Kroger and Wal-mart here are running them at .69 but our Bi-Lo has them for .49

Not sure which states have Bi-Lo except SC and GA.

I would suggest looking to buy earlier than later, even if the price per pound is a few cents more than the steal you mentioned from last year. Why? Grocery stores - and especially Wal-Mart - that are "EDLP" (Every Day Low Price) strategize around the entire basket that is typically purchased. They know exactly what the average consumer is looking for and will jack up prices on items complementary to Thanksgiving Dinner... and even moreso as it gets to crunch time. Sure, the .49/lb turkey may be featured the week of Thanksgiving, but only go after it then if it's the last item on your list (and then good luck thawing it in time :) ).

Some articles that show how this works: Basket Pricing, Loss Leaders

My .49/lb turkey last year was awful and I am not an inexperienced cook. So, I am sure it was the turkey. I will spend a bit more and get a brand I know.

Our 49 cent/LB turkey from last year was great. Hoping out local walmart does it again this year.

Riverbend turkeys have been .45 lb. at my local Walmart since last Saturday (they were .92 lb the day before - I've been watching for the price to drop). I picked one up early yesterday morning. They had two freezer cases filled with them. I've been getting better deals on other stuff for my meal at the local grocery store by using coupons with their sale flyer.

Sorry to hear your bad turkey experience last year...we bought 3 and all of them were simply delicious!

 

My brother just called and told me the Walmart near him (Stuart, FL) has 58 cents a pound but it might be YMMV. I'll have to check mine later.

[dealluvr]

riverbend turkeys here are .68

[dealluvr]

AWESOME thanks

i think i was wondering about jenni o turkeys cause i dont think i have seen them here before

[jdrd90]

I paid $.98 a pound for Butterball at Walmart on Friday. We are Butterball people here lol although we have tried Honeysuckle before.

[sewblessed7]

I bought a cheapo from our local grocery last year and it wasn't very good either. I was definitely disappointed and now I need to decide where/what brand to buy this year. I want a nummy thanksgiving turkey this year! LOL

My Kroger had the Jenno turkeys for .29/pound today. Not sure if it was just my store, but hope it helps.

I've had bad meat experiences t WM too.

If you are in the south, Publix has their Publix young frozen turkey (10 - 24 lbs) for 59c per pound. I grabbed a 20 pounder for Thanksgiving and a 10 pounder to feed the freezer for when we are wanting a turkey in February.

 

If I had more room, I'd buy more!

[Cinnamonhuskies]

best deal was jennie o at Walmart for .68 a pound, so i grabbed 2. Turkeys just arent as cheap around here as last year.

[trob67]

i have jenny o turkey roast before and it was a salted nasty mess!

[trob67]

jacksonville florida publix is 59 cents a pound for their brand. I bought both butterball and publix last year and i nor could our guests tell the difference. Also i just read that winndixie will have turkeys for 39 a pound but i have never tried their turkey.

[Cinnamonhuskies]

I have never had a bad turkey from any brand, i guess it depends how you cook it and what your tastes are. There were a few years that we had butchered our own wild turkeys for the freezer and didnt buy any from the store and they take some prepping to get them to come out just right. When you are out of work you don't get picky.
