Dear reader, I’m about to share one of my favorite frugal tips.
This is the week to elevate grocery shopping to an art form. Groceries stores around the country are enticing you to spend money with them by selling turkeys at a loss. Play the game! Fill your freezer! I will purchase a year’s worth of turkeys (4-6) this week at 23¢ a pound. Staples like chicken broth, olives, sugar, and flour are usually greatly reduced. I plan to spend more time studying the ads and shopping; more money on groceries this week, but, oh!, the joy of bargain purchases is exhilirating. I am my father’s daughter, eh Danny?

This is the time of year that I stock up on my year-supply of instant pudding (for making frog-eye salad), cranberry sauce (ah–cranberry chicken), brown sugar, chocolate chips, turkey, etc. Yes, it is fun, fun, fun.
