WINNER: Chris M (blueleash@)In less than two weeks we’ll be carving up some turkey and celebrating Thanksgiving. If you are starting to panic…don’t worry, I have some ideas to help you avoid that last minute chaos.
I have found that planning ahead is the key to keeping the holidays as stress-free as possible. Make a big list of everything that you have to do and break it down. Make it a point to do a few things every day from here on out rather than waiting until the last minute.
It’s not too early to make sure the linens are washed. If you are using special dinnerware or silver, make sure it’s clean and ready to go. You can even start cleaning now so that you only have to do a touch up here or there before your guests arrive.
Also, go ahead and start gathering your nonperishable items that you’ll need for your dinner. Canned goods, broths and baking essentials can be purchased ahead of time. Any paper products that you might need can also be purchased now. You know you’ll need lots of Ziploc® Brand Bags and Containers for all those leftovers. By starting now you’ll be able to spread out the purchases over multiple weeks which might be easier on your budget!
Of course getting great deals at Publix is another way to help out the budget too. Look for some super deals on everything you need to get your home ready for the holidays. Plus you can earn a gift card to boot!
