What's a good price on a turkey for Thanksgiving?

[kawc1945]

This is the first dinner that we will be hosting. I am just wondering what is a good price on turkeys? How low can we expect them to go? BTW, we live in NC and our local stores are Harris Teeter, Bi-Lo, Target, WalMart, Lowes, and Food Lion.

Thanks!

I was in Stop & Shop tonight and they were $.47 per lb. I thought that was a good price.

A few months ago I paid $1.19 a pound for a frozen turkey so that's not too good. Honestly, every year we get a free one from DH work and I also get another free one from our supermarket when your purchases over a month or so add up to $300.

one of our grocery stores has them for .39 a pound.
Also saw an ad for free with $100 purchase.

I've purchased turkeys for less than $5 and over $60 depending on if they were store brand or fresh, organic. In my experience, brand doesn't matter that much for quality when you're buying frozen (Butterball isn't better than a store brand) but the fresh turkeys are better.

Wow! That's a great deal. I'm still watching the sales papers. Sometimes you can get one for 69 cents a pound. One year we got a free turkey for spending $100, which isn't hard to do with a family of 5.

It also depends what kind of turkey you want. I have gotten frozen for as little as 29 cents a pound. We buy fresh turkeys now and thy usually start at about 89 cents a pound depending on the brand. I really like Trader Joes brined turkeys...yummm! Don't remember how much per pound, but you can't screw up their turkeys...they are soo yummy and juicy!

I think we got the best deals at Lowes food. Miss lowes food now that we live in VA!
