With the holidays just around the corner the cost to create a family Thanksgiving can add up quickly. Whether traveling, hosting relatives or putting together the perfect meal, every penny counts this November. CouponShack.com is helping consumers save money a variety of cost cutting ideas.

The Thanksgiving Savings Center is an easy way to find all the deals needed in one place. Check out discounts on hotels and rental cars, or look into savings at the grocery store with printable coupons. Even those looking to burn those accumulated calories from the turkey and pie can save money on fitness. There is something for


Here are CouponShack.com’s top 10 tips for saving money this Thanksgiving:

1. Check to see if your local grocery stores offers loyalty points that can redeemed for a turkey.

2. Price compare the dollar stores first before grocery shopping.

3. Cook with crockpots. They consume less energy. (costs about 2 cents an hour) Checkout Cooking.com for some great coupons and deals on crockpots as well as other house wares.

4. Shop for grills and smokers before Thanksgiving week. You can find the best deals in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. Check out either BBQGuys or Home Depot for great deals on grills and smokers.

5. If you need new tires before hit the road, now is the best time for deals on standard tires. (winter tires are a different story) If you are a do-it-yourselfer and want to save money, check out The Tire Rack.

6. If you are flying to your destination for the holidays, flights are usually cheaper if you come back on Sunday morning rather than Saturday evening. Look for early booking coupons from discounters like Travelocity, Expedia, and Orbitz.

7. Go ahead and lower the thermostat right before people arrive for Thanksgiving dinner. There is a lot of heat generating not only from cooking but also from all the warm bodies!

8. If you buy soda, get two liter bottles (or three liters) instead of cans. The same idea applies for cranberry, stuffing, and all your other fixings! Just make sure to compare the unit price before committing to the purchase.

9. Create your shopping list first, and then check the mailers, inserts, or CouponShack.com for grocery coupons. Shop only when you see a deal for an item on your list.

10. If you are going to have a turkey for Christmas too, go ahead and get it during the Thanksgiving holidays and freeze it. Turkeys are cheaper during Thanksgiving than Christmas.

Also, don't forget about the $1 chicken meal at Boston Market while you are running around getting ready for Thanksgiving!
