Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and be grateful for everything and everyone you have. If you have recently completed a move, you may find yourself a little tapped out on money, or simply not wanting to spend a fortune on the holidays. In order to keep your bank account happy, Fort Myers movers have created a list of simple ways to save money this Thanksgiving!

1. Potluck Thanksgiving Dinner – If you have recently moved, why not use Thanksgiving as your housewarming party? If your family, friends, and new neighbors are down, invite them to your home for a potluck dinner. Each family or person can bring one favorite dish of choice and you can all save money on your Thanksgiving meal!

2. Less Décor is More – Fort Myers movers do not recommend that you spend a fortune trying to decorate your home for fall. After all, you decorate for Halloween, and then you only decorate for Thanksgiving for one month before it is time to decorate for Christmas. Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to use homemade decorations that can cost you as little as nothing, since most of it can be made from items you already have. Go outside, pick some natural foliage, and make fall décor from leaves, branches, and fall flowers right in your yard. If you want colored napkins and dining room décor, purchase paper napkins instead. You can also use the pumpkins you picked for Halloween for your Thanksgiving centerpiece.

3. Shop Wisely – After moving to Fort Myers, you may want to do a major shopping spree at the grocery store in order to stock up your regular food items. However, you will not be able to do this if you spend an enormous amount of money on Thanksgiving ingredients. Fort Myers movers suggest going through the local coupons and finding the best deals for your Thanksgiving dinner grocery shop. Utilize bargains like buy-one-get-one and discounted items. If you wait until the last minute, you may end up paying a holiday premium for certain items.
