$50 my ass
I read an article today that the average cost of Thanksgiving to feed 10 people is just over $50. In what universe?
Here's my list of non-negotiable stuff or there is no holiday. Granted some stuff I already have but in my quest to have one freaking holiday where I don't need to send someone to the store I make the entire list and go from there.
Notice no beverages except milk that's a different list.
And not doing crab puffs this time because man-child the younger went vegetarian and he loved them so because I'm a decent person I killed it from the menu.
This is pretty basic. Two kinds of stuffing, cranberries, potatoes...nothing fancy. If others can do similar for $50 then please post and show me your ways. Otherwise I'm just going to do what I do every year and throw away the receipts.
