Nothing, I just have to show up at my aunt’s house. So I guess I’m paying whatever it costs for gas to get there (it’s about a two hour drive).

My wife just bought a Butterball at $1.99/lb, 18.5lb for $36.85, but she got $17 off with purchase of another $20 worth of food.

So $19.85/18.5 = $1.07/lb.

Nothing…not making a turkey.

We’re making a pork roast and my husband is determined to find heritage pork somewhere. I’m sure that’ll be pricey.
