Turkey deal...

**momof42003** · 11-14-2007, 09:47 PM

Went to the store last night to pick up a few odds and ends.. Half way through the store I came to the meat section where they advertised "turkey 22 cents a pound with 50 dollar purchase"... I didn't think I had bought that much, so I didn't get one, but once I got to the register I had just over fifty dollars... I got a 18lb or so turkey for 4.00... Pretty good I thought. How are turkey prices around there????

You found a real bargain!

My favorite local grocery store, Shoprite, offered a free turkey if you spend over $300 between September 30 and November 5. They have good prices & double coupons anyway, so I stocked up on a few things. I lugged home my free 18 lb turkey a few days ago

. The price on the tag said .99 lb, but I think that's high. My Mom bought one for .69 lb.

I'm not cooking Thanksgiving dinner, so I'll be stocking up the freezer with cooked turkey, pot pies, and a few other ideas I picked up here!

Ya, I won't be cooking Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners, so this will be a stocking the freezer thing too.. I am going to try to get back in there one more time before the sale is off....

Here there is one grocery store that has had them .69 lb the past month, a couple weeks ago they had them .19 a pound with $25 purchase. Another store has them .49 lb this week with $35 purchase. I am cooking Thanksgiving and Christmas, always do a ham at Christmas though. I did get 2 turkeys so I can cook one later on this winter.

Momof42003 was your great turkey deal at Winco? I haven't grocery shopped for a couple of weeks and I usually shop Winco and that does sound like their usual Thanksgiving deal. I would also like one for the freezer. Not cooking for Turkey day either.

That was a super deal as I just paid .69 cents per pound !!Katy

I normally buy a fresh Honeysuckle White turkey, and usually pay .79-.99/lb. for it, but this year, I'm going to buy the brand Kroger has on sale this week, at .39/lb. with a $10 purchase. We're going to my inlaws for Thanksgiving, so I'll either save the one I buy for Christmas or Easter.

We're getting them for $.49 cents here with store card.
Got my sister 2 at one store and 2 at another.
She has Thanksgiving and her 2 present for the milk tank drivers all done for this year.
We plan on getting 3 more for the freezer.

wow, great deals!

**kabin63** · 11-15-2007, 09:02 AM

I think the cheapest I have heard of around here is 59 cents a pound. I'm not cooking the whole dinner, but it's here at my house this year.

I haven't really checked the prices around here but I got a free one because of all the points I racked up buying my grocerie and what-nots. I think it was just a tad over 18lbs and would have been like $15 or something.

Yesterday I went to the grocery store with my fist-full of coupons and my list of things I needed for the house... If ya spend $100 you get a free turkey...

I spent $104.97...got eight bags of groceries and a 20 lb turkey! And in that there were 4 LARGE boxes of powdered milk (what we regularly use for drinking). I am thrilled!! ($13 of that was the make-up I use and $56 of is was the 4 boxes of milk). So, an average of $6/bag for the remaining bags of groceries...not bad...and free turkey and plenty of milk in the pantry is super!

I won't need to get groceries for a couple weeks now!!
