Thrifty Thursday: 8 Coupons to Make Thanksgiving Cheaper
Penny-pinching families have an extra reason to be thankful this Thanksgiving, even before taking advantage of coupon deals. The American Farm Bureau's annual price survey discovered the cost of Thanksgiving favorites, such as turkey, stuffing, cranberries and rolls, has dropped 4% this year.

Turkey is 3 cents less a pound. Milk is the winner for shoppers because it's 92 cents cheaper per gallon than this time last year. Add the typical family's Thanksgiving grocery bill and this year's meal will be about $1.70 less before coupons.
The price decrease won't fatten your wallet but there are other ways to save on top of the already lower prices. Besides clipping coupons out of the newspaper, you can find online coupons and search the store papers for special Thanksgiving bargains to save your family big money.
Here's a manufacturer's coupon roundup to make your Thanksgiving dinner cost even less:

We bought pies at a great price from our kid’s school. So not only did we save money but we helped a good cause!
I love your blog! I found out about a site that I think your readers would really appreciate. It is http://www.theultimatecouponwebsite.com. It is not a site that has coupons/codes on it itself but it has a search engine that searches hundreds of coupon/deal sites. My friend who told me about it has saved hundreds from the discounts she found. It might be worth taking a look.
