You can go to a couple of different stores and spend much less than $25 with the turkey and ham included, real mashed potatoes (not frozen), macaroni and cheese and stuffing and a pumpkin pie. I went to Superior Warehouse Grocers and found a 20lb turkey for $6, a ham for $6, a 10lb bag of potatoes for $.99, 2 cans for corn for $1, a box of stuffing for $1.29, mac & cheese $2. At Food4Less, I bought frozen Sara Lee pumpkin pie for $2.50, 2 packets of powder gravy $1 and 2 pkgs of pilsbury butter biscuits for $3. This comes to a total of $23.78. My dinner will have more food for less money, you just have to know where to look.

No matter what you write, there is always somebody who has to write a harassing comment. Why can’t people just mind their own business and accept that somebody pointed out dinner for under $25 or $75.
