For years, I’ve suggested steak, baked potato and salad for Thanksgiving and Christmas instead of turkey and 37 different sides. It would be so much easier, cost less and taste so much better. My family looks at me like I’m wearing a MAGA cap every year when I suggest it!

Steak for Valentine’s Day is perfect!

Usual Thanksgiving dinner, perhaps pared down and the men grill steaks for Christmas!

Best of both worlds, because I love Thanksgiving food, especially the dressing and cranberry!

Watch the supermarket flyers!

Beef can be put on sale! Last week NY sirloin $7.99/lb

Please look at my posts on the Cooking & Baking forum, a LOT of them
particularly my "Cooking On Pennies" series, may be of
some small help in stretching your food dollars....and having
good food every night.
