Genealogy Questions? Ask a Genealogist for Answers ASAP
Hello and welcome. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be doing the research on your question. I will begin with the information you have provided and if I need anything further, I will contact you. Thank you.
I have received no answer as yet, just acknowledgement of your reciept of my question.
Hello Kevin,
Is this all of the information you have on the individuals in this family? Are you sure John's wife's name is Etty?
This is all of the Ireland info on the Creamers that I have, other than 'Etty's name was 'Esther'. Thought to have met (maybe m.) John abt 1836.
The remainder of info is Australian.
John Snr died 16 May 1890, age 86 at North Adelaide. (b. 1804?)
Esther d. 1 Nov 1871, age 60, Adelaide. (b. 1811?)
Anna Connor (Creamer) married Alexander Crawford, son of James, 4 Jan 1863 in Adelaide. d. 12 Dec 1902, age 65, Adel. (b. 1837?)
Patrick Creamer m. Rebecca Nugent in Adelaide, 18 Aug 1862. d 24 Oct 1895, age 54, Adel. Hosp. (b. 1841?)

Thanks Shirley, but you have only confirmed what I already have in the way of Australian info.
I am desparately seeking some Irish information, please assist.
Your question was not specific, but I will take a look and see what I can find for you.
Thank you,
Hi Shirley,
my request is as stated in my first message, that is, in order of preference:
1. The Maiden name of Esther Creamer
2. Irish Marriage details with John snr.
3. Irish Birth details for as many of the family as possible.
The only Irish record I have been able to locate is for the marriage of John's daughter Anne.

You will most likely have to hire someone to do onsite research for you. At least now you have a location to search. I wish you luck with your research.
Once again, the information that you have given in your last message, is the same info that I supplied to you, unfortunateley.
As far as satisfaction of the service is concerned, there are 2 points to rate. Firstly your response time has been good, but the quality of new info supplied is zero.
On balance, that only leaves me with an overall rating of Poor to report.
I am not sure if you understand how this website works. You ask a specific question, about a specific person, for a specific detail. After you have received your answer you may ask questions about the answer provided. I have no knowledge of what you pay for your answer, as I only receive a percentage of it, and we never have direct communication. If you were to give me your email address it would be all x's in the message I receive.
All of the research we do here is done online. I pay for several subscription sites out of my own pocket and I have access to all genealogical information online. However, if the information is not online, for whatever reason, I will not be able to find it.
It is very important to me that my clients are 100% satisfied; I am a professional and I always do my best, but even a doctor loses a patient now and then.
I will tale your three clear, direct questions and I will do what I can to find your answers but that does not guarantee that I will find the answer you want or that I will find an answer at all.
The answers you are looking for are not online. You will have to hire someone to do on site research, but even then I do not know if you will locate anything.
I located a baptism for a John Creamer but it occurred in 1829 and it was very unusual for someone to be baptized, by the Catholic Church, at the age of 25.

Given their somehwat relaxed nature and relatively slow reaction time, turtles are one of the easier reptile species to observe. The shell affords the turtle luxury and is vital to their survival. Coyotes have been known to dig at a box turtle's shell for half an hour, only to give up with the turtle none worse for the wear. Prince William Forest Park is fortunate enough to have a healthy population of turtles. Here are some of the turtles you might come across during a walk in the park.
Painted Turtles
Box Turtle
The Eastern Box Turtle species is declining in most areas due to over development and forest fragmentation. Here in Prince William Forest Park, after a nice summer rain, you may see many of them venturing out on the trails in plain view. Box turtles have a tremendous homing instinct and removing one from its territiory usually proves fatal as they roam the area searching for their home. Along the way, encounters with toads, dogs, and other predators can occur.

A day after Whitney Houston's unexpected death, singer Tony Bennett, music icon and winner of 17 Grammy Awards, paid tribute to the award-winning star at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party. He took this opportunity not only to honor her life and accomplishments and sing a song in her memory, but also to advocate for the legalization of drugs.
(Photo Credit: AP)
In spite of the fact that there is speculation that Houston's death was drug-related, given her history with drug use (including marijuana), Bennett bravely spoke up about what so many already know: the war on drugs is a failure and is more harmful to society than the drugs themselves. For marijuana offenses alone, there were over 850,000 arrests in 2010, and 88% of those were for simple possession.
Watch this video of Tony Bennett speaking up for change. He gets it, and he had the courage to say so.
(Author's Edit: Original video was taken down by YouTube user. New video links to CNN's coverage, with Tony Bennett's comments, as well as a panel discussion including Arianna Huffington, who echoed Bennett's sentiments that the war on drugs has failed.)

Mobile Experts' Latest Small Cell Market Forecast Predicts Carrier-Grade Small Cells Will Outnumber Consumer Femtocells in 2016
You Might Be Surprised by Our (Accurate) Forecast
Mar 27, 2013, 08:35 ET
CAMPBELL, Calif., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile Experts has released a new Small Cell Market Forecast, predicting more than 5 million metrocells shipped in 2017.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130327/PH83843 )
Based on weak shipment data during 2012, Mobile Experts predicts slow growth for residential femtocells, at only 12% per year. Faster growth will come from capacity upgrades, as mobile operators are pushing hard for high-capacity small cells. The new Mobile Experts forecast predicts that, taken together, outdoor metrocells and indoor capacity nodes will overtake residential femtocell shipments in the 2016 time frame.
"The Asia-Pacific market has led the way in small cells, with more than 100,000 public small cells already deployed in Korea and Japan," explained Joe Madden, Principal Analyst at Mobile Experts. "The Asian market is stretching the femtocell into areas where the small cells are handling capacity effectively for operators like KT, SKT, and NTT DoCoMo. Many other operators around the world will follow this example, as the LTE macro roll-out is completed and capacity tightens up in North America, China, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. The bottom line is that small cells are 65% less expensive than macro base stations, for adding mobile capacity."
This forecast identifies eight different types of small cells, by architecture and by power level. In this year's analysis, Mobile Experts included low-power Remote Radio Head units, multi-band small cells, and Carrier Aggregation into the forecast, with 33 band combinations identified for inter-band CA. The report breaks down small cell shipments by frequency band and identified 38 frequency bands for small cell deployment.
Joe Madden explained the data sources behind the forecast: "Our Advisory Panel of operators and suppliers has been very helpful in guiding us to an accurate forecast for the past four years. More than 50 companies have helped us to compile a huge database of information, tracking individual operators by frequency band, power level, and architecture. By tracking the details, our 2009 forecast has come in within 6% of actual shipment figures, while competing analysts missed by 90% to 300%."
"Every spring, we compile information about the HetNet architecture and all different kinds of radio solutions: Femtocells, Picocells, Microcells, Metrocells, DAS systems, repeaters, and macro base stations. This study presents our expected evolution for the HetNet, and will serve as the foundation for ongoing research into Carrier Wi-Fi, Backhaul for Small Cells, and Semiconductors for Small Cells."
About Mobile Experts LLC:
Mobile Experts provides insightful market analysis for the mobile infrastructure and mobile handset markets. Research topics center on technology introduction for radio frequency (RF) and communications innovation. Recent publications focus on Macro Base Station Transceiver Forecast, Semiconductors in Remote Radio Heads (RRH), Semiconductors for Small Cells, Backhaul for Small Cells, DAS, and Handset RF Frontends. A study on Carrier Wi-Fi will be published in a few weeks.

Salina, N.Y. — "Siren Studios tattoo parlor and drive-thru," said Ben Duszak as he answered the phone less than three hours after a car — his own — crashed into his business.
He was trying to keep his sense of humor, but it wasn't easy because, as he said, "I was the one who almost got killed walking out the door."
Duszak and his business partner, Corinne Bardrof, along with one employee and three friends, were in the tattoo parlor Friday night. Siren Studios, at 3715 New Court Ave., in Lyncourt, normally closes at 9 p.m., but Duszak and Bardrof wanted to close early for the holiday weekend, he said, so they could travel out of town.
At 8:12 p.m. Friday, as he was leaving, "I put my hand on the front door and saw headlights and turned around and ran (back into the parlor)," he said.
Both he and his girlfriend, Allison Woznica, were hit by the car, he said. His injuries weren't serious, but Woznica was taken to a hospital to be checked as a precaution, he said.
Here's the official description of what happened, according to Onondaga County sheriff's Detective Jon Seeber:
Matthew L. White, 37, of 301 Galster Ave., Lyncourt, was driving a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck east on Route 298 in Lyncourt when he failed to negotiate a curve at the corner of New Court Avenue. His pickup left the road and hit two unoccupied parked vehicles in front of the Siren Studios. One of the parked cars crashed into the tattoo parlor.
White was charged with driving while intoxicated, aggravated DWI and failing to use designated lane. White had minor lacerations caused by the airbag deployment. He refused treatment at the scene. He was issued traffic tickets and is to appear Jan. 30 in the Town of Salina Court.
Driving while intoxicated and aggravated driving while intoxicated are unclassified misdemeanors. Failing to use designated lane is a traffic infraction.
Those unoccupied cars were Duszak's and Woznica's, Duszak said. Duszak's car kept going into the building and hit them, he said.
"Both cars were completely totaled," he said. "My car went right into the front room of the tattoo shop."
The shop, which also sells some artwork and employ a full-time licensed massage therapist, opened for business on March 2.
The store owners originally planned to reopen on Monday. Now Duszak says he's not sure how long it will take to repair the shop, and his holiday travel plans are on hold.
"I'm just glad he (the driver) didn't hit somebody on the street and nobody got killed," Duszak said.

IMI, the most important aspect of a carry gun is reliability. Put it through it's paces as it is. See what kind, if any, malfunctions occur and go from there. About the only parts I would replace are the sights, the thumb safety and the trigger. I like an extended safety and I have big hands so I need a long trigger. I shot a 1911 .38Super this morning with the old military style trigger in it and I like to not found it. Another item you might look at is the mainspring housing. The shape of the housing can make a big difference in point shooting. I use an arched housing but that causes some folks to shoot low. There is the flat of course and the Wedge which is sort of the middle ground. George

1 Source: Lipper, based on a worldwide analysis of all of the known providers of funds in these categories. The analysis covered ETFs, ETNs and mutual funds by the number of funds and assets (as of 6/30/2009).All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. ProShares entail certain risks, including the use of aggressive investment techniques (futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swap agreements and similar instruments), imperfect benchmark correlation, leverage and market-price variance risks, all of which can increase volatility and decrease performance. ProShares are non-diversified and narrowly focused investments, including single country funds, typically exhibit higher volatility. International investments may also involve risk from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, differences in generally accepted accounting principles and economic or political instability. In emerging markets, all these risks are heightened and lower trading volumes may occur. Short ProShares should lose value when their market indexes rise. There is no guarantee that any ProShares ETF will achieve its investment objective. Many ProFunds employ leveraged investment techniques that magnify gains and losses, and result in greater volatility in value. The NAV values of these International ProShares are computed as of the close of the U.S. securities markets based upon the value of one or more U.S. exchange traded securities or instruments that reflect the values of the securities underlying the Index.

Forest Lake boys head hockey coach Aaron Forsythe has stepped down from that post after being named the new activities director for Forest Lake Senior High School, effective July 1.
Forsythe said, although the decision was difficult, he feels he made the best choice for the hockey program as well as the programs he will soon be overseeing.
"I knew when I accepted the position that I couldn't do both," Forsythe said. "My reason in waiting was to be approved by the school board and I wanted the boys to hear it from me first. "
Forsythe was at the helm of the boys hockey program for eight years. This season the Rangers went 15-7-4 overall and 11-3-4 in the Suburban East Conference.
"I'm kind of in a unique situation where I'm grasping the idea that I'm done," Forsythe said. "Hockey has been such a big part of my life and really my identity for a long time. I'm just proud of the kids and the relationships I've built over the last 7-8 years."
Applications for the position are posted until Wednesday, May 21. A new head coach will be named by the end of the school year.

The interior of your home may look like it just got ripped to shreds by a tornado, but it doesn't have to smell like the aftermath of Mother Nature's fury. Right now, Pier 1 Imports is practically giving away the most beautiful potpourri sachets filled with incredible scents ranging from Citrus Cilantro (my personal favorite) and Crisp Bamboo (another fave) to Asian Spice and Pomegranate.
I know because I was just there yesterday stocking up on stocking stuffers.
One dollar per sachet. Score!
While I'm not encouraging you to live like a sloth and mask the stench that may be enveloping your home, I am not above providing tips on how to make closets, drawers and bathrooms smell a bit fresher. What's more, now that Old Man Winter is knocking and I don't get to open the windows as much as I would like to, a little potpourri can go a long way.
The other reason I am promoting potpourri is that I am not very fond of those new automatic air fresheners. Whereas my neighbor swears by her Airwick iMotion Freshmatic Compact Automatic Spray, I just haven't learned to embrace the high-tech wonder. Don't get me wrong; frankly, I am stunned that homes can now be equipped with air fresheners with motion detectors. I just wonder why you would need such a fancy gadget in your house freshening the air every 9, 18 or 36 minutes.
Still, the product gets rave reviews from my neighbor, and according to the company's website, there's a loyal customer base for the little sprayer that could. The inner mechanics of the Airwick include a watchful motion sensor that detects movement and determines if there's too much or too little freshness going on in the area where it is situated. I suppose that's a good thing, especially if you are a frugal freshener and you skimp on spraying, so you don't have to spend so much on refills.
Call me old fashioned, but I think I will stick with my potpourri for now.
Do you own an Airwick iMotion? How would you rate it?

Rascal Flatts Guitarist Joe Don Rooney and Wife Expecting Third Child
Rascal Flatts guitarist Joe Don Rooney has announced that he and his wife, Tiffany Fallon, are expecting their third child.
A representative confirmed the news to People on Monday (March 31). Their new addition will join five-year-old Jagger Donovan and three-year-old Raquel Blue.
"We are so thrilled and feel so blessed to bring another little angel into our world," the couple said in a statement. "Jagger and Rocky are very excited too. They're going to make a great 'big brother-big sister duo' as the Rooney circus continues."
Flatts bassist Jay DeMarcus leaked the news early via social media on Sunday night (March 30).
Congrats to my brother @JoeDonRooney I'm proud to be an uncle again!!! @Tiffallon love you guys!!!
— Jay DeMarcus (@JayDeMarcus) March 30, 2014
38-year-old Rooney married Fallon — who was Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 2005 — in April of 2006. She has also appeared in videos — most notable Toby Keith's clip for 'Who's Your Daddy' — and competed on a season of 'Celebrity Apprentice.'
Congratulations to the happy family!

Am I more than a mother? Am I a stay at home mother? Effectively I am a stay at home mother but I see myself as an unemployed mother. Of course there is a whole lot of 'stuff' about being 'unemployed'. The amount of time you've been unemployed. What you do while your unemployed. People have a view about being unemployed. To many people it implies some negatives. It's easy to judge.
My current situation is also of my making. I haven't looked for a job for months because we've made a decision to relocate. My priority is organising that and then settling my son in a new place. I've enjoyed being able to settle him into school without juggling work. I recognise that work and school are odd bedfellows both arguing over the share of the duvet. I've come to appreciate that to effectively move my son 160 miles I need to be around, I need to have time for him and his needs. That keeps me unemployed, out of world of work and employed it's a legitimate role.
I know that's not doing my CV any favours. I am more than an unemployed mother. I know I am very lucky and many parents. Men and women have no choice about working.
As the distance from my last working role grows I feel as if my working skills diminish and yet I have a long work history. A lot of what makes me a good employee, the organised part of me, the communication and managing things and people, is like riding a bike, it comes naturally now. I'm doing it all the time anyway. Except childcare and running a household isn't recognised as a skill set worthy of management CV.
Part of reason for creating this blog was to have a space (at the time outside of work) outside of being a mother. Some of this blog is about; me, me, me (more than a mother). Society judges mothers in a way it doesn't fathers. Being a mother becomes an all-encompassing and somehow, and I appreciate not everyone will agree, for men it is less so. Society doesn't view fatherhood in the same way.
I know many climbers and mountaineers. In 1995 Alison Hargreaves left her two children to climb K2. She died in her attempt. The media portrayed her as selfish and more. In 2008 11 people died on K2. How many of them were fathers? It didn't get a mention.
I sometimes wonder if I were a man, a father even, who had taken 18 months away from work and what I had to show for that time was a blog. Would that be judged differently?
I am a mother and that is intrinsically linked to who I am now. I am not just a mother. Employed. Unemployed. I am me. Two women on the London Eye. Really how much difference is there?
I wrote this post inspired by Kate at Kate Takes 5. There's much more to Kate pop over and see.

Extensive Home Improvement and Landscaping Programming, Competition Series,
More Experts and Exciting Initiatives Set the Stage for Strong Growth in 2010
NEW YORK – February 1, 2010 – The recent rise in home sales due to the stimulus plan and improving economy has experts predicting home remodeling spending to increase to nearly $111 billion by the end of this year, showing the first signs of growth after a prolonged period of decline.

Best laugh for the day!

Pacers can always match Hibbs and then trade him. Take that ***** for trying to go to Portland!
JO and particularly Tinsley were disliked for more reasons and circumstances than mere performance issues, but that's a whole other thread I don't want to even read, let alone participate in, right now.Quote:
How I miss those days of JO and Tinsley love later in their Pacers career, or the sweet sounds of affection they sang out every night when they heard the names of Croshere or Bender mentioned.
Bender was injuries first, performance second. Croshere was never as good or as important as Roy even is now, let alone if he ever improved anymore. A backup PF we thought could be the starter. WE ALREADLY KNOW ROY CAN START BECAUSE HE IS BETTER AND MORE VALUABLE THE CROSHERE EVER WAS, and center is much more valuable spot to have a good player than a PF. So don't waste anyone's time with such a silly comparison.
You're continuing to rationalize; assuming Roy will disappoint or get hurt, that the team won't do well with him back, and present the only alternative to be this fantasy where we make these great moves to stay as good or better than last year even without Roy and we win 80% of our early games. That's a false dichotomy.
Then we're simply back to basketball decisions, not appeasing fans, which I get and I'm fine with. I still say it's a bad idea.Quote:
So the "watch the fan reaction" cuts BOTH WAYS. Everything in these scenarios depends on results, not the initial action. If the choice works then fans will be happy, if the choice flops then fans will be mad, period. So make the choice you (TPTB) feel most comfortable with and fans-be-damned.
WE ARE IN A POSITION TO KEEP OUR STARTING FIVE AND STILL IMPROVE THE BENCH.Quote:
IMO spreading Roy out as more bench talent and less starters talent makes sense because the team is in no-mans-land now, halfway between consolidated and deep. Balanced starters but no star, and yet as the playoffs showed there really isn't much bench depth. So you are losing at the top end and the deep bench end. You have no point of advantage in terms of top end or deep.
If Barbosa, Tyler and Lou had given teams fits in the playoffs it would be different, but that's not what happened. What we thought was a strength started looking like a weakness.
Given all the known variables, I would find it totally unacceptable for the Pacers not to match Portland's offer ... PERIOD, end of story ...
Ya'll can think what you want about my reaction and what it will be if Roy isn't a Pacer come opening tip-off, but I am deadset in my mind on this and my conviction is strong..
So if you're going to stick with that, something I consider to be pure fantasy, you're basically endorsing him while he sits back playing the fiddle while Pritchard sets Rome on fire. Unbelievable.
FWIW (I know, off topic...kind of) Conrad is no longer employed with the Pacers.
Honestly I could care less at "overspending" at this point for Roy. It's not like we're getting any superstar to come here anyways and fat lot of good having cap space did us this summer every top free agent who was banging the "want to be competitive and go to best situation and get money" sure look like a bunch of hypocrites right now. It's a ****** situation because of who we are and where we are we have to keep our own players who got us to where we are at and hope beyond hope that someone on our team improves like crazy. Anyone is advocating for us to let Roy go on account that we could spend that money elsewhere on someone else later is just
. It didn't get us anywhere this summer it's not going to later when we're an even less attractive of a draw than we are now cause we let Roy walk. Unless we draft the next Michael Jordan we're never going to have a superstar on this team. I had a glimmer of hope for this offseason given the cirucmstances but that's pretty much been snuffed out.
A snippet, though there are positive points made in the blog too...

If they think the offer Portland will be making is already overpaying why would they even consider going higher? What leverage do Roy and his agent have to demand even more money? Refuse to play or take the qualifing offer might do him more harm than good.
As for Mayo, as long as the contract's reasonable -- say, $7M per-season -- I'll be pleased with the signing. I trust that our management is smart enough not to offer him $11M per-season as Dumars did with Ben Gordon.
But I think when you put real names to this claimed Roy fair-market value things start to sound iffy. How can you pay a guy $14m if you're telling me he's not viewed as good enough to get a guy like Dwight when paired with Granger in a trade?
And if that deal can get done then I do think the Pacers should look at it.
As for options if you keep Roy, I'm not against keeping Roy and I keep saying that. I'm just mulling over the value add not just this year but the next couple of years. What if West continues to improve from the knee recovery and goes for 25-8 averages this year, wouldn't you want to keep him for 2-3 more years and wish you had the money to do so? What if a great player on one of these super teams isn't working out next season and they start looking for a team to absorb a bail out and change.
If you match Roy then you are buying into the team as Hill-Paul-Danny-West-Roy-DC-(one more guy). I loved what they could do at times this year so I'm not really against that as a future. I'm just concerned because it's a crossroads where you are committing to their own progress as the means for improvement to title status.
Roy and Paul could improve enough to get you there, but this is it, this is the moment of truth so to speak.
It's stupid not to question it a little and wonder if it's definitely the right thing to do. You are saying that the superstar the team needs is already here in the form of Roy. Roy showed nice signs, but "superstar" or regular all-star signs? I don't think he's come close to showing Smits' level of consistency and offensive threat.
That's fine. I didn't want to see it, either...
Putting down a large chunk of cash for two young talented backups is nice...but in the end, you're still paying for backups.
And if you don't think either guy is going to get massively overpaid, you don't understand the situation.
Nash and EJ came here to talk. They weren't offered as much money as they took elsewhere.Quote:
Honestly I could care less at "overspending" at this point for Roy. It's not like we're getting any superstar to come here anyways and fat lot of good having cap space did us this summer every top free agent who was banging the "want to be competitive and go to best situation and get money" sure look like a bunch of hypocrites right now.
Neither said "F Indianapolis, I'd take less to play elsewhere". Both said "well your team is good enough but so are other teams and they want to pay me more". If the Pacers threw a 3/39m at Nash he'd be a Pacer right now without a doubt. And as it was the Lakers had to give up 2 first round picks, one of which might have good value in a few years.
If the Pacers said "we are bailing on Roy because we want a superstar and we think Nash fits the bill", they'd have him. Dwight has been crying for the Nets for more than a year, and that includes ignoring LA too, so I don't think anyone had a shot at him. He's in love with the idea of Brooklyn which is one reason to not want him anyway, he's not focused on a title as much as a marketing situation.
The Pacers did the same thing with the other FAs as they've done so far with Roy - they've strongly mulled over what a fair, smart price is in order to be the best they can be within the cap limits.
Portland can get a 3rd team involved if they want Hibbert that badly. If we lose Roy, we need to replace his value or this fan base will turn on the pacers.
edit: above is presumed we match

N.M. Legislature to begin 30-day session
Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:15:14 GMT —
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Republican Gov. Susana Martinez will outline her legislative priorities to lawmakers on the opening day of the Legislature's 30-day session.
Lawmakers convene at noon Tuesday, and the governor will deliver her State of the State address to a joint session of the House and Senate.
Martinez already has unveiled parts of her legislative agenda, including merit pay for teachers and budget increases for programs to help train more health care professionals.
A Democratic legislator is sponsoring a constitutional amendment to legalize the possession and use of marijuana by people 21 and older.
Democratic Party officials are urging the Legislature to raise the minimum wage to at least $10 an hour, up from $7.50.
The session is limited to budget, taxes and proposals placed on the agenda by the governor.

Thanksgiving dinner can get expensive. Think about it: Whether you are serving dinner for two or 22, most people are buying turkey, vegetables, potatoes, dressing, wine, cranberries and pie, at the very least. Fine. Vegetarians don't need the turkey and a lot of you can do without the wine and pie, but a traditional Thanksgiving dinner can be pricey.
Yes, I see the irony in the fact that I am writing this post -- we go nuts at Thanksgiving at my house. We usually host at least 14 people, and we cook two turkeys, three vegetables, mashed and sweet potatoes, two kinds of dressing (one traditional, one with cornbread and chorizo), cranberries, a case of wine, a relish tray, two or three pies and usually appetizers. I'm not great with the whole "everything in moderation" thing, but I can speak to saving a few bucks at the grocery store.

You see, my husband is the cook, and I am the shopper.
My friend Kim had the best plan. Kim said the best way to do Thanksgiving on a budget is to eat at someone else's house. I think this is brilliant. However, if this isn't an option for you, I have a few more ideas.Make Everything from Scratch
Yes. It takes longer and is more work, but it is cheaper and everything will taste better and generally be healthier. It will at least have fewer preservatives. You might want to make a few things ahead of time; some vegetable dishes and casseroles heat up beautifully.
Think about it. A can of green beans costs about $ 1.79 for 14.5 ounces of mush and liquid. A bag of frozen green beans is $ 2.39 for 16 ounces. A bag of fresh cut washed and ready to eat costs $ 3.29 for 12 ounces and a pound of fresh (fresh!) uncut green beans is $1.99 per pound and they haven't been processed or over handled. They taste better, are better for you AND they are cheaper.For a Smaller Dinner, Just Buy a Turkey Breast
If there are just one, two or three people attending your Thanksgiving dinner, you don't actually have to cook an entire turkey. You can just buy a turkey breast. It is still a good amount of meat for far less money.Store Old Bread in the Freezer to Make the Dressing/Stuffing
This is genius. Everybody knows that dressing or stuffing or croutons aren't supposed to be made with fresh bread. There is no reason to buy new bread three days ahead of time and let it sit. Start putting older marginal (not if it has mold, throw that away) in the freezer early in November, and you will have plenty to work with by the time Thanksgiving rolls around.Have Your Guests Bring a Side
If you are hosting family or friends, assign your guests a side dish to bring. It sounds crazy, but this way you get the menu you planned, don't end up with three cranberry dishes, and maybe you won't have to bake a dessert at all. It also takes the stress of figuring out what to bring away from your friends.
If you have controlling friends or an aunt who doesn't like to conform, just give that person first choice.Don't Throw Away Those Leftovers!
I know we all love turkey on Black Friday, but by Sunday we are all sick to death of Thanksgiving leftovers. You can make turkey salad or turkey soup with leftovers, and they are delicious, and it doesn't feel like more recycling. Last year my husband took the last of the meat and made turkey pot pies from scratch that were to die for.
What tips do you have for Thanksgiving on a budget?
