Hi Angie,
I was thinking that the best deal would be the turkey for $5., or .40 cents a pound. To me the rest of the items with the $20.00 dinner look like items that you would be able to get cheaper than $15.00. Especially with sales and coupons. The stove top is on sale this week for .78 cents, .98 cents in some areas. The $15.00 would be the balance left if you just bought the turkey. Let me know what you think.
HI Penny,
While I agree that with loss leaders and coupons we could do way better and even have more food, I posted this to show that even someone who doesn't use coupons and save on their meal AND that this fall/winter due to the economy will probably produce some great price wars.
I have done Thanksgiving dinner (2 years ago) for 12 people for $13.00, including the 2 liters of soda I needed to buy for some family members.) :)
