Make Thanksgiving dinner for $3 per person
EUGENE, Ore. -- Want to make Thanksgiving dinner for $3 per person?
Here's how:
Check your recipes. Make a list and buy only what you need at discount prices.
"I was recently laid off," said Michael Bloss, a shopper at Grocery Outlet. "We still want to have Thanksgiving with our friends, and we were able to get what we needed in one go here."
With a specific menu, you can serve six people turkey, gravy, stuffing, cranberries, rolls mashed potatoes, carrots and pie for $18 -- just $3 per person.
On the ingredients list, there are items you are expected to already have at home like salt, pepper, cider vinegar and a lemon.
And $3 per person does not include wine. Look for inexpensive imports from Italy, South Africa and Argentina.
If you'd rather do your shopping at your regular grocery store, keep this money saving tip in mind: potluck is in again. Ask guests to bring something to share.
