- As we gear up for Thanksgiving, we discuss the amount of hard work and money it costs to put together that special dinner, but what if the host asks you to pitch in a few bucks? Would you do it? Plus, we challenge our viewers to “ruin Thanksgiving in four words” and we take part ourselves.

#thanksgiving #turkey #turkeyday - Розваги
I think it’s ok to pay lol with a dish, side, or dessert! My mom always taught me don’t show up to anyone’s house empty handed, even if it’s just a 6-pack or a cheap bottle of wine.
At most being able to word
Anyone who has actually hosted Thanksgiving knows it’s about $500 on the low end. You have to be completely selfish to show up to someone home empty handed during the holidays.
Not to mention, the prep starts weeks before…cooking begins 2-3 days prior.
That is so true.
Literally spent 300 dollars grocery shopping today on thanksgiving groceries alone 😂😭
$500 no mam me and my sis hosting and we already in $800 and that's mostly on meat
My family all pitches in for the holidays. We are feeding 30+ people it gets expensive
Adrienne’s face when Jennie asked about the stuffing, she was so offended 😂
This gives me a great idea to pitch to my mother to keep relatives we don't wanna see out 😅
Haaaa
😂
I agree with Jeannie & Adrienne ! My great aunt has hosted thanksgiving & she’s on a fixed income now that she’s retired so we bring paper plates, side dishes, rolls, sweet tea etc. & we all help with the groceries/ clean up! It’s thanksgiving! Love and help one another ❤️
I’m 53 and have spent my last 7 thanksgivings alone!It sucks!So this was so fun to watch!I feel apart of something!Thank you ladies
Loni was so quick with the jokes. I laughed a lot
This had me so confused for a second when they said “Tomorrow is Thanksgiving” I was looking at the calendar 😂😩
11:20 when tam tam says “Dyamn eht!” I die every time
I see both sides. I wouldn’t host if I couldn’t afford so I’d never ask for money but if someone else needed help doing the meal of course I would
These convos are getting me EXCITED for the holidays !!! I still am shook by Loni’s “ Prerogative” performance was EVERYTHING 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yes,BUT some families are huge and often the older relatives cook all the food,and everyone comes, eats and leaves for the relative to clean up!!
I think family members should help with the food and clean up!!!
The other side is treat the older relatives to dinner and give them an envelope with cash as an appreciation for all the years they held family dinners.
Some relatives, will get offended either way; but then Christmas is 25 days later and some families expect big Christmas dinners or other holidays. plus gifts.
Families, need to be considered of relatives financial situations..
We started a new. tradition. each family contributes to the meal. and drinks and alcohol.
@Lillian Willliams Agreed. Yes everyone should help clean up!! I recall some family members showing up late, eating what was cooked/prepared and leaving early w/o bothering to help clean up.
Please pray for me! I’m struggling to provide for my two autistic children since losing my job over not getting the vaccine. I have pre existing health condition (Lupus) My husband passed away three years ago, so I’m all alone. Both of my sons are non verbal so things are more difficult for me. I don’t know how we are going to make it through this winter. I’m still waiting on the state for assistance. I’m so embarrassed of my situation.
BUT NO MATTER WHAT I have Faith that God will PROVIDE! Praying we make it through the holidays.
My prayers are with you🙏🏽. I'm so sorry for your situation.. stay strong. You will get through this dark time.. God is watching you. And he is listening
I would pay the $30 and more to not have to cook.
My family is doing it this way this year. After the passing of my grandparents, I have taken on the holidays. My grandmother always cooked everything and never asked for money. I would just help her. Now, we purchased groceries as a family for me and my aunt will cook for all. We divided the bill among all family members that wanted to come. It came to about $30 per person including Togo boxes.
My family all took the sleep in option and happily agreed to pay $30 to just show up and eat.
OMG jeannies Sound effects for the Cranberry sauce had me dead lol
Love this talk show!!!!! More clips plssssss
awww i’ve been watching so many older videos and i really miss these four together 😢
In 2010, many members of my family were hurting after the housing crash. Nobody was willing to host. Mom (the matriarch) couldn't cover all the costs. She charged $17 per person and that was good because we got lots of food out of it, and were able to stay comfortable in her home instead of being rushed out the restaurant during our food coma. On most other years, we do potlucks because no one is willing to spend all that time stress and money to cook/shop/decorate to make 6 different dishes to feed 14 people.
Pork - chicken - shrimp tamales for my thanksgiving thank you !!!
It depends on the family and inflation is a concern. Also, I believe the family should decide what fits best for them. I agree with Adrienne totally. But I do think it's a great idea to gather up money throughout the year.
For anyone who missed it, here’s Loni’s performance on Lip Sync Battle: ua-cam.com/video/Y_DHQ6T2N8c/v-deo.html Loni got movesss lol
Thank You! 🙌🏽🤣💗
Everyone should either bring somthing or pitch in.
Agreed.. potluck totally works.
or it could be something like a family pool known as the thanksgiving fund where everyone tosses in some money to help afford the food depending on what extras people want
Yeah heck no. Let's trash that idea forever. My family has different people bring a dish but those that don't bring one aren't required to pay! It goes against the spirit of the holiday. I'm the homemade turkey noodles and green bean casserole guy!
$30 a plate for food is a lot and the food isn’t always good.
we all pitch in for the groceries and then me and mom cooks. Its been totaling up to like 40ish per person now
I agree the fried turkey is not right if it's burnt. Also, I think the best smoked turkey is Greenberg and the best fried is from Billy's Cajun and Co
You pull the money together before you cook, if that's what's the family wants to do towards groceries. Absolutely not after ever!!!!
Homemade cranberry sauce is the best.
Everyone brings something. Buy the person cooking a turkey/ham, and bring a dessert also.
Stuffing/Dressing,
Macaroni Pie, Sweet Potato Casserole, brown n serve rolls, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, gravy, and beverages like sweet tea, punch, soda, etc.
Mmmm candied yams!!!
Very cool food podcasts
I wouldn’t do $30 a plate. But, there may be a few for those who were not invited, invited and bring extra people without the host knowledge, and/ or like sneaking extra plates homes. It’s the respect for me.
Green bean casserole, when done right....is wonderful!!!!
You must be white 🤣🤣🤣
How big are these plates? Can you get seconds? Is this like a buffet? Is the food good?
Omg this happened to one side of my family several yrs ago & I thought for the quality & quantity of food charging for this dinner was in such poor taste & tacky af💝
You have to soak your turkey in a seasoned citrus brine to get it nice and juicy and seasoned rosemary buttery basting
The way we do it is everyone brings a dish
jeanie can you make mac n cheese ?? 🤣
Hi edagdwg thanks you tube for sharing this sad story of what happens when you can't afford the dinner stop trying to act rich when your not .pay attention to what you do food cost a lot we all make a dish and enjoy the family linda j .peace
Lonie looks really pretty here. They finally got her makeup right.
Thanksgiving Cover Charge
-----------------------
If you think you gon charge me like I'm at a restaurant then ain't no point in me coming... there are people that buy stuff for their own meals that they cook at home and it may not have taken as much time as yours... it's still the point... now if I bring an unexpected guest I can pay for the, cuz you don't know them like that but me as a family member oh hell no im not doing it
DON’T Pass the Cranberry Sauce
-----------------------
I personally think the cranberry sauce is overrated my family members LOVE to put it on their dressing ( cornbread dressing - that is for the people don't know ) and tbh there's no need for it atleast for me my dressing cooked well enough and has enough seasoning and flavoring that it does not need a jell-o like substance on top of it ruining it lol
Usually when I host my friends contribute by bringing alcohol or desserts. It's a nice gesture eventhough I didn't ask for monetary reimbursement. Dont invite if youre not planning to shell out money.
Mac and Cheese 🧀 hmmmm lol
I think calling it “pay for your plates” makes it negative. We call it pitching in and everybody sends what they can or won’t have anything
I agree with Adrienne. Everyone can pitch in. The rest of them are speaking as people with money
I would love to eat with Adrienne’s family
Anyone who charges for a plate for Thanksgiving has zero couth. There isn't anything wrong with giving folks the option to bring something or contribute if they can( Invited guests..:Conditions, Restrictions, and Exclusions Apply..Family is excluded and we know why). Family should contribute some money or some essential ingredients for their favorite dishes( Exclusion- Seasonings don't count as ingredients) toward the dinner, it shouldn't be optional, but we would never refuse someone dinner. Food is expensive, the thoughtful thing to do is contribute something if you can afford to do so.
Can you imagine if your family is the kind of people where thanksgiving is always drama 🎭 and you still have to pay for it? Kkkkk but we have to think with the pandemic many people have a tight budget.
My nanny never charged lol she always cooked but I would go and help her cook my family wouldn’t eat it if she didn’t cook it but I will say nobody but me knows her recipes and she hasn’t been able to cook it in about probably 3 years and there was so much drama with my family with fights and just miserable that me and my husband started doing it with our kids and we just call and tell everyone happy thanksgiving
I feel like if they giving her money to buy the food thats on them and their choice its like pitching in
Girl I get food ass good with food stamps ! 280 helps a lot esp that I’m not working rn
I wonder how that Mac and cheese came out.
Tamera said it was really good. They did a segment on the whole dinner.
I don’t know how I feel about this. I would be pissed if they asked me to pay. But not everyone can afford the groceries. Maybe just chip I for the groceries
What if you offered to chip in for the groceries?
What about Christmas dinner 😅
I feel like contact the host a couple weeks before offer to make a dish, offer to bring the drinks, ice, or help grocery shop if the host is an older.
Didn't Loni bring a green bean casserole for their potluck back when Tamar was around??
The look on Adrienne’s face like I’m not that bad, lol 😁😁😁
😂😂😂😂 that’s because remember they used to make fun of her for not cooking and even Adrienne made fun of her self too 😂 she was like I’m the queen of ordering out! She showed during a house tour, her draw full of take out menus lmao 😂😂😂. But she knew that getting married one day, she was going to have to learn how to cook so she made sure to learn.
Most won’t! And it’s not even about cooking for a man or your spouse it’s so that you can eat healthy and if you plan to have a family one day, you have to feed them nutritious meals and not take out or microwaveable meals. Because I know way too many women who refuse to cook for their children.
They order out all day every day. One time my little cousin said to her mother “Del Taco again” she wanted real food. I felt so bad and she was like, I’m not cooking, shut up and stop wining, I’m not cooking, I’m tired.” I cooked a meal one day and sat down with her at the table. Because all her parents did was order out and buy microwave foods or took them out to eat. Her father didn’t want anyone in the kitchen really because he had OCD cleaning the house 365 days a year.

the host could ask for a x amount of $$ as a "colaboration" before the event but idk im not american, i dont know the etiquette
How about sending funds to the host about 10 days before the dinner; stating 'kickin' in for the groceries.'
If you can’t afford to do it then don’t do it. It’s that simple
10:35 11:06 11:43
When i make you mine gurls??
9:38-10:05
When was this show actually aired? November 16 has never been the day before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is not until next week.
Maybe it's their Thanksgiving episode! It confused me too!!!
It’s a video from the girl chat vault
no excuse. you should not charge for a plate. if you cant afford to host don’t do it
But they said $30 a plate. That’s a bit much
I am with Jeannie and I don't understand why Loni was so ridiculously salty. Looking at the old videos I see how Tamar AND Loni didn't treat Jeannie with respect.
Makes you think why Loni now pretends to be Jeannie's BFF, probably just because Jeannie is with Jeezy now and living her best life.
Loni is such an opportunist.
Everyone should pay a bit for all of the groceries because that's where the money is going but to charge $30 at the door for one plate sounds stingy and you might as well go to a buffet yourself.
Her father was a big guy when Brandy was with him.
Don't know where he stands now but sometimes it's genetic and you have to battle against.
I know someone who was boney like her dad but had to build muscle abd gain the weight on her own
I think it's fair.
If you pay 30$ you don't have bring anything.
Loni Love looks absolutely Gorgeous 😍
Oh I love your perspective. I think it is actually working fine having strong Republican voices, different ones, coming into guest host. I also agree with Sonny I think it’s important not to have an anti-VAX her who spreads miss information on that show.
No Adrienne the stuffing is in violation especially when it uses stovetop!!!!
To me you don't charge family for Thanksgiving. My house is free for family.thats what Jesus would do.
Is this the dark meat Jeannie made that made y'all go crazy for that long?
Y'all are insane fr
Your ex is here!
I would pay twenty because I dont eat that much and also I'm very cute and have a charming personality.
