29 cents a lb for Turkey ?

Harris Teeter had them for $0.29 a lb if you purchased $40 in groceries.
 
For the last several years, we’ve been getting turkeys from Lily Den Farms. $7.00 per pound, but they taste much better than commercial turkey. Takes a lot less longer to cook too, for some reason. Much more dark meat, less white. Almost no grease, to where making gravy is tough.
 
We picked up a 22# at Food Lion last week @ 29¢/lb. Put it in the freezer for another day.

Yeah…I was gonna go this route (different farmer but same thing) this year till I priced it…between thanksgiving and new years we fry between 12-16 (15-16lb each) turkeys. Be a dang expensive proposition paying $8 per lb for them instead of less than $8 for the whole bird!
 
My 87 yr old mother would have said those are ole Tom's. I don't know other than the only turkey I eat anymore is Wegmans Honey Brined turkey breasts. Moist and delicious. Tried a "fresh" never frozen whole breast from high end grocery store and after cooking and tasting, threw it out.
 
Got 4 FL turkeys in the freezer. Enough for Thanksgiving dinner for spring, summer, and fall. Thanksgiving dinner with all of the trimmings is simply to good to have once a year.
 
I thought about getting a post-thanksgiving Turkey on the cheap, chop it into 4-5 more manageable pieces, vacuum seal, and freeze, but my wife reminded me the freezer is 98% full (mostly meat) already. Good problem to have I guess!
