  • Hey, y’all! Times are tough, and wages haven’t kept up with inflation skyrocketing. This year, extreme budgeting for Thanksgiving Dinner is more important than ever. The average meal for a family of four can cost over $43-an amount many Americans can’t afford. So, I challenged myself to put together a Thanksgiving meal from Walmart for just $20, and guess what? I did it! That’s under $5 per person! Don’t miss out-like, subscribe, and join me to see how it’s done!

    I got a almost 12 lb whole Turkey for $10
    Kroger had their Turkey for $0.79 lb
    Cranberry sauce was $0.99
    Yams were $0.29 lb got 4 large yams 🍠 for $1
    A free bag of green beans, I had gotten a large bag of 8 lbs. potatoes for $2.99
    I had so much turkey and potatoes left for more meals. I did use butter and sugar, I had already, I made gravy from turkey drippings. I made a desert for $3.25, chocolate pudding, $0.99, cool whip, $1.25 and a cream cheese bar,$0.99, I had flour and powered sugar, 1/2 cup pecans already.

      Yes, to a small whole turkey, bagged potatoes and we're having homemade rolls. There would be giblets in the turkey for gravy using the drippings. Also use the drippings in a cornbread stuffing. Boil the carcass for stock and pick off all the meat for more meals.
      Yes, to fresh yams because Bruce's canned has more liquid than yams so you're paying for that. I froze the 22 oz (grrr) of yam liquid from the last 40 oz can I'm ever going to buy. It will be subbed for water to reconstitute powdered milk that will be made into yogurt and the yogurt made into an 8x8" crustless cheesecake (no need for cream cheese or other) for $1.50. Or elevate it with leftover crumbled bacon and free orange zest = $2.25. Zest all citrus, air dry it on a saucer on the counter and never have to buy any.

    Even with a Small Whole Turkey, You could Make a Soup, Turkey Noodle Casserol and/or Open Turkey Sandwiches. A few dollare more can get you several more meals. Just a Thought!

      I did see a small whole Turkey Fresh Thanksgiving day for.$12.50. I needed to be used by that day it was about 10 lbs ut that was that same day and you would have to freeze it or use it on Thanksgiving day but you could cook it have leftovers and freeze some too

    This is the very first video I watched of yours and I really was impressed. You did an awesome job on it. I love videos like this I love seeing what creativity we can put in our kitchen and add some great meals without spending a ton of money I do have a budget probably bigger than most. It’s $150 a week for groceries. Sometimes we spend less and sometimes we spend more if I find some bargains I’ll stock up for the pantry. On my videos on Friday. They’re prepping the pantry and emergency food. Like you I just want to be able to go into my pantry grab some thing to make meals without keeping my grocery bill in check. It’s amazing what you can put together if you have just a few basic items in your pantry.

    Don’t forget, many grocery stores give a free turkey this time of year, with loyalty points or whatever. If you get that, just make some potatoes,open a few cans of vegetables make gravy from the drippings. Very low cost.

    Budget is best! I gather my Thanksgiving Supplies months in advance, using sales to get the best bargain. By November I have everything, and it gives me more to spend on Turkey, I get the Carnita Turkey from Albertsons Deli, and freeze it a month before Thanksgiving, by Nov 23rd I have everything I need, and I save big money.

    Oh Lord it’s all carbs! Listen, for 4 people shopping Walmart grab a rotisserie chicken instead of turkey. A generic box of stuffing mix, frozen broccoli ( whichever is cheapest) gravy mix. A pie. Done. Just make sure there’s a green vegetable if you don’t like broccoli.
