ok it's working now!

Ocean Spray is having a problem with their coupon loading - I called the # on their Facebook page and they are mailing me the coupon. Unfortunately it will take 7-10 business days so I won't have it for Thanksgiving but I'll have it for Christmas. Seems kinda weird they just can't email it. If you want to call for the coupon the # is 1-800-662-3263

Has anyone been able to print the cranberry coupon on Facebook? I keep getting an error message...

Faye...Do you think this is the cheapest we will find ham's for Thanksgiving? I wouldn't think they would have a better sale next Wednesday, would they?

I am going to start a thread about the sweet potatoes so we can all share our ideas about storing and cooking the sweet taters.

pss3, they keep for about a month in a cool place (not as cold as the fridge though). I keep mine in the dark pantry in a box. Here is some info on storing them:

Like you, I plan to buy about 20 lbs. I plan to bake them and then mash them, cool them and freeze them in freezer bags. I am not going to season them until I am ready to use them. One of the articles said they will last 10 - 12 months in the freezer. You could also cut them into sweet potato fries and freeze them. I also plan to make about 5 sweet potato pies and freeze them as well after I have baked them. Here's the recipe I am planning to use:

Great questions about the sweet potatoes, pss3. I was thinking along the same lines. I know they will keep well in a dark and cool place like a cellar/basement, but I don't have anything like that. The best I've got is the pantry. Don't know if it's cool enough. I do know you need to store them away from onions and garlic.

Anyone have any good ideas for keeping sweet potatoes fresh? I would love to buy 15-20lbs worth for my family but I don't want to cook and freeze them all. How long do y'all think they would keep?

I agree Packy. Lowes is where I will do my main shop this week including picking up another turkey at .47/lb!

Looks like Lowe's has the best deals, for me, this week. Guess I'll be skipping HT till next week.
