Thanksgiving Cheap Eats

My food budget is almost a joke this week, but that's because it was Thanksgiving over the weekend.  Two family meals and two mothers pushing leftovers on us means that we're almost eating for free.

Lists

I've decided that I don't get to buy anything anymore that I can't prove I've given a lot of thought to.  How am I going to do that?  Lists!
