[QUOTE="T. MIKE SMITH, post: 4248109, member: 44552"] I agree turkeys are cheap and I like it, but you have to mix it up and not have it every meal- there are a lot of things you can make and not spend much. What you cannot do is order out or get fast food all the time. We have grandkids who have 4 kids. They both work and I get it meals are a hassle. but they eat out or deliver almost every meal. It's $70-80 bucks to feed this bunch with Mcdonalds delivered. Sandwiches with variety and can sodas/chips would be 1/4 as much. Pork is reasonable and on sale a lot- whole pork butt runs $10-12 and can be cooked in a crock pot - shredded with some BBQ to make pull pork sandwiches on store brand buns. Even 10# tubes of hamburger have been as low as $2.50 a lb at Crest. Just cut patties or go ahead and cook up 3-4 lbs - make some taco and some spaghetti out of some. Buy store brands and go to places like Dollar Tree to get spices- ketchup- mustard- pasta and a lot of stuff cheap. They have some cheap brands but they also have good brands to. You can get ranch dressing mix in a 4 pack there for $1.25- store brand at Walmart is 50-70 cents an envelope. All spices are $1.25 there.
