Thanksgiving is coming up next week! Can you believe it? Neither can I!
If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner, it can be an expensive affair. I know I usually spend between $70-$100 on food when I host. Well, Walmart challenged me to buy a Thanksgiving dinner for under $40. I was skeptical. But I grabbed my Walmart gift card and hit the store. Here’s what I got.

I didn’t realize how expensive a nice Thanksgiving dinner could be. Canned veggies aren’t so appetizing, so going for the frozen or fresh…yeah. Expensive! We usually do potlucks and that’s cheaper for everyone.
