Turkey Deals?

[HeatherC]

Well I just went food shopping and saw frozen turkeys on sale for .59 a lb at our local Market Basket. Wasn't planning on buying one, but they were about $1.19 a lb recently so this seemed like a good deal.

We aren't hosting Thanksgiving this year, but love the leftovers so I will cook it on Wed. with some fixins and enjoy the leftovers Thanksgiving weekend.

Any deals in your neck of the woods?

Bottom Dollar has turkeys for 37 cents per pound this week that ends today.
If you have 400 points or more at Giant (Pennsylvania), you can get a free turkey.

Yeah, I only need to spend about $275 more till I can get my free turkey from Giant. That should be fairly easy to do over the next couple weeks.

.37 a lb is great! Haven'tseen prices that low in a couple years here in Mass.

Only thing I've seen so far is 59 cents/lb at Kroger for the store brand turkeys with additional $10 purchase. It was in the Halloween ad with a note that it would be the price through Thanksgiving. There is a $3 off Butterball with additional purchases coupon out as well.

those are great prices. The only price I have seen are from the meat market that had them for $1.59 for a fresh one. Not in my price range!

I am really considering doing a turkey breast, or if we deep fry just a 16lb whole turkey and roast the breast. Everyone is a white meat person or ham eater. I do the giblets or dark meat up for the cats though.

Just heard Target had breast last week for .99 a pound. I need to keep my eyes peeled now for a good price.

I haven't seen any turkey prices yet, but we also don't subscribe to the newspaper so I'm probably just out of the loop!

This will probably be the 2nd year we don't have a turkey for Thanksgiving due to the prices. On a per pound basis for a frozen turkey, it's a great price, but it's too difficult to work the budget to pay that much for a turkey especially with having to have a "qualifying additional purchase". Last year the required additional purchases weren't $10, they were around $40+ that I remember. We spend about $50/week for groceries (including all household items such as toilet paper, laundry detergent, toothpaste, etc).

I will probably just cook a whole chicken again. It's just my husband and myself unless we are invited over to dinner with the family...some years we are, and some years we aren't.

$1.19lb is the regular price for a frozen turkey at my store, but soon they'll start the X cents a pound with $25 worth of groceries. Years ago they'd be 29 cents a lb, I think they're going to be .49 a pound this year and the price of the turkey counts towards that $25 total. People go ape over it and buy one every time they're in and stick them in freezer. It gets crazy and now they only have that deal for a two week period where it used to be a month long price.

They had the same offer last week and I've already picked up my bird. It's not hard to spend $100 in a single transaction anymore but you have to reach that mark AFTER coupons in order to get the free turkey.

I did a huge coupon shopping trip and got nearly $300 worth of food (including my 22+ lb bird) for $125!

Now, I'm thinking of doing another big shopping trip just so I'll have one to donate. Acme used to allow you to donate your "free turkey" coupon to charities. I wonder if they are doing anything like that this year? I don't have room in my freezer for another turkey.

BJ's has a free turkey deal until Nov 13th. I believe you have to buy some preselected items from a list.
