Good morning!
Are you getting things ready for your Thanksgiving meal this weekend? Awhile back I posted a page on preparing for the holidays ahead of time. There are a lot of things you can do ahead of time to save yourself stress the day of!
Yesterday I posted the Kohl’s Black Friday deals, Ace Hardware Black Friday deals and Target Black Friday Deals! I plan to be behind the computer most of the day today plugging away at more Black Friday ads and putting together some more best price round-ups.
If you still need a turkey or ham, check our best turkey and ham price round-up.

RECIPES & MEAL PLANNING
I’m brining and roasting a turkey today. Hope to post about it tomorrow! Could be delicious or a disaster. 🙂
Last night for dinner my husband and I went out on a date! Grandma watched the kids and we went to a fancy local restaurant that would normally be too much for our budget, but we opted to sit in the “lounge” and shared discounted happy hour appetizers (only $5.55 each) – we had yummy appetizers like steak tacos and a warm goat cheese covered in roasted pistachios, served with pita bread. We filled up on delicious food for a fraction of the price if we would have sat in the dining portion of this restaurant. We then went to the movie theater and saw Flight it was super good! Anyone with small kids can probably relate – we NEVER get to go to the theater for adult movies! What a treat. And because we ate dinner right before the movie we weren’t even slightly tempted by the smell of popcorn.

Thanks for the post. I’m always’ looking for frugal date ideas. I love the idea of a “happy hour” dinner. That would make a great post of different places that have a “happy hour”. How did you find out about where you went?
Heather says
A friend of mine told me about it! Ask around – those are the best Happy House finds!
Angela says
Glad you had a good time with your sweetie! Movies are SO rare for us, too!
Keri says
Thanks for all you do, Heather! I am from the Northwest and yours is by far my favorite blog. 🙂 I love being able to click on the links in the Kohls Black Friday post. What a bonus! It makes such a huge difference being able to see the product (rather than having to search) when you are cut so short on time. There are so many things I love about your site… the list would be too long to post. Thanks again!

Keri,
That is so sweet. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
