thanksgivingturkeyweb11How much will you pay for your Thanksgiving turkey this year? If you’re like me, you’re waiting until next week to buy, because your fridge or freezer doesn’t have enough room to store it all week.

Here are the weekly deals good until Tuesday.

I would expect more deals when Wednesday’s specials come out, but of course if you have a big frozen bird, you need to start thawing it in your fridge by Tuesday. (Don’t do what my brother did, which is pull out a 20 lb. frozen turkey Thanksgiving morning and say, “Gee, how do we cook this thing?”)

    No Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Sprouts, etc? Must our food choices always be cheapest price first? What a sad (and obese) state we find ourselves in because we have been brainwashed to buy more,more,more for cheaper, cheaper, cheaper.

  • Bob T. says:

    I say that we ban all negative people from the interent and have them submit to an IQ test to be aloud access. What is wrong with shpping around for a good deal.

  • tom says:

    how loud will their access be

    or is that “allowed”

    you flunk, leave the internet

  • John Olsen says:

    Well Bob, I usually wouldn’t have reason to say this, but I am the current President of Orange County Mensa. So indeed, I did pass the test.

    http://www.ocmensa.org you’ll find my name under contact info. I invite you to take the test also.

    Thanks a lot Marla Jo - that would be great. Mary’s Free Range Turkeys @ Whole Foods are $2.29 lb. I see you added TJs

  • jim s says:

    Wife wanted ham, and I’d like turkey breast (only) I know you could expand the list forever, but alternates would be nice to see as well.

    thanks for this list though.

  • carrie says:

    thanks! this takes part of the work out looking for a bird!

  • Rene says:

    Thanks for the list. (John, your big title matches your big head) Keep up the good work Marla Jo.
