Thanksgiving is a time for families and friends alike to come together.
Unfortunately, nearly all the ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal are going to cost more this fall. At many family get-togethers this month, inflation will be on the menu. Wholesale prices for turkey alone have increased by over 20% since last year!
The Mayo Clinic Diet can help you prepare affordable, delicious, and nutritious Thanksgiving meals. Here are some tips from our expert team of nutritionists which can help you save money and stay healthy:
Focus on fruits and vegetables
Although Thanksgiving is most famous for the turkey, including fruits and vegetables in your meals can help you cut costs. Purchasing frozen, non-processed ingredients in particular can help you save money when compared to buying organic produce.
Simplify your meals
Not all Thanksgiving dishes have to be complicated. Try preparing a fruit salad with canned or seasonal fruits. Instead of rich casseroles, prepare fresh or frozen beans with olive oil. Avoid high calorie creams and sweets which cost more and are less nutritious. You’ll find that simpler meals are easy to prepare and taste just as great!
Minimize food waste by using leftover ingredients
