.50 cents a pound for a Jenny O! Thats the best price Ive seen in a long time. Frozen, not fresh, but only wish more people that needed a reasonable one for Christmas could have taken advantage.

That’s cheaper than dog food. Buy three and toss ‘em in the freezer!
Food lion grocery stores ,eastern NC, has whole frozen turkey for 39 cents . Mix of brands I think . Regardless I am sure most all were packaged a few miles down the road at the butterball plant.
Just the two of us so I always cut them in half so we don't have a lot of left overs.
After eating two this year minus the breasts for my friend's dogs I'm turkeyed out. Also no freezer space and I ain't gonna spend few hondos for a chest freezer for .50 cents a pound turkey.
Now turkey eggs that would be a treat. They'll make some fun deviled eggs.
Now days it's cheaper to just eat the money ................................
I was in Wal-fart about a month ago and they had Butterball turkey BREASTS for 50 cents a pound. I bought three, took one to our daughter. Probably should have bought more at that price. Eight pounds of turkey breast for $4!! That would have been cheap 40 years ago!!
I was just remembering Mike Rowe on "Dirty Jobs" collecting live Turkey gravy. The end product getting .50 cents a pound really blows for all the work that goes in to them.
Thats a heck of a lot cheaper than chicken!
The 50 cent a pound is a loss leader to get you into the store. They know they are loosing on the bird but they make it up on the fixings ! Sadly ,the farmer only makes 6 to maybe 15 cents per pound raising them
Let me check the back yard, may be able to beat that price. Lol
Doubt it, the legs are too tough for soup!
Being an inferior meat, it should always be dirt cheap.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Pulsarnc, not a lost leader, an after Thanksgiving dump what's left sale. Like I said, I should have bought more. Roast a breast, slice and make sandwiches, put on your plate with smashed taters, the possibilities are endless.
Should have filled my freezer but I never claimed I was real bright.😁
Boil the skeleton and make stock for soup!
just came home turkeys were about a 1.00 a pound passed on them
but I did buy two hams kroger had for .89 cents a pound must be trying to dump overstocks I bought two for the freezer
I like ham better any way and I am sure the dogs would complain.
I still have 2 turkeys in my freezer from last years cheap sales. I need to plan a few days of thawing, brining, and smoking!
For Thanksgiving the wife paid seventy dollars for a fresh killed turkey. Though it did speak three languages and had two college degrees...
Was at our local post office 2 weeks ago and when walking out noticed an older couple looking at the front of their car. I asked if everything was ok and the woman said they hit a bird and it was stuck!! I took a look and it was a turkey. I removed it for them and asked them if they wanted it. Very funny look on her face and she said no. Guess what we had for dinner the next day!
So I was watching "A Christmas Story 2" pops was complaining turkey was .40 cents a pound in 1945. About $7.00 today's money.
ltcdoty - Was your bird 10 pounds? I imagine your bird was well loved like those Wagyu.
14 pounds
