The American Farm Bureau Federation says the cost of a typical Thanksgiving dinner is 5% lower this year than last. Was that true for you?

We have another family coming to our house. There will be 4 of them and us 2. for a total of of 6. They are bringing the mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. WE were given a wild turkey breast and we bought a small ham. I have made 3 pies and will make corn and dressing and gravy. The only things I had to buy were the ham, rolls, celery, and whipped cream. I made a jello salad and a freezer salad and we had all the ingredients in our freezer or pantry. It is so sad to hear people talk about how much they spend for groceries . We buy every thing on sale and we know how to store our food until we need it. We spend about $125.00 a month and some times less. We also entertain and make meals for families in our church who are in need.
