Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year. It's the time of year when we give thanks for all the blessings that have been bestowed upon us throughout the year.

Here are 5 ways to save some cash this Thanksgiving.

  1. BYOD - Have people bring their own dish this year. Or if you're going to someone's house, you can bring a dish. It's a great way to share and save money for all.
  2. Volunteer - This is a hallmark here in Cheyenne. There are many places to volunteer. One way is to help feed the poor or veterans at a food kitchen here in Cheyenne.
  3. KISS - Keep It Simple Silly - The traditional Thanksgiving meal always has way more than any one person can handle. Keep the menu simple, but nutritious and it will be just fine.
  4. Start Buying NOW - Don't wait until the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, when stores may be out of what you want.
  5. Decorations - Go with natural leaves outside or some small pumpkins for decorations. You don't have to spend lots of money for expensive decor at a local box store.
