I love stocking up on cheap frozen turkeys around Thanksgiving. Last year we saw the lowest turkey prices on record when adjusted for inflation. I managed to snag a few at $0.39 per pound. This year national prices are expected to increase 9%

As many people around the nation will be googling turkey prices a good thread on it on the OT will increase our traffic even more. It will also help local penny pinchers save some money.

Please post your location, grocery store, turkey brand, and price per turkey. Any additional info like minimum purchase needed or max number of turkeys should also be included if possible.

I will update as info is provided


Nov 21, 2019 Update:

Dorignac's:
no turkey specials

Langenstein's:
no turkey specials

Robert's:
Pride of the Farm Turkey Breast: 99 cents/lb. (limit 2)

Rouses:
Honeysuckle: 35 cents per pound (with $25 purchase)

For something I buy once per year, I really don't care whether I pay .40/lb or .99/lb

The cheap frozen supermarket turkeys are full of water and brine. Some may even be left over from last year. A fresh, never frozen(solid) turkey is about $40. That’s what I’m going to share with my family.

Nope, and when he knew the end was near, he marched out into the middle of the yard and shot himself. Damnedest thing I ever saw.

Been eating frozen turkeys all my life and love them. Fresh turkeys are a scam for snobs who think paying more means getting more.
