the day before Thanksgiving

bfast- grits, freebie donuts and fudge from Babylon, coffee
lunch- leftover pasta and turkey sauce. water bottle
dinner, chili burritos, water

....or as I like to call it, Bountiful Harvest day.
The original price $30 turkey was harvested from a clearance rack at the grocers last July (for $7) and stored in the deep freeze. The veggies were brought home from the Sprouts a few weeks ago ($15) and stored in the indoor/outdoor root cellar. The onions, beets, and other disposable veggies were scavenged from the excess bins (FREE) at the back door of Safieway. The herbs for the meal are being grown organically at the 'stead and are doing just fine.

Yes we did have to make a run to the front door market last night for a few essentials. 5 dozen eggs, day old bread for stuffing, assorted dairy products, etc. But the cost for it all came to less than 70 bucks. And that is with some essential stuff for the animals (parrot seed, dog food, hot cheetos).
I will be off from Babylon the next cuppla days so will prob post more..
