The Best Turkey Wins

While some grocery items are more expensive during the holiday season, my observation of frozen turkey prices leads me to the conclusion that the time leading up to Thanksgiving is actually the most inexpensive time to buy frozen turkey meat!

One average-sized turkey (10+ lbs.) can provide meals for a whole month if rationed carefully, and turkey is much healthier than beef, and even chicken.

So, far, here are the prices I’ve seen:

• Bloom and Food Lion: $.57/lb.
  • limit 2 turkeys with and additional $35 purchase (I am not sure if this is pre-coupon/how it works if your total is lower)
  • 10 lbs. or more
• Ingles: $.68/lb.
  
  • Limit one
• Publix: $.69/lb.
• Bi-Lo: $.79/lb.*
  • Limit 2**with $25 additional purchase (bleh!)**
  • *Their ad states that they will price-match any competitor’s turkey price (excludes Butterball and fresh turkeys)
• Aldi: $.99/lb. (Butterball Turkey)

May the best turkey win!  So far Ingles is in the lead!  (In my book, at least, because they don’t state a specific purchase requirement.)  Please comment with any additional input or information!  I will also update as I find new info.
