After Thanksgiving Deals

Just yesterday I was asked for tips on making the budget stretch. I'm so happy to see so many wives trying to stretch the budget for their families. One step at a time, it can be done!

Today, my suggestion would be to check out the deals for the 'leftovers' from Thanksgiving. Yesterday I bought 3 turkeys at .36#. As far as I know, there is NEVER meat, of any kind, for that price. I've got 2 in the freezer now and one in the oven. The one I'm baking, I plan to cut up, putting the whole breasts in the freezer for suppers, and cutting up all the rest of the meat into smaller packages, ready for lunch meat, casseroles, enchiladas, etc. I'll boil up the carcass and put the broth in the freezer ready for a big pot of soup on a snowy day. ( should we be so blessed...)

Watch for cranberries, canned or fresh sweet potatoes, rolls ( which freeze well!) pumpkin ( great for pancakes, too!) stuffing mix. Time to stock up on all of these. Figure out how much of each you could use in the next 6 months and buy that amount.

  1. I'm hoping to get a turkey on sale. Excited because I have a $2 off Butterball coupon, and our local grocery store has been giving .50-1.00 off coupons for a turkey with receipts for the last month, so I should be able to get a least a few dollars off! :)
