You realize when they say "1 serving" on the packaging of potato chips it means something like 5 chips, right? Serving size means jack shite.

The costs of this year’s holiday feast — estimated at $58.08 for a 10-person gathering, or $5.81 a head —
bullshite.
The turkey alone for a group that size is gonna be $30

The key lime pie I just bought was $40.00. Guess that and some dressing is it for us to stay in that cost estimate.

Bitch my turkey was free
With the purchase of a 30 dollar ham that probably normally costs 20 and 25 dollars in other groceries

My wife decided we needed an organic turkey($65), “because you don’t know where the others come from.”
Tell her they all come from here

Your math sucks.
Youre not feeding 10 people on that.
You are not feeding 10 people with a fricking 15 pound turkey alone??? No, you are correct, you are not feeding 15 fat arse motherfrickers with severe eating disorders but here in the real world 15 pounds of fresh whole turkey will render about 10 pounds of actualy edible turkey which is in and of itself would be about 800 calories per person for one meal.
800 calories for a pound of fricking turkey.
360 calories for the stuffing
140 for the mashed potatoes
80 for the roll
30 for the green beans (a cup by the way, heaping pile of green fricking beans)
20 for the gravy
370 for the pie
a 1700 calorie meal for 10 people for less than $5 a person. I can't help it if 1700 calories for one meal is not enough for you you fat frick, think about a salad sometime.....no wonder you stay so angry all the time-fat fricks tend to be angry that way. Most men, depending on their age and lfiestyle, need about 2500 calories a day to sustain their body weight. This under $5 meal would be 68% of that or better than 2/3s of caloric intake requirements a day...in one fricking meal.

You need to go rub one out or something?

The most hilarious part of this guy's melt is that he thinks a 15lb turkey is going to yield 10 pounds worth of meat

yes I do realize this....we are talking about a fricking 15 pound turkey split 10 ways. It would be about 800 calories or a fricking pound of turkey per person. I know most Americans are gluttons but the sub $5 meal proposed includes 1/5th of an entire pumpkin pie, a cup of green beans, nearly a 1/2 cup of stuffing, nearly a cup of mashed potatoes, a roll, and nearly a 1/3 cup of frickiing gravy to flood it with. Thats a heaping pile of food for even a fat fricker in dire need of weight loss surgery but you know what, double everything but the turkey and pie ration...it would cost $4.50 per person and would provide them with more than 2000 calories in one fricking meal! Double the turkey and the pie ration and it runs it up to about $6.50 a person....and would be more than 3000 calories. For one fricking meal.
The base meal, without any doubling down, is calorically the same as eating nearly 96% of.....wait for it.....3 fricking big macs from McDolnalds. If 3 fricking big macs is not a meal for anyone they have a fricking problem....

I don’t know shite about turkey, but Google says a 15 lb turkey would give you more like 6 lbs of usable meat.
Add $4.26 for butter and a couple bucks for milk for your stuffing and potatoes if you want the calorie counts that high. Otherwise the stuffing is like 100 cal per serving.
I’m not arguing. You can clearly throw together a school cafeteria-style meal with what you’ve listed and hopefully have whatever seasonings needed to make turkey taste good already on hand.

You need to do a better job of picking restaurants to eat at if the ones you’re going to are serving you meals from a box
Show me the restaurant where your thanksgiving dinner costs less than $5 and I will show you a restaurant which is serving you shite out of a box

Thanksgiving Day meal is not a normal sized meal, not sure why you're trying to die on this hill.

Yeah, my arse. Inflation has dropped about as far down as Kamala after a cocaine spike.

Butterball claims about 20-30% loss or 3-5 pounds.
If you put $4 worth of butter in and $2 worth of milk in any of the items I included you would have about 10 times more of both than needed. I think my original list of prices included some money for miscl shite but no, if you did not have ANYTHING to cook with AND did not plan on keeping anything after the fact your price for the meal described would be slightly higher, probably around $6 a person.
Edited to add - the original menu and price included nearly 30% for miscleaneous ingredients. Without those the cost is about $2.70 a person.
