Kroger's has turkey for .59 lb with a $20 purchase...I use a lot of coupons on that day, spent about $40 and that got about $75 of groceries(because of the coupons which Kroger's doubles in TN)....and because I spent $100 for the entire month I got a .10 discount on a gal of gas when I filled the van.

While I won't use all the food right away, most of it is long term storage stuff like canned fruits and veggies,or baking goods.

Guess it will when broken down cost about $30 to feed the 3 of us, with plenty of left overs for several additional meals.

And what I didn't buy at Kroger's I got at the Commissary even cheaper than at the civilian stores.
