36 0|0|Good news, bad news, My DS is a chip off the old block when it comes to helping others...the kind of bad news, I have 15-20 unexpected houseguests, in addition to family for Thanksgiving....:)|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|21:17:16|11/13/2010|
DS had a few friends that weren't going home for Thanksgiving for various reasons( some are out of state and can't afford the trip home and back and some had family unexpectedly going out of state as well) and he invited them to our house. Word spread and I believe we are at 15-20.
Good thing I have three empty bedrooms. I hope the turkey wars start real soon here. I have stockpiles, but with 20 college boys, I am going to be Mother Hubbard's cupboard after two days and they are here for three as the college is closed for three days.
Yikes :)

Send me a coupon wishlist, and I can send some to you....I also have a B1G1F IP coupon if you can use it! :) I dont have any winetags right now, used up the last of them that expired in Oct.....but feel free to send me a list!!|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|22:01:57|11/13/2010|
" You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless it was mailed."
7|4|Joy, I don't really have a wishlist yet.I literally just got the official text a bit ago. I will have to make one. Anything that is food or Thanksgiving food that I can get cheap is good.|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|22:14:08|11/13/2010|
Luckily, I have freezer full of rolls, boxes of Chex cereal to make chex mix, a stockpile of canned vegetables.
I am focused on Thanksgiving, but its the other two days that scare me :) I am hoping there are some leftovers from Thanksgiving to help a bit.
These boys can eat and an hour later they are hungry, lol.
editing to add I can use IP coupons.

I think we are going to order a family meal this year. A few local stores offer them.... But if we do have him this week, Jeromys mom will be here for Thanksgiving and maybe she and Jeromy can make dinner... The plan had been to come hom on Thanksgiving so an early birth will free up some time that day. I guess we shall see. We have until the 21st to place our order.

17|1|Target has some Thanksgiving food cheap with... |jdlaurie|savethosepennies@aol.com|14:16:49|11/14/2010|
coupons.
For instance:
The Kraft Stove Top stuffing is on sale for .79, there is a .50/2 target printable and a $1/2 manufacturer printable out.
The Heinz homestyle gravy is .79 and there is a printable for like $1/3.
There is Campbells cream of mushroom soup on sale for .50 a can -- there is a $1.50/3 printable coupon that would make them free!
Delmonte canned vegetables are .45 each -- think the green beans for the Green bean casserole. You could make a really cheap one or ten-- depending on how many you need LOL!
Turkeys are .68 per lb. but I think they wil probably be cheaper somewhere else.
The above coupons would be great for you if you could find them and use them at target.
Just some ideas. I'm having a last minute birthday party today. My husband and my brother both have a 11/14 birthday. So I just threw together a cake this morning and picked up a bunch of stuff for a few people to come over... and the party just doubled in size. We are going to be having whatever I can find today! I bought 3 packages of hamburgers and had 2 of the hotdogs already here... but I don't think that will be enough now! We might be having some chicken as well! LOL

18|1|Note to self: that's a great time to ship DH to Lisa's house.. she won't even notice!|sunriver|sunriver@gmail.com|15:44:23|11/14/2010|
Actually it sounds like fun! It's so great of your family to do that!
Let everyone help! Especially with clean up!
I would also probably set up several buffet type meals. Maybe one giant meal each day and then let everyone eat what they need to eat as they get hungry (and let them all fix it too!)
23|2|Vanessa, you're right, I wouldn't notice. My own DH reminds me this morning, "you do recall I am LEAVING the morning after Thanksgiving." I totally forgot about that. He is leaving to go fish in Canada. So, I have recruited my Sister to come help me out.|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|18:27:48|11/14/2010|

Borrowed crockpots. Borrowed a bbq as DH bbq's the turkey and we need one bbq for each turkey.|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|18:32:13|11/14/2010|
Came up with a menu of
Dinners:
Thanksgiving dinner...turkey and all the trimmings.
Spaghetti dinner with homemade bread from bread machine
Crockpots of Chili with cornbread.
Breakfasts:
Going to get eggs and bacon (from Costco)
Have tons of cereal. Have sweets.
Have various desserts I can make.
Lunches will consist of sandwiches...grilled cheese, p&j, egg salad, tuna fish.
and leftovers if possible
Still thinking, trying to be totally prepared.
Any suggestions welcome:)
