuits.  Make biscuits.
Don't buy stuffing mix.  Make stuffing.
Food you make from scratch costs less than food that has been through preparation on your behalf.
Decorate on the Cheap

Go outside.  Grab some yellow and orange leaves still on a stick.  Find several sticks. If you can find a stick from a pine tree with pine needles and a pine cone on it, that's even better. Put in a vase.  Arrange artfully.  Done.

(If you are somewhere like Florida or Southern California, go outside and find something growing that is yellow or orange and put THAT in a vase.)
