I just received the grocery store advertising inserts for this week and took a quick look through them — all I can say is that things are looking pretty grim for my $1 Thanksgiving Dinner for 6 People. None of the grocery stores in my area are offering a free turkey promotion and since next…

I hope that I’m able to find a lot more deals like this in the coming weeks as this will make my job of creating a Thanksgiving meal for six people for $1.00 a lot easier. I ended up securing six packages of Pillsbury Grands biscuits for better than free at Lucky Supermarket – I…
DetailsI have decided to go very basic with the Thanksgiving menu for a number of reasons. First and foremost, this meal ultimately needs to be edible and with my panache for completely ruining meals I make, basic is good. While I do ultimately hope to make some of the food from scratch (I will try…
