I just spent almost 50 bucks on a TURKEY (and it was 16 pounds--so not like a huge bird) happy thanksgiving exit. enjoy your party--

Wow that's one expensive bird. Years ago when I started doing T-Day I would go to the butcher and get an expensive bird I recall $3.00+ per lb.Last year got a Shadybrook frozen one (shhh don't tell my mother) and could not tell the difference. This year bagged one on sale for .29 a pound!

Loria, yes, it's the NY'er in you b/c those prices are high to me :)

And a beach party with hot dogs...that sounds wonderful! We were in the 70s the other day and now it's cold and rainy :(
