How I Fed My Family a Simple Turkey Dinner for $1

To celebrate New Years Day I decided to cook one of the turkey's I had in the freezer from the Thanksgiving turkey deals and as I cooked the meal I realized that with everything I used for the meal I spent just a $1 to make the meal!

Here's what we had:

• 12 lb Turkey - I paid .03 for it on this shopping trip and use a stick of this free butter to keep him juicy = .03
• Mashed potatoes - I used about 1/3 of the bag that I paid $1 for on this shopping trip = .33
• Gravy - I made the gravy from scratch and used Free Butter, Free Flour and Free Progresso Broth = FREE
• Fresh steamed Broccoli & Cauliflower Medley - I used 1/2 of each head that I had already cut up and prepared. I paid .98 for both heads from this deal = .49
• Crescent Rolls - Free after a catalina deal (right before I started this blog so I don't have a link) - FREE
• Cup of Applesauce - my littlest guy is a very picky eater so he just had turkey (which we told him was chicken) and applesauce so I'll add in .15 for the cup = .15

Total - $1.00!

Just wanted to share so that you can see you can still eat well for a bargain!
