As more people get into the spirit of the holidays, Thanksgiving food and products will fly off the shelves and you may lose out on a great offer! It’s best to start shopping now to avoid the surge, especially if you want to save a pretty penny.

On the bright side, many brands are upping the ante with the savings game, so you’ll have a lot of options on the table. To avoid choice overload, here’s a quick guide to get you started on Thanksgiving savings.

Most importantly, these five special rewards are found in the Miles app and will save you anything from $165 to over $230, the choice is yours.

Pay $12 Less For Each Thanksgiving Decoration

Turn your space into a festive, fall haven.

With so many details to account for while decorating your space, do you even know where to start?

Not many would have 1–800-Flowers.com as a top choice, but we have plenty of reasons to put this one in your back pocket. The variety of décor alone fits all kinds of tastes and styles.

For example, you can

The list is endless!

In short, if you’re as enamored as we are with the fall selection, make sure to search for “1800” in the Miles app to get 20% off across your entire order.

With an average order costing approximately $60, this means that you would save $12 per item or a few cups of Starbucks coffee per decoration!

Next, The Main Attraction: a 10–14lb Turkey, For Free

Get a fat 10-pounder for free

This year, the cost of turkey is expected to rise due to various reasons, including inflation and supply chain issues. Last year, turkey prices were at $0.40 per pound. This year, expect prices to be around the $0.90 per pound mark.

The good news is that most shoppers will most likely be able to find something, just not the expected fat 10-pounder.

That is unless… you know where to look.

Don’t worry, we got you.

Get All The Side Dishes Delivered For $0

Convenient and fast groceries at the tap of a button

Now that we have the turkey accounted for, let’s turn over to the mouthwatering side dishes. From that sweet and tart cranberry sauce to the delectable spoonful of roasted Brussels sprouts, dinner wouldn’t be the same without this and that to add to our plates.

Hence, with so much to do for the big day, you can rest assured that there are options out there for when you’re in a time or financial pinch.

First, for those on a time crunch, we have an offer for you in the app: go to the “Rewards” page, and on the top left-hand corner tap on the magnifying glass to search for “Instacart”. There you’ll see an offer for Free Delivery on the First Order of a $10+ purchase. Click and redeem to get your groceries in as fast as 1 hour!

On the other hand, if you’re in a financial crunch and reside in California, search for the same brand (“Instacart”) and click on the Free Delivery on the First 3 Orders with EBT Payment reward. Once you redeem, make a purchase of $35 or more and you qualify for three free delivery or pickup! You’ll save up to $12 with this offer.

Redeem the offer and save both time and money!

Total Savings: $16

Toast The Night Away With A Free Extra Bottle Of Award-Winning Wine

Wine for any and every type of personality and taste

During your Thanksgiving meal, as we hold hands to give thanks, raise a glass and finish off the evening with a palate-perfect wine crafted to your taste.

Winc can help you find that award-winning red, white, or rosé with their fun and snarky Palate Profile quiz. It’s also a very inclusive company that has options for those sensitive to sugar and sulfites, or those looking for an organic option.

Since we’re all about saving, don’t pay the $48 for three bottles; instead, redeem the Winc reward in Miles for four bottles of your favorite wines for $29.95 plus free shipping!

Clink away and toast to your happy wallet.

Total Savings: 37.5% OFF or $18

Giving Thanks Without The Money Blues

Most families certainly agree that holidays can stress your bank account if you’re not careful. In an effort to help relieve some of that stress, we’re working diligently alongside our partners to give you the best value yet.

From 60% off of Sam’s Club membership to free cleaning product samples, there’s something for everyone, for any purpose.

Thus, if these five offers didn’t make the cut, we invite you to explore the hundreds of other rewards in the Miles app that will keep your pockets full as prices rise.
