Sorry, wallyworld, that doesn't seem like much for $20. Convenience foods isn't really what I think of when I think of Thanksgiving.

While I like Stove Top as much as the next person, I wouldn't buy my desserts ready-made, and I won't be serving canned veggies either. Plus, how much are you charging for this stuff??? A 12-lb turkey at .40/lb = $4.80.
