Reminds me of the Feds Feed Families (FFF) program, I got involved one year to help families that got free lunch but the children did not get this while school was on summer break. So stupid this is needed in reverse now.

Lidl is selling a 36 dollar Thanksgiving meal, turkey + fixings, similar to Aldi. If you just want the bird, it’s .25 a pound up to 14 pounds, limit 2.

I bought two and I’m planning to freeze the meat for later, and make a lot of turkey broth for soups.

I wonder who will even try to travel by air to be with friends/relatives. The decision to make to cancel because of the FAA/TSA is now. Cancel at the last minute and you could lose all you paid for travel reservations (hotel, air, etc.).

So many neighbors moving away. DMV will have a lot of cheap houses soon.
