Since I am the couponer in the family + I love cooking - I am issuing a challenge- How frugal can you make your Thanksgiving? I'm not talking about not having turkey or eating Spam- but how cheap can you make the dinner?
My family will be having 13 people total. My goal is to have it for under $100, with all of the food bought at Harris Teeter. That would be about $7.70 per person. Think I can do it? I'm going to try to at least get close! As we buy the things on our menu I will update with the price we paid at Harris Teeter.
Here's our menu:
Country Ham (BOUGHT- $30)
Turkey (BOUGHT- 15 cents)
stuffing (chicken stock 2 cartons 94 cents)
gravy
green beans w/ ham (BOUGHT- 3 CANS FOR 45 CENTS)
corn (BOUGHT- 3 CANS FOR 45 CENTS)
mashed potatoes (1.99 for 10 lbs of potatoes! WOW, chicken stock .47)
saurcraut (HAVE THANKS TO A CANNING NANA!)
sweet potato cassarole
honey glazed carrots
macaroni and cheese(GOT THE MACARONI NOODLES- FREE)
pumpkin pie
pecan pie
cheesecake
birthday cake (It's my twin's 3rd birthday celebration too) (BOUGHT THE MIX AND ICING- FREE)
TOTAL SO FAR; 34. 45
