Publix has turkeys for .69/lb, limit two in Central FL. Might want to pull up their site and enter your zip code if you have one near you.
Stop and Shop in CT has their turkey's on sale, starting tomorrow, for 59 cents a pound. They state that they will match any competitors coupon or advertised price.
I bought a 20 lb. Butterball turkey at Target last weekend, for 99 cents a pound. I roasted it yesterday and then carved it up and completely deboned it. I split the turkey up this morning into meal-sized portions for us to freeze, and you know what I figured out? When it comes to actual roasted meat that turkey actually costs $2.55 a pound, cooked. I got 8 pounds of meat out of that turkey (and that was deboning it very meticulously)...that doesn't seem like a lot for a 20 lb. bird.
Wow, that really surprises me considering the size of the turkey you started with! $2.55/lb plus your labor! I absolutely hate deboning chickens & turkeys, but I always feel like I'm getting a bargain doing it myself...may have to rethink that!
I just Googled to see what the meat yield on average is, and it said for a 20lb turkey to expect 10-13lbs. Butterball ripped you off! lol
I think you are RIGHT. There's a reason they call it "Butterball", isn't there? They shoot those birds up with BUTTER and liquids, I suppose. Lesson learned!
Now I'm going to go and buy a completely different brand of turkey and roast it just to see if there's a higher yield!
