GCC Shopping Round Up

Ok....so I planned and doubled my grocery budget for Thanksgiving. I knew it was coming...I knew what I was going to spend...I think I did a good job. But wow, what a shocker when you're handing over the cash. It disappeared before my very eyes. I'm really looking forward to all the goodies though. I also managed to get another giant sale turkey for a freakishly low price. I now have two turkey's in my freezer. It makes me so happy.

:-) It cracks me up that less than $100 feels like a splurge for you when most people struggle to get to that number on a weekly basis with less than 6 people in their family. It just goes to show what a good job you do every week! Enjoy the feast!

Great job!

I have two turkeys in my freezer too! I got a store brand 12 lb turkey for under $5 and a 10 1/2 lb butterball turkey for under $8! :) I was happy!

I got some other things too that should last me now for a couple of weeks aside from getting some milk!

I think that it's crazy what you guys spend on Turkey...Our Turkey's here in Canada would be about $32.00 for that same Turkey..I need to go to the U.S. to buy my Turkeys.
