Are you ready for Thanksgiving? (cost of turkey)
Cost of our turkeys are only 29 cents a pound. We got 2 today and before the end of next week hope to get 6 more. Yes big freezer! I use it all year long. We make our own It. turkey sauage, and breakfast patties so it gets lots of uses. |

| I was just thinking about checkng on the turkey prices around here. I'm all for stocking up too! |
| we do the same thing...only we dont get ours from the store.....Hunting season is now so we get a few to last the year. |
| You allowed to use corn or anything as bait around there? |
lol no you have to do it the good ole fashion way.  |
Turkey is overrated.  |
Have a love/hate relationship with turkey. Love it, hate that I love it. 
That's so cheap compared to what we pay around here. I paid almost 60 bucks for a turkey last year. They're all over the place wild here too, not uncommon to see 15-40 of them wandering at the side of the road. People swerve a lot in those areas AT them. Lots of hunters here too but I think the season for them is over here. |
| Got a free 13 lb. butterball...grocery store does it every year by collecting points! I LOVE turkey AND dressing AND gravy AND mashed potatoes AND dessert!!!! I make all those good vegetable side dishes but really don't eat the salad or veggies much as I want plenty of room for the turkey, potatoes, dressing, gravy.... |
| The lowest ours are here is 39 cents/pound.
I need to stock up!! Our family loves turkey and all the trimmings too  |
| After reading everyone's posts, I've realized that I've never bought a whole turkey. Cooked them, sure. But it's never been my purchase. Kind of a weird revelation.... |

LOL But it does make you sleepy if you eat a pound or two - At my age that's not a bad thing.  |
| Wow, I haven't seen them .29 around here, but then I haven't been looking. Got one "free" if you spend $100.00 at grocery store........hah! Easy!! Get a book, bottle of wine and bottle of Glucosamine and you are well on your way! |
.59 cents a pound is the cheapest around here. This year we are going to our son's home for dinner.  He & our grandson both work for the same company & each get a turkey for Thanksgiving FREE! So now I need to call & see what I can bring to fill in! I don't mind that at all Beats cleaning the house & doing all the cooking & then clean - up afterwards here! |
| I just can't get over your prices!!!
I have been looking and don't see any prices but I know just a turkey breast is around 20 bucks. 8 dollars a lb is normal, holiday prices are lower but I don't *think* under 4 dollars a lb. Now I get why anyone who lives anywhere near the border and some who don't go over to the states to get their turkeys. |

The .49 a pound is for frozen - I have no idea what the price is for fresh. I never look |
Wow, Stacey, that's HIGH.  I can't believe the price differences. Gosh.
I haven't been looking here either because my Mom and sister informed me they had already bought the turkey for me to cook. 22 lbs!! I don't know who they think is coming to dinner. Holy ! We'll be eating turkey until Christmas. |
| Those prices are for frozen. |
| I'd have thought that breasts are more expensive than whole turkeys. |
| I've got a 23 pounder all ready to go! .19 cents a pound !!!!!
My sister got one too. She actually is having Thanksgiving, but I do a "backup Turkey" in case we need more, and so we have left overs at out our house too. Plus, I am on gravy patrol, and need the drippings. Can't wait until next Thursday.... Turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, cranberries, rolls, pie.... I am sooo hungry now How about you? |
| I got my 20# turkey last night on my way home from work. Came out to about $8
Limit one, so I guess I will be back getting another one when I go in to teach classes tonight! |
| I just checked - 59 cents a pound on sale around here (1.19 at the other store) - oh well. And I have to buy three big ones, one for Tday, one for the freezer and one for the food pantry. |
I get mine free from a psychiatric hospital where I volunteer with Patch - a 10 lb Butterball. I also get a steak dinner with all the trimmings. A nursing home where we volunteer gives us a frozen apple pie. All I have to cook are the vegetables, mashed potatoes, and waa laaaa. Sorry for bragging - but just had to.  |
If you hang out at toll plaza 14B on the New Jersey Turnpike, you might get a fresh hen free.  |
| Last couple of years I've been wanting to have the local grocery store roast my turkey.......keep forgetting to get my order in time. |
| I went back yesterday and got another 2 turkeys for the $.39/pound price They were one per purchase, but LeAnne was with, so we each paid for one.
We got a 10 pounder ($3.90!!! ) and a 25 pounder that came out to $10 even
Todd made the 10 pounder for supper - fabulous! We had potaoes, acorn squash from the garden, dressing and corn....I am so stuffed
Dessert is the pumpkin pecan dump cake, but it's still in the oven. My house smells SOOOO yummy! |

| All that yummy food description is making me so hungry!! |
| and I just had leftovers for lunch at work!!!
I love the food of Thanksgiving and Christmas......I need to EXERCISE....NOW! |
| I heard today that the average turkey price across the country is $1.69. They also said that central Ohio had some of the lowest Turkey prices around.
SEE-- we have the OHIO STATE BUCKEYES and LOW price TURKEYS.... Maybe I shouldn't put both of those in one sentence. |
.99 per pound for fresh turkeys and .39 for frozen. I'd stock up if I had a freezer.  |
| You guys make me feel terrible that you know prices so well. I would bet I shop more at the store than EVERYONE on this thread, and I realize that's a bold statement, and I have no idea what the price of ANY meat is. This makes me want to pay attn more!!!
I mean, I look if it's something I know is known to be expensive (like fish and buying a cut of meat I normally don't buy), and I try to buy the cheaper of my choices, use 30-50 coupons each visit which is an overstuffed basket full 1-2 a week, but have no idea what the actual PRICES are. ...just that I may have used a .50 coupon. If I were making the turkey this year, I know I have to get it no matter the price, so ...price is not important b/c I have to buy it. That's at least how I've always looked at it. |
| Yeah and with necessities sometimes it's better not to know. LOL
I mean, it's insane to pay even 2 or 3 dollars a pound for something you all are getting SO incredibly much cheaper, but really, I don't care, I'm still going to buy that 22 lb turkey because everyone loves it and it's a lot of work to not have leftovers, that's the best part! LOL |
