I saved $6.50 by clipping Smart Coupons for my Family Dollar shopping trip. My savings included a $5 off $25+ coupon on any purchase, a Lemonheads coupon, and a Russell Stover coupon. Please check the Family Dollar website for the current Smart Coupons. With over 130 coupons to choose from, you’re sure to find a few coupons that you can use!
I also browsed the Weekly Deals at Family Dollar to see the price drops and help me make my shopping list. I was impressed with the selection of Thanksgiving décor, serving ware and candy. Many of the Thanksgiving décor products I looked at were priced at $1 WOW (which is a very good price!).

I had a blast making Turkey Cookies from Nutter Butter cookies and Golden OREOs. They are easy to make and your kids can help make them! This is an “assembly only” recipe, so no baking is involved! Here are the instructions to make them:
TURKEY COOKIES
Ingredients Needed:
- Golden OREO cookies
- Nutter Butter cookies
- Reese’s Pieces
- Candy Eyes
- Candy Corn
- Orange Frosting
- Red Frosting
- White Frosting
Step 1 – Secure the Golden OREO cookie to the Nutter Butter cookie with a generous dab of white frosting so that the top of the Nutter Butter cookie touches the middle of the Golden OREO cookie
Step 2 – Secure both eyes to the Nutter Butter cookie using a very small dab of white frosting
Step 3 – Secure one orange Reese’s Pieces with orange frosting below the eyes
Step 4 – Apply red frosting for the turkey gizzard using a Wilton 16 frosting tip (small star shaped)
Step 5 – Secure 5 candy corns to the Golden OREO for feathers by applying a dab of white frosting to the yellow tip of each candy corn
Step 6 – Let your Turkey Cookies set to dry for at least an hour to secure all the pieces to the cookies

Next I made Thanksgiving Place Cards for our table setting. I found these adorable toothpick holders and I knew I could easily turn them into Thanksgiving Place Cards. I loved that I could get different ones for different people. Here are the instructions on how to make them:
THANKSGIVING PLACE CARDS
Supplies Needed:
- Thanksgiving Toothpick Holders
- Plastic Pencil Grips (or small pieces of foam)
- Black Chalkboard Stickers
- Orange Cardstock
- White Chalk
- Tootsie Pops
- Tape
Step 1 – Write names with white chalk on the black chalkboard stickers
Step 2 – Place stickers on orange cardstock and then cut around them
Step 3 – Secure names to Tootsie Pop with a long piece of tape
Step 4 – Stick a plastic pencil grip (or small piece of foam) inside an empty Thanksgiving Toothpick Holder
Step 5 – Place Tootsie Pop inside plastic pencil grip (or stick into small piece of foam) and then tape so the Tootsie Pop will not rotate
Step 6 – Set at each place setting for your Thanksgiving Table so everyone knows where they are sitting
While I was shopping at Family Dollar, I also picked up these fall leaf tealight candle holders. I made them into Thanksgiving Candy Dishes by placing lemon drops in them with one whopper in the middle. They remind me of my favorite flower, a sunflower, and it’s a nice sweet treat for your Thanksgiving guests.
I love the serving dishes they have at Family Dollar for Thanksgiving. I bought turkey and pumpkin serving dishes for my Thanksgiving Table at super affordable prices.
Here’s what my Thanksgiving Place Setting looks like. I liked putting the Turkey Cookie on the dinner plate, the Thanksgiving Place Card near the glass and the Thanksgiving Candy Dish near the salad plate. In the background you can see my DIY Fall Centerpiece that I made with home décor I found at Family Dollar.
