"Mostly carbs" is pretty much Thanksgiving. π
Fuck Walmart.
Is this an ad?
Dafuq is this?
Are you familiar with my posts here? And how I include the price per person with almost every post? And how it's uncommon for them to get anywhere near $4 per person? It's not an ad. It's a comparison.
Never heard of ya
That's understandable. Did my explanation make the context of the post more clear?
Including fresh cranberries and canned green beans is just evil.
Canned green beans are evil by themselves.
Yeah, I actually like both canned cranberry sauce and homemade cranberry relish (from fresh cranberries), but the latter is definitely an acquired taste. You can obviously make a sauce from fresh cranberries that tastes like the canned version, but I imagine itβs a lot of work/time on a burner (though you definitely donβt have to do this day of, and itβs probably even better a few days after you make it), probably similar to making jam out of other berries, just without the gelling agent.
Canned green beans somehow taste like salt and overcooked green bell peppers without the charm.
Because you don't like either, or because you do like fresh cranberries and feel the green beans should have got the same attention?
That looks pretty reasonable, for a whole turkey and pie fixings. Good on them to make Thanksgiving more accessible and affordable.
It's a PR stunt. Walmart pays starvation wages and has more employees on government food assistance than any other company in America.
To expand on that, if you arenβt purchasing from Walmart, youβre effectively losing money every day. Not only are they bankrupting you through government subsidies funneling your money to them, theyβre hurting people to do it.
That turkey is one that was deceased and has no legs. Sometimes the legs π are removed and discarded, sometimes only one leg is infected and therefore the other leg is amputated and sold separately in pairs or in bulk to carnivals or other events where turkeys legs are sold.
This basically is a breast only turkey and most likely 55% of the budget.
The rest is can and processed garbage usually nobody actually buys, except for the 3-4 dollar bag of potatoes.
Believe Aldi has something similar right now
I've got this beat, since Thanksgiving dinner for me is usually a sandwich in the cab of the combine. I might see if I can roast a turkey on the top of the turbocharger.
With some patience, I'm sure you could. Those things do get damn hot.
I have so many questions
Does it contain a radioactive turkey?
