I spent more than usual this week, but I am trying to incorporate some healthier eating habits for me personally – plus I needed to spend $40 at Harris Teeter to get a cheap turkey! And I’m all about cheap turkey. 🙂 I went ahead and took advantage of some of the sales and stockpiled some items for the next couple of months. Did anyone else get a great price on turkey already?
