quite some time ago in my area , Fz turkey was a seasonal loss-leader
and this was the same in CA were i grew up : Safeway turkeys were 24 cents // lb
that's how long ago that was
then stop and shop and Shaws added a purchase minimum. that was easy to meet
if you got ll your Thanksgiving Suff at one stop.
Market basket has Fz turkeys this year @ 69 cents // lb 2 limit.
back in the day when I used to hack up those turkeys and SV the best parts
it was easy to get the limit , cart them out to the car ,and go back and get a second limit .
I was surprised seeing the 69 cent price . given inflation etc that's quite a deal.
