Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Thankful For . . .
This Thanksgiving I'm thinking about how grateful I am for all of the good things in my life, especially the fact that I'm employed. This has been one out of control year in terms of the economy, so let's focus on the positives today.
Maybe you didn't get a raise this year, but at least you still have a job when so many others have lost theirs.
How Money Are You: Trip to the Grocery Store, Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving grocery shopping led me to two different grocery stores (Safeway and Trader Joe's), and as luck would have it I still missed a couple of items on my list. I'm hosting a few friends for the holiday and can't wait to make all of the traditional holiday treats, with a twist, of course.
If you've been to the store to pick up your own Thanksgiving feast ingredients than you may have some good luck on the quiz that asks about how much some of these items cost.
Holiday Tip: Ask Yourself If You're Buying Too Much
Well-fed guests are a Thanksgiving hostess's goal, and that frame of mind often leads to a meal that would feed 20 more mouths than are seated at the table. Sure you can send some people home with leftovers, but you're spending much more than necessary if your feast is big enough to feed a small army. You can still have your roasted turkey sandwich with stuffing and next-day mashed potato pancakes without spending twice the money needed to create a bountiful holiday table.
How Money Are You: An Organic Thanksgiving
Cooking for a crowd doesn't have to cost a fortune, especially if your guests are supplementing your dishes with their own contributions. Thanksgiving is one holiday that many people celebrate by going all-out, from the rich food to the number of courses offered, and some are indulging in an organic feast even when they might have cut back on organic groceries in their daily lives. Do you know how much organic Thanksgiving food costs compared to its nonorganic counterparts?
Which Thanksgiving Leftovers Are Allowed on the Plane?
Can you imagine watching a container of your mom's famous sweet potato casserole being thrown into the garbage? Me neither. Leftovers are considered by many to be the best part of Thanksgiving.
November Must Have Tips
The telling chill in the air means there's no denying we're in the final stretch of 2008. There may only be eight weeks until the ball drops, but there's a whole lot packed in to two months time and we must start preparing. November has me thinking about how to stay on track with my finances when Thanksgiving dinner, traveling, gift buying, and a rising heating bill are happening at once.
How Money Are You: The Cost of Flying During Thanksgiving
The cost of air travel is something that fascinates me, perhaps because it's difficult to know when a fare is a deal or more expensive than it should be. One thing is certain about air travel: It's especially pricey to fly during the holidays compared to other times of the year. What do you know about the cost of traveling on two of the most popular days of the year, November 26 and November 30?
Would You Celebrate Thanksgiving Early to Save on Airfare?
Fall has arrived, and with it comes the reminder that the holidays will be here before we know it. Airfare expert Rick Seaney suggests getting the family together for Thanksgiving one month earlier than it's regularly scheduled time to save money on airfare. Prices are at their most expensive over the November holiday and he says you can save a fortune by carving the turkey and watching football in October instead.

Travel Tip: Where to Find Comfort When Your Flight Is Delayed
Flight delays are out of your control, but finding comfort while waiting could be in your hands. Depending on the length of your layover or delay and the time of day it occurs, you might consider becoming a VIP. It's not uncommon for airlines to sell one-day passes to their VIP lounges, where you'll find a more comfortable atmosphere than the bustling gates, Internet access, and refreshments.
