Here’s a useful Excel sheet you can use to calculate how much stuff you’ll need to buy for Thanksgiving… Spacejockey writes – “Shopping calculator that will present a complete Thanksgiving shopping list, and how much to cook of each menu item, after just entering a few variables.” – Link.
I happen to have Excel on this computer, but it should work in OpenOffice too… Oh, also check out our DIY Thanksgiving post – Link.










It doesn’t seem to count kids differently than adults.
Love the story!

More for the adults!
This doesn’t count kids differently than adults…some kids eat more than I do, and some eat less! If you have light-eating kids, the calculator will comfortably handle decimals. For example, I’d enter 2.5 to feed two adults and a picky 8-year-old.
Also: if you are “cooking challenged” and would like to get the recipes that go with the calculator, visit the original post at christine.net. Feel free to make interesting barter offers.
Happy Thanksgiving!
