I must really be doing well, The elevated price of the Thanksgiving meal, perhaps 20 bucks more total than last year honestly didn’t affect my bottom line.
Prices didn’t effect us at all. There are only four for Thanksgiving Dinner this year:
Turkey - been frozen since last year when I bought it and ended up not needing it. 9.5# bird. Brined it and it roasted up real nice. ($3.70)
Mashed Potatoes - from our garden. $0
Honeynut Squash - from our garden. $0
Green Beans & Bacon - from our garden. (Bacon was already on hand.) $1.00
Stuffing - 2 boxes of Stove Top, dressed up with apples, onions & celery - $2.00 total.
Pumpkin Pie - Pumpkin from the garden, homemade crust for pennies, can of condensed milk, a little sugar & spices already on hand. I’ll be generous and call it $1.00. ;)
So, under $10 for a meal for four and yummy leftovers.
Bring it, ‘Brandon!’
