Thanksgiving Turkey Sales Advantage

Coming up very soon indeed will be the week during which you should take advantage of the low, low sales price of turkey! Watch your grocery store flyers to see which week it will be that the price will be at loss-leader, rock-bottom price. In most stores, that week for quality turkeys that are not pre-seasoned with sugar and salt and nitrate this-and-that precedes the week during which those that are so doctored up are at rock-bottom price.

How many will the store allow you to buy at that price? Snap them all up! And perhaps the store will let you buy even more at a still-low, but not loss-leader, price.

If I were you, and I had a chest freezer (as I do, thanks to a very kind brother,) I would buy as many as I could find room to freeze! This means that now, the month of October, is the time to use up all the meat and meat alternatives in your freezer. This is not the time to buy and use fresh foods!

You can find a set of recipes within this blog for roast turkey and turkey-carcass soup on the Recipes page. (It is a Thrift with Flair blog page, not a dated post.) You’ll have plenty of turkey left over (unless you have a huge family) each time you prepare a roast turkey to be able to make several casseroles, such as turkey pot pie.
