With Thanksgiving coming around the corner, you realize that you will not be seeing some of your friends for this fun-filled holiday. There are probably several people you do want to share that you are thankful for in your life, but also want to get one more Instagram moment locked away. There are several ways to get the Instagram look without the big dent in your savings account.

 

First things first, decorations! Here are several decorations that are under $20.00 and will gather that Instagram look!

1. Friendsgiving Balloons Found on Amazon for $12.99

2. Table cloth found at Dollar Tree for $1.00

3. Platters for food and other treats at the Dollar Tree for $1.00  

4. Gold wall décor on Amazon for $10.19

What’s a Friendsgiving without food? Boring. But, if you decide that you want to go potluck with your friends, these are some cheaper ways to purchase or make food for your gathering.

5. Pumpkin Pie found at Walmart for $2.87

6. Stouffer’s Mac n Cheese Family Size at Target for $6.39

7. Turkey meatballs at Target for $6.99 (because cooking a turkey can be stressful)

8. Idahoan Loaded Baked Mashed Potatoes Family Size at Walmart for $1.88 (these are honestly my second favorite type of mashed potatoes and very quick!)

Friendsgiving does not have to be stressful and does not have to put you in complete debt. I hope these tips of where to hunt down your supplies makes it easier! Have a great Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving!
