Publix $.49 per pound Turkeys

[SmokinAl]

I was at Publix today & they had Publix brand turkeys for $.49 per pound.
I couldn’t resist & bought 2. I have a ham for TG Day so the turkeys will take a nap in my freezer.
With prices going up this is a great deal if you live in the south and have a Publix near you.

Great deal Al,

Great deal! Did they have a selection of sizes? Small turkeys are pretty scarce around my neighborhood.

Bought a couple at Meijers for 33 cents a pound. Couldn't pass it up.

I bought one this morning for 48¢, frozen. Size ranged from 12-24 I think.

Yes the sizes were somewhat limited, the 2 that I bought were 15 & 16 pounds. They didn’t have any small ones. But I usually buy a 20-22 pound bird, so these were perfect. It was kinda of funny, because they limited you to 2 turkeys. If you bought more than 2 the cost was $1.49 lb.

Wish they'd go on sale like that around me. The lowest I've seen is $0.87 a pound.

Raise yourself a pig for that price

Nice!

Target had Butterball Turkeys for $0.99/lb so bought 2. People rave over Butterball but I kind of feel they are all about the same. We'll see if these Butterballs are much different.

1.79 a lb here in sac most were pretty large but price is fine for me beats steak prices lol

Wife and daughter can't agree on the menu, so I'm just going to hide in the bushes and watch.

 

[daspyknows]

Bought a frozen one for 53 cents a pound but will get a fresh one for Thanksgiving price be damned..

I bought two from Publix and they wife bought 2, then my daughter bought another. Freezer is full of Turkeys. 1 for Thanksgiving. Rest will be for later cooks. With briskets ridiculously expensive, I will be cooking other meats this year.

When pricing turkeys, just make sure you're comparing apples to apples. If you want to brine it yourself, don't get a Publix 48 cents/lb. turkey that's already injected with 8% turkey broth and phosphates. You're paying for a lot of water in that Publix turkey. That said, I find them delicious and convenient and just bought one. Same with Butterball. Industrial food magic, baby! Like those amazing $5 Costco rotisserie chickens. If I were interested in organic, free-range birds that listen to NPR, I'd go elsewhere.

Butterball: .99/lb
Butterball bone-in breast: 2.99/lb
Shadow brook or Jenno O: .69/lb

Most of the whole turkeys were in the 20 - 22 lb range. I managed to find a butterball 14 lber in another freezer section.
