[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea but considering I can't figure out how to cook regular dinner for 2 adults and a toddler for less than $50, I'm pretty sure I'm hundreds over the national average. [/quote]

Me again. Grand total was $600 for 4 adults and a toddler. Wine not included. I don't even know how this is possible. [/quote]

:shock:  What in the world did you buy?  [/quote]

I don't even know but somehow that's the total. I shop at whole foods, balduccis and the organic butcher, so clearly that's my problem. I also bought almost all organic bc I'm pregnant and made everything from scratch bc I've had problems with prepared food and illness. [/quote]

Did you buy the pots to cook your food in?  I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just really curious as to how you managed to arrive at a total like that. How much was your turkey?[/quote]

Haha! No, I already owned the pots, but that would certainly make me feel better about the total! The turkey breast was $65 and the ham was $40. DH and I did a whole foods run on Tuesday for $250. On Wed, DH hit balduccis for the rest of the stuff and spent another $250. Then, he went to the organic butcher for the turkey. The best part of spending all this $$ is that our 2 adult guests fell ill, so all that food for 2 adults and a toddler. We might freeze the ham for christmas but we have an insane amount of turkey in the fridge. I always over shop, I have a chronic fear of running out of food. [/quote]
