You don't have to wait until black friday to score some deals on Thanksgiving dinner.
Shopping at a discount store is a great way to rack up the savings this holiday season.
I bought a total of 10 items from the leading grocery store and a local discount grocery store.
The total amount saved was $7.40 on a dinner for 10 guests. I spent only about $28.05 on the dinner purchased from a discount store and $35.45 from the leading grocery store.
The big savings came from the 16-pound turkey, over $4 cheaper.
With the extra change in your pocket, you can add another guest to your Thanksgiving dinner or even an place an extra dessert on the table.
