Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the den with dangerous Day. Well,
it's Cyber Monday, but is Black Friday making it obsolete now?
Adobe Analytics said Americans spent a new record online shopping
on Black Friday eleven point eight billion dollars. That's up
nine percent from the ten point eight billion last year.
The peak was ten am to two pm. We spent

(00:21):
twelve point five million per minute. We also spent six
point four billion online on Thanksgiving Day. More than half
of those online sales happened on phone. This year. Looks
like stores and indoor sales continued to trend down. The
feeling among most people is why battle the crowds when
you can shop from your couch or, as my family

(00:42):
does it, from the bathroom. Deeper in the dem Well,
how's your fridge looking? Still like a game of Tetris.
Tonight's meal should probably be the Thanksgiving leftover buffet. It's
been four days since Thanksgiving, so basically or technically, today
should be the last day you eat leftovers before they
go bad. Some people might live dangerously and push them

(01:02):
out for the next few days, especially with food prices,
but experts don't recommend it. They said, you won't be
getting sick of eating it, You'll be getting sick for real.
According to the USDA, turkey, stuffing, potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, gravy,
pumpkin pie all can be stored in the fridge for
three to four days. If you don't want to waste food,
you can freeze them. They can last a couple of months,

(01:24):
so get them in there as soon as possible. One
Thanksgiving staple that will survive the fridge a little longer
cranberries homemade last ten days, can up to two weeks.
Now not a lot of old schoolers and some moms,
I'm looking at you, who are going to scoff at
the four day warning. Remember the smell test is an
one hundred percent reliable Thanksgiving dishes spoil faster than other leftovers.

(01:46):
Why they sit out in the danger zone longer than
the typical meal, So just be careful. Don't push anything
with meat and dairy, basically everything unless you're vegans. So remember,
eat those leftovers today, Yeah turkey. Tune in again for
