Going to a penny sale tonight to try and win Thanksgiving dinner

[edjr 5,552]

Why buy it when you can win it cheap!  

Sit around with a bunch of old people and play bingo for food. 

I remember a time in my life I thought 25 was old

Turkeys are pretty cheap anyways. Especially when you consider how many meals you get out of that bird. Now a Prime Rib dinner (been having them for xmas dinner the past few years), I'd enter a raffle for.

Be a real man and go to a shotgun shoot and win the meat.

I don't get the can't afford turkey thing either. News media act like they are a 1,000 plus for one. Tops $55 and only bought once a year. C-mon man really need to make this much crying over a turkey that maybe twice as much as last year ? Not to mention a good bit of America is on food stamps and still can afford one.

 We had a radio station here that would do an on air event on thanksgiving morning. Bowling for turkeys. They’d set the pins up in the mall parking lot with an actual lane. You got one roll with a frozen twenty pound turkey to get a strike, and you win that turkey. Very fun to watch as there would be couple hundred participants and it was all free. My brother CP always won one. I think I won one once. We donated ours to the local vets shelter. Good times.

No you shoot at a target with shotguns and they give away meat to the winners. Animals already pre killed like in the supermarket.

Too bad they filled the dark meat portion with 37 rounds because they feared for their life.
