MR. FOOD NO-FUSS MEALS MAKES DINNERTIME AFFORDABLE AND NO-FUSS EVERY DAY…INCLUDING THANKSGIVING

Special Thanksgiving menu is next best thing to homemade

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (October 14, 2008) — As the holiday season approaches, Mr. Food no-fuss Meals, the popular meal assembly retail concept, continues to cook up your family’s homemade favorites so you don’t have to…and now they're making Thanksgiving no-fuss, too, as well as a great value.

As families gear up for the holidays, thoughts of costly dinners are already weighing heavily on Americans at a time when they're struggling to put gas in their cars and food on their tables every day. In fact, nearly 45% of people are dining out less this year in order to save money, according to BIGResearch, an Ohio-based consumer research firm. Darden Restaurants, the largest full-service dining restaurant company whose chains include Red Lobster, Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse, has already cut their profit forecast for the remainder of 2008.

Mr. Food no-fuss Meals paid close attention to the current trends when planning their Thanksgiving menu, ensuring that average middle-class families would still be able to afford a homemade dinner with all the trimmings for this, the most anticipated of holidays.

Throughout the year, Mr. Food no-fuss Meals provides people in communities around the country with timesaving and value-priced “Home cooking without the hassle.” Their ready-to-cook menu changes monthly, with menu items easily assembled by guests themselves and also available for Grab ‘n’ Go pick-up service and, now, home and office delivery, too. And their special Thanksgiving menu is proving to be the next best thing to a homemade holiday feast – even for families watching their food budgets! It’s not standard supermarket take-out or restaurant to-go fare but real, homestyle dishes that feel and taste just like Mom used to make.

The traditional Mr. Food no-fuss Meals holiday menu features succulent turkey and all the trimmings, so dinner hosts can spend the holiday relaxing and visiting with family and friends – without any of the usual hassle of preparing everything from scratch.
