'compensating factors' is the definition.
(a saving grace compensates for flaws)

'thanksgiving? the other way round' is the wordplay.
'thanksgiving?' becomes 'grace' ('grace' can be a synonym of 'thanksgiving').
'the other way' becomes 'savings' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'grace' placed within 'savings' is 'SAVING GRACES'.

'of money set aside during' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
