Thanksgiving dinner revisted

Since Kyle and I went home for thanksgiving, I decided to remake thanksgiving dinner for him this weekend. He loves thanksgiving and the leftovers which we did not get this year. Our local grocery stores were pretty competitive with Turkey deals before thanksgiving so we ended up getting 2 11lb birds for $.39/lb!

I made a shopping trip before we left to get the thanksgiving food deals so this is what we had:

11 lb turkey $4.55
bag of potatoes $1.99
6 cans of green beans $2.34
2 cans of cream of mushroom $.50
1 can of french fried onions $.75
Hawaiian rolls $2.50
stuffing $.99
bag of carrots $1.00
quart of half and half $1.19
frozen peas $.69

Total = $16.50

We will have leftovers tomorrow and Monday. Plus I made 2 turkey pot pies (each one should last for 2 meals) and froze them for dinners later. This means we have 7 meals for about $2.35 a piece!
