1. Proof that Home-Cooked Meals are Still the Best.
Did you know that the average American spends about $225 a month dining out?
Although I love going out to eat as much as the next person, there is still nothing better than a good home cooked meal. I guess that’s also easy for me to say, since I’m usually not the one cooking!
2. You Don’t Have to Buy Gifts to Show Someone You Love Them.
One of the best parts about Thanksgiving is just enjoying time together – eating and hanging out!
On other holidays and birthdays, retailers have gotten us pretty well convinced that we have to spend more money, and buy better gifts each year, to show people we love them.
Luckily – so far – Thanksgiving has been a good exception to the rule…. Although….retailers are trying really hard to get us to go shopping on Thanksgiving night!
