TURKEY DAY SAVINGS!!!

I am hosting Thanksgiving Dinner at my house for 17 quests this year. Our goal was to get all the fixins for under $100. I walked out of Smiths today with everything we needed for $99.93 and that included a 20 pound turkey. I saved $60.72. I did not use one coupon as I just did not have the time this week. However, just by using the grocery smarts list and comparing what store better fit my needs I saved an average of 62%. This is a great example of what Grocery Smarts can do for you.

So are you interested in what I am serving . . . check out my menu below.

I am impressed Lisa.

I am going to try the grocery smarts lists, I think. I sort of already do that. I make my own list and then check the ads to see if there is anything I am getting on sale, and if there is something I can't pass up, that we actually use, then it goes on the list and off to Wal-mart we go to price match.

Was hoping that you would be around this neck of the woods for Thanksgiving but oh well.

Lisa -

The stuffed jalapenos from Pioneer Woman are awesome. I've made them often. Enjoy. I'm making her sweet potatoes this year. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
