Jeffrey Strain who writes a blog on ways to save money is attempting what we think is impossible – feeding a family of 6 people on $1. In the United States Of America. Jeffrey did make it through May surviving on less than a dollar a day, but let’s see what he can do for the country’s biggest food fest:
Strain is obligated to get all the goodies needed for a complete Thanksgiving dinner, including rolls, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, vegetables, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce and, of course, the turkey. Oh, and all the butter, salt, pepper, onions and celery needed to season, spice and flavor the dishes. He’s off to a good start. About 10 days ago, he managed to get free stuffing and gravy after he found a coupon at Safeway offering $5 off his next purchase.
Now, he’s set his sights on nabbing a free turkey and hopes to take advantage of a promotion that offers a free turkey in exchange for buying $100 worth of food. “I hope to use coupons to get the $100 worth of groceries for free and the turkey on top of it,” he said. “Of course, some places offer free turkeys if you, say, take a test drive in one of their cars, so that’s an option too.”
Wouldn’t want to be in line behind this guy at the supermarket, but it would actually be pretty cool if he can pull this off.

Hey I’m with him on this……I’ve started clipping coupons and getting digital coupons. I saved $20 the other day on my grocery bill. Wasting money is out – what’s hot is saving all we can!
Saving money is always a smart move. But knowing how to make more money off of the money that you have saved is what will lead to accumulating real wealth.
Being poor and broke can be fun when you make a game out of it. They’re preparing you for hard times. Get used to third world America. The media uses people like this to condition you to accept sub standard positions.
jesus you are a retart the media shows people what it thinks will attract viewers.
You’re a “retard” for not knowing how to spell it
