Plan and save on your Thanksgiving meal

Saving money on the holiday dinner can be done with planning.  While economists say some prices for the traditional meal are higher and some are lower than last year, like turkeys, you’re going to save the most when you take extra steps to do so.  Nutritionist Tammy Roberts with the University of Missouri Extension says to stick with the traditional basics of the Thanksgiving meal and you’ll save money:  Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. Her advice, don’t overbuy because “the most expensive food you buy is what you throw away.”
