What is on your frugal Thanksgiving menu?
If you don't already have your Thanksgiving menu planned, now is the time to pull it all together. Thankfully, we have had so many good deals on traditional holiday foods that it should be easy to provide a bountiful feast for a reasonable cost. Please share your Thanksgiving menu or favorite dish! I have also included our menu and the recipe for one of my most requested side dishes.
