Thanksgiving Price List

 
If you are hosting Thanksgiving you're probably going to be doing your shopping this weekend.  Here is a run down of the pricing of some common Thanksgiving foods in their ads so you can decide which store near you has the best prices:
 
Aldi
(Quick funny story about Aldi... the first time I went there I knew it was all cash, but that's all I knew about it.  So I walk inside to look for a cart, they are no where to be found.  I go back out to the parking lot to see if there is a cart corral full of carts... nope.  Then I see a whole gathering of carts.  Triumphant, I walk over to grab a cart... but I can't get it away from the pack.  It was dark, so I didn't see that you had to put a quarter in the cart to get it loose.  So I stand there fighting with the cart for probably a whole minute, until I see someone return a cart and take their quarter out.  Then it all came together for me...  I seriously must have given the other shoppers a good show!)
