Listen, I know I can be an elitist sometimes, but I occasionally shop at Walmart. But regardless of how good the deals are, how could any, or all, of the merchadise inside a Wal-mart be worth the life of a single person?

Every Thanksgiving, I plan my family's meal with the intention of having leftovers. It's not just a matter of avoiding waste, though. I've found that a lot of leftover meals _ including tasty turkey sandwiches and potato patties — are surprisingly cheap, especially when you factor in all the heavy work has already been done. Depending on how big your turkey is, though, you may want more than just one leftover option — after a few big Thanksgivings, I've come to the conclusion that every cook should have plenty of leftover options.

It crept up on you, didn't it? You lifted your head up from the work-a-day grindstone, and there it was. Thanksgiving. Staring you right in the face. Grocery prices are up, you're completely out of time to plan, and people are starting to hint that they are expecting you to host something. You need to pull off a major holiday. On a budget. Would I let you down?
