| [timestamps on utoob] ALL TOLD THIS MEAL [Pic2] including :: the cinnamon rolls in Pic1 [baked up first to snack on while cooking] &the pie in Pic6 &excluding :: cookware [minus the enormous turkey roasting pan, which we now know to be reusable!] salt &pepper garlic, onions &various spices [cause we cook all the time, so we did not have to buy these things for this meal] &the cost of electrcity etc. COST $64.00 [each item rounded up to the nearest dollar, along with the total] we are grocery-store jobbers &so this year we could stack multiple coupons that totaled 70% off a turkey if we bought our company's brand etc. &we got a 15.5-pound bird at $2.99/lb for $7.22 so about $55 bucks for all the other stuff &if we had had to pay the full price for the bird the cost would've been $95 [a meal much closer to $100 than $50] but it didn't lol &with a $35 daily grocery budget [here in honolulu] whichever way you slice it twas an affordable meal [of classics-only] especially since the food will easily last three days of main meals [one hopes] etc. last year thebodybuddy/lifemate was given a free turkey from the union of which he is a part *blech* no such luck this year those cheap-ass motherfuckers |
