Best Turkey Prices

Dressing = in a pan

Stuffing = in the bird

If I wanted dressing, I'd buy it in a box, throw it in a pan and call myself a great Thanksgiving cook.
I stuff the bird like my mother did and her mother did, using home made sourdough bread.

Turkey here is $.39/lb with a $35.00 minimum purchase.

Happy Turkey Day !

My mother and grandmother both stuffed the bird, however, my wife cooks dressing in the oven (outside of the bird) and it is much better in my opinion.

I like a drier dressing.

We bought the Fry's Ham and Free Turkey special. The ham is really good, had it for lunch today.

I've always found it hard to understand why, on the most important food holiday of the year, people try to get their turkey as close to free as possible. You don't mind paying 4 bucks a pound for ground "beef" sold in 3 pound opaque chubbies and feed that nasty slurry to your children, yet the idea of paying over a dollar a pound for turkey seems like a ripoff. Do a little research on how those cheap turkeys are raised and how long they've been frozen and you might change your mind.
If you've never had a farm raised, free range, heritage breed turkey that might cost you (gasp!) 4-5 dollars a pound, you haven't had turkey.

"You don't mind paying 4 bucks a pound for ground "beef" sold in 3 pound opaque chubbies and feed that nasty slurry to your children"....Personally, I haven't purchased store bought ground beef in over 20 years, I buy from a grower, who processes just one animal at a time. I have also raised turkeys, geese, ducks and chickens....when I was on a farm. However I am always on the lookout for a cheap turkey. I just took one out of the freezer from last fall....the way they are packaged these days, there is no freezer burn, no degradation as long as they remain in airtight packaging....but in no way do they resemble a farm fresh bird.

That would be an interesting statistic if it is true.

To the OP, that sounds like a good deal to me. We buy a ham each year from Christmas (Honeybaked) and it costs nearly $70 for the ham alone.

I am a discount shopper always looking for markdowns to fill my freezers,every year for a few months after Thanksgiving and Christmas I see hams marked down everywhere for long periods of time, people pass up their noses when hams are 50% off so they just sit on the shelves in the supermarket.
Turkeys that are marked down usually go pretty quick but not hams.
