Thanksgiving Week, Including Thanksgiving Dinner: $70

I am very proud of myself this week! Dave and I are eating for a full week, including feeding seven people Thanksgiving dinner, for only $70! To make this happen, before Thanksgiving we are eating vegetarian meals, but that is okay. Experts say that periodically eating vegetarian is very good for you.
