You already know that Krafty Kris is a bargain shopper. As with any holiday, by shopping clearance sales after the holiday, you can get great prices on Thanksgiving decorations for the following year.
2. Decorate with food
A dish of fresh fruit or a cornucopia basket overflowing with fresh fruit makes a beautiful centerpiece for a dining room table. Winter squash is also a festive fall decoration that can be used as a pre-holiday Thanksgiving decoration then cooked and served at Thanksgiving dinner.

Fall leaves and pine cones lightly scented with potpourri oil can be placed in baskets or dishes throughout the house making gorgeous, practically free Thanksgiving decorations.
