Free Thanksgiving Dinner!

Happy Veterans Day!

As we share gratitude to our veterans and Thanksgiving approaches, it’s a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our values and how we want to celebrate the holidays.

We often think of grand feasts and elaborate gatherings (anyone else have special Thanksgiving dinner pants?), but it’s important to plan in a way that aligns with our principles and spending goals. 

We can get creative by doing things like plan a simple menu, share costs with family and friends, and focus on sharing free experiences instead of things (including unnecessary sides and desserts for example).

But we can also look for ways to score deals and even freebies on some Thanksgiving dinner items!

Read on for our list of Thanksgiving freebies!

🍗 You’ll need to act fast on this one, but BJ’s members who spend $150 in a single transaction before November 14 are eligible to redeem a digital coupon for a FREE turkey between November 16 – November 27!

🛒 Walmart is offering an “inflation free” holiday meal this year. You can order a basket of 29 items that serves eight people for less than $7 per person.

📲 Ibotta, the cashback app, is back with their 5th annual Thanksgiving special. New users and SNAP participants can get 100% cashback on turkey and fixins. Other users can unlock special bonuses throughout the month. Be sure to check your app for details!**

💝 Feeding America is a wonderful resource for families who might be struggling affording food through the holidays. You can enter your zipcode to find food banks in your area. And, for those looking to give back this year, they list great ideas for volunteering or donating in your community!

🎬 Behind the Scenes Bill 🎬

Two of the biggest shopping temptation days of the year are just around the corner—Black Friday & Cyber Monday.

We’re planning ahead with boundaries in place to resist impulse purchases and only buy the things we really value and need this year.

But let’s be real, we’re probably gonna end up with something in the shopping carts! So why not get a little more bang for your buck?

Rakuten works for you behind the scenes; shop online and get cash back!

And, get a $30 bonus when you spend your first $30! 😉 **
