Thanksgiving is almost here! We always plan on cooking a fabulous feast, but what do we do with all the remaining food? Leftover side dishes, such as mashed potatoes and stuffing, don’t store well and will most likely end up in the trash can eventually. You can help lower food waste and save money by putting your creativity to work and getting comfortable using up those Thanksgiving leftovers instead of letting them rot in the fridge with no purpose.
Donate To Those In Need
If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year, chances are there will be enough leftovers to feed a small army. But rather than let them go to waste, why not find a way to share with your friends and neighbors? There are thousands of organizations across the country that accept food donations during this time of year. Homeless shelters, soup kitchens, food banks, and churches are all places that accept food donations around the holidays. Not only do you avoid wasting food, but you are helping those in need.
Create Something New
If you would like to repurpose the leftovers to save money, then don’t be scared to get creative. You can make some amazing things with your leftover Thanksgiving turkey, especially if you know your way around the kitchen. Here are some easy and yummy meal ideas that put your turkey to good use:

The delivery driver Dennis was extremely professional and capable of maneuvering the building in a space-restricted spot. Amazingly, he managed to preposition the building on the truck, and maneuver the building to its target spot. Very skilled operator, diligent in overcoming obstacles, polite, and efficient. All I can say is “Wow”. Great service, Great product.

My building was delivered yesterday and everything was as ordered and in excellent condition.
Would you please pass on to appropriate parties that the delivery company and Marvin, the driver, did a superb job. I was most favorably impressed with Marvin’s ability to precisely place the building in a very tight and difficult spot. You are well served using him for delivery of your buildings.
