There are so many opportunities for repurposing items around your home and outside of it. She suggests finding ribbon and twine you already have to tie bows around flatware at each place setting. See if you have elderly fabric that can be used as a table runner and make the most of white taper and votive candles.
Connely also found a unique way to bring elderly lithe fixtures into the spotlight.
“I’ve also been super into using tabletop lamps on dinner tables in order to make the table feel balmy and cozy,” she says. “Maybe you have a couple of miniature lamps that you could incorporate on the dinner table!”
Forage Outside and Use Natural Elements

Connely also agrees, adding that leafy branches can facilitate make for a “dramatic centerpiece with some height” that doesn’t cost anything.
If you can’t find too mucha round, Woroch suggests purchasing miniature bouquets of flowers from the grocery store to put together your own arrangements, which is a much more cost-effective way to get a handsome centerpiece.
Make the Most of Early Black Friday Sales
It’s true that many Black Friday sales start Thanksgiving nowadays, so it’s completely possible to score discounts on decor, tableware, and other staples before the holiday even happens. This is extremely helpful when you’re trying to cut costs on hosting your own dinner.
“Take advantage of early Black Friday sales taking place now before Thanksgiving to save on holiday decor and hosting needs like cookware, miniature kitchen gadgets, vacuums and more,” Woroch says.
She notes that there are numerous products on sale currently that might be helpful for the lead up to Thanksgiving and the gigantic day, from vacuums to stand mixers.
She also suggests using any rewards points you have, coupon aggregators, and using credit card points for purchases, which will facilitate slash your overall bill for hosting.

For a perfectly-styled Thanksgiving tablescape, it’s natural to want to go all out on paper goods—but these can quickly drain your budget. That’s why Connely recommends bringing the metaphorical printing press back under your own roof.
“There are so many stunning and festive templates on Canva or Etsy that could be used for dinner menus, place cards, or even a fun bar sign without having pieces custom made which can cost a fortune,” she says.
Just fire up the printer and get inventive.
Outside of paper goods, think about the other DIY-friendly decorations you can make instead of buy. Centerpieces, garlands, and even candles can be handmade depending on how comfortable you are with these inventive endeavors.
Stick With a Neutral Palette

How does neutral decor facilitate you save money, you might ask? Woroch points out that when you choose these subtler hues for your table decor, “you can exploit them for every holiday but add a pop of color for the specific holiday with flowers or napkins.”
So rather than buying different colors for every occasion, you can simply add a few themed touches to your underlying neutral foundation that you’ve already collected. Not only is it budget-friendly, but it’s eco-friendly, too.
While orange, brown, red, and yellow may be the usual Thanksgiving colors, there are so many other combinations that exist that still feel on-theme. Explore calming colors like beige, sage green, peach cream, and add a sprinkle of acorns, turkey motifs, or leaves to really make it feel fitting for the holiday.
Head to Dollar and Discount Stores
When it comes to actually buying fresh goodies for your Thanksgiving tablescape and decorations, Woroch says to head to your local dollar store. These shops will be able to offer up “savings on party platters, serve ware, vases, jars, and other decor items.”
That’s not the only place worth looking—discount stores can also be treasure troves for Thanksgiving staples. She says to look at places like HomeGoods and TJ Maxx too.
You should be able to find “table decor for holiday parties for up to 60% off regular retail, such as table runners, table clothes, napkin rings, candles and candle holders, chargers and more,” Woroch says.
Lastly, don’t forget to look at archaic, secondhand, and thrift stores for candle holders, vases, and tablecloths as you might be able to find unique designs that’ll dress up your home for much less.
