Went and threw down about a thousand bucks a costco. $400 would buy the equivalent amount of stuff in the states. Meat was about a quarter of that, including a $30 turkey weighing in at 13#. Later in the day, I saw a 24 pounder going for $100 at another store (this is already translated to US$ folks...a hunnerd bucks for a frozen turkey...). Went to another place to get the rest of the supplies for thanksgiving and tossed down a couple hundred more. (canned cranberry sauce for $5 each, canned yams for $3.50 each, sour cream for $8 a pint...too expensive). I read somewhere that this year's average spread for 10 people was avg about $46...about 6-8x that here for 7 of us. Not all of today's shopping was for turkey day, catching up on some other stuff too.
Came home, cut up the meat into meal sized portions, wrapped it and froze it. Made a french onion soup, picked up DD from the school bus stop 2 miles away, came back home, ate my soup, playing online now.
