Let me just start by saying that if you are a local the BEST deal in town for a turkey is at Win-co. If you spend $50 you can get a turkey for 22 cents a pound.
You read that right!
You can only get one at a time at that price and then it's 98 cents per pound. But, my plan is to do it again next week so I can store up a turkey in the freezer. Also, I don't normally spend that much at one store so to pad my shopping trip by about $20 more than usual, I got some stocking stuffers like candy, make-up, small toys, and hair accessories.
Two birds with one stone.
And in order to manage Thanksgiving groceries, I'm combining it in the next two grocery shopping trips. So this week I managed to get some of the ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner and next week I'll get the rest.
Here's how it went.

I heart Winco! I find that I need to take my calculator with me, though, as one shopping trip I bought nearly $75 in stuff in trying to buy $50 worth!
Wow! I wish we had prices that low around here! Great trip!
Turkeys are 20 cents a pound at Wal-Mart with no minimum purchse.
Wow Sheila! Amazing. They are practically giving the turkeys away. Our walmart doesn't have groceries...yet.
Ooh, that's great! I did the same thing at QFC a couple weeks ago. With $25 min you could get up to 2 turkeys for .29/# So I got 2 :) and I'm not even hosting Thanksgiving! Our wally mart only has druggies selling "fighting puppies" outside, no real food past junk food.
If you live on my side of the world, Gordon Food Service (GFS) has turkeys for 29 cents a pound with $15 purchase. Giant Eagle and Kroger both have them for 29 cents a pound with a $30 purchase. We ended up buying a 22 lb. bird (we're feeding a big family!) and it cost almost $7. My mom and I both chucked items in the cart to add up to $30. We're doing it again next week and freezing the turkey for another meal down the road. :)
This one is incredible: someone raised a turkey for us and it weighs over 40#--I'm not only humbled, but I am now in search of a pan large enough to roast it in. We do have a big enough oven, but sure don't want to have it cut in two. As we think about Thanksgiving, I think of the 5 kernels of corn the Pilgirms had to eat that first year for dinner. Blessings to you and your families. Sandy(a.k.a.Grannie)
I wish we had a Winco here! Since we don't enjoy your victory a little bit for me, ok?
