Apparently a head charge for attending Grandma’s Thanksgiving dinner is now trending.
Lmao y’all really don’t understand this $30 thanksgiving plate thing. My aunt charges us and cooks everything and we just eat.

Some have given this idea a thumbs down but it looks like up-votes are trending among progressives. They say it’s not fair for one family to do all the work and pay all the freight; they think everyone should contribute. Too bad they don’t feel that way about taxes.
If they treated Thanksgiving the way they treat taxes your rich uncle would pay 80% of the cost of the meal (plus processing and handling), you and your hardworking middle class cousins would split the other 20% and your deadbeat relatives would each receive a “refundable credit” of $10 just for showing up. Because, you know, from each according to their means…
Oh, and I almost forgot: your deadbeat relatives won’t be required to help with the cleanup because that would be demeaning; they’ll be in the living room watching the Lions lose. The rest of you: get cranking, those pots aren’t going to scrub themselves.

My cousin is stingy. One small turkey.
You get 1 thin slice of turkey and no vegetables. No gravy as they fry the bird. I would buy gravy at Marie Calendars. I have offered to bring more turkey but am turned down.
Swanson tv dinner offers more.
Woo hoo! Just added up all the T-day ingredients (down to the eggs, onions, flour, sage) and rounded it up a couple dollars for incidental stuff (salt, pepper, butter) for a grand total of $27. Ended up with just a 19 pound Honeysuckle turkey for .68/lb and sweet potatoes for .20/lb.
Gobble, gobble, y’all!
Very nice. I prefer to spend my money on an organic or free range or most preferable, a kosher bird. They have much better flavor than Butterball or Tyson or Perdue - which I wouldn’t let in my house. Of course, I’m dining out this year. Can’t wait.
