We just purchased our turkeys for next week
On sale at cub they were $.89 a pound
We bought three turkeys
One 20 pound bird
Two 12 pound birds
We like to smoke ... The birds, not cigarettes .... not the wacky tobacci either
That alone is a jumped $.30 a pound!
I'd like to know what their portion sizes are
Because we regularly pay over $100 to feed 20 people
That does not include the food that other people bring
I'm sorry but there is no way you can put on a Thanksgiving meal for $49.41 for 10 people
That's ridiculous… Milk in and of itself is over $3 a gallon!
They must be figuring everyone is going to eat only 4 ounces of meat (one quarter pound) .... In my family, we eat at least a pound of meat each
They must figure one sweet potato per person… In my family we eat at least two if not three sweet potatoes each

Wait –
3 pounds of sweet potatoes is going to feed 10 people?!
No way!
They either have very small sweet potatoes, or they are mashing them and then adding in cream and butter and what have you to fluff it up
Even then though – I cannot see 3 pounds of sweet potatoes feeding 10 people!
A 16 pound bird, H MMM MM MMM
That sounds like they are planning about a pound per person (and that's assuming 6 pounds of bone)
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Nope
Even if everything is made from scratch
Cannot see it coming in for $49 and cents
