Looking to save money with shopping for the big family meals, whether you shop for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or just a family meal~ check out Walmart!Walmart’s Thanksgiving Dinner for Eight could fit into an affordable price range of $20! With Christmas right around the corner, I think Walmart will be a great place to buy our groceries with our budget in mind. I enjoyed looking over the wonderful information found on the Holiday Meals site for Walmart. The website has great recipes, and options to make your dollar stretch. One recipe that I am excited to try for the Walmart site is: Pumpkin Roll Cake with Warm Cinnamon Caramel Sauce! Yum, this looks so tastey, and the presentation is mouth watering! I usually make Pumpkin bars with the cream cheese frosting for our family gatherings, but trying something new could be fun, and great tasting. Walmart teamed up with the Food Network's Melissa d'Arabians. She is talented~ and you can even watch a video of her talking about food ideas.

Don't assume that the bigger packages are cheaper. Like, we were buying tomato paste at Wal-mart over the weekend, and two small cans cost a few cents less than one large can, the same total ounces. Those pennies add up.
i stick to my list and try to buy generic brands when possible!

This store(wal-mart) is my best store,everytime my son says lets go to the Mall i tell him okey my mall and he says not wal-mart..haha..and the best thing is that i find everything i need there and the prices are wonderful...On the food network i had seen a trick and snack for the family with extra hotdog buns..one bun u can split in for and melt butter and mix some minced garlic or powder smere on top of the buns and sprinkle parmasan cheese or montrella cheese and put in the oven for 19-15 minutes and now u have cheesy garlic bread...

Tips: use coupons and buy in advance if there are items you know you are going to need. Also, use off brand if possible

My best money savings tip is to wait for sales to use your coupons and shop at places that double coupons, every little bit helps!

Buy items on sale with coupons. Cook in large quantities and freeze for future use.
Check the clearance shelves or baskets before beginning your grocery shopping. And, check the marked down meat bin. I save a bundle.
Some of my favorite holiday memories is eating a traditional meal the night before Christmas and opening one gift .

Have your favorite stores email you the sales so you can make a list and know exactly where to shop to get the best deal...and use coupons
I buy in bulk, use coupons and buy store brands and when I entertain if a guest offers to bring a dish I take them up on that offer.
My money saving tip is to clip coupons and use them at grocery stores that double them

I save money by using recyclable wrapping paper. Cloth and other alternatives are a lot cheaper because you can use them more than once.

My fave money saving tips are to buy in bulk if you can! Costco and even Walmart offers bigger sizes of things and you can save a lot of money this way as long as stuff is preserved.

Don't let food go to waste. It doesn't matter how much you have saved when you first bought it if you have leftovers that get thrown out. Cook with the leftovers in mind. Plan to use the rest of the roast in burritos, or add the rest of the chicken to a pot pie.

My money saving tip is to NOT be prepared for once! Whatever food you need is on sale RIGHT before the holiday (assuming you eat the boring traditional stuff)!

I use coupons to save even more! Walmart also has sample and coupon offers on their site.
My tip is to save your coupons until the product is on sale...that way you get double the savings.
My favorite memory is Christmas caroling with the family!

Wal-mart is a great place to save money. Some people use grocerygame.com for grocery help too. Thanks for giving the gift cards away!
sweepsmatt@hotmail.com
always check out the grocery store sales flyer as soon as you get into the store or on their website.
You really do save a lot of money that way.

Make a gift list that is within your budget and stick to it. Do not buy things that are not on your list even if they are on sae. This will make you go over your budget.
Use coupons along with sale items for the best saving.

Clip coupons for groceries and go to stores that double the value of them.
One of my favorite memories was getting a giant doll house. Thanks!
I remember when I first discovered to search for coupons and codes on the internet before making an online purchase. I discovered that I could have previously saved tons of money. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com
