Since this fine tradition began we feel the need to stuff our faces with excessive amounts of turkey, potatoes, and pie. To think to actually not spend over $400 for a one day holiday just is uncanny! Well this is my first year of couponing and I figured why not go for the gusto and save BIG. Well I gave myself a budget, and a mindset not to go hog-wild [which of course I do!!!] Luckily Dad found organic free raged turkeys! So hey the big part of my budget is now gone. BTW THANKS DAD!
Since I am a perfectionist by nature, and a bit eccentric it has to be perfect right! Every year I set myself up for this perfect scenario, and I fall face first into a mound of mashed potatoes. It never fails. I bake the pies fresh, and do most things from scratch. To be honest there is only so much room in my kitchen four burners and two stove racks. This year is my first year doing things a bit differently. I bought two pies [don’t faint], and instead of all fresh veggies I found those lovely steam packed veggies at 50% at Publix. Now I feel relaxed and this year I will enjoy it instead of biting off more than I can chew….I think?
