    Back in the old days when the economy was better it was ok to patronize your local places even if their prices were a little higher ... But today, only the people with money can afford to do that... Hell, i've even heard Pauly Sorvino frequents my local Walmart (he doesn't live very far from me).

      Ha, "Save money, live better", unless of course you're part of the three percent of the American public forced to work for minimum wage at Walmart!
      I hate those places and have not been in one in over 2 years. They are slowly destroying our country and our culture. One moved into a smaller town near me. Within a year, half of the family owned small businesses in town, hardware store etc, were closed and the owners forced to get a minimum wage job at Walmart. Stay away people!

        Can't hate it unless you try it...that's always been my motto.
        It is all boneless (except the turkey wings and legs). $100 shipped for it is not a bad price. They run $75-$80 around here.

        We get fried turkey instead of the turducken. You can order it at any local supermarket at Thanksgiving or Christmas. You can fry your own turkey, but unless you are going to fry 5 or more turkeys, it is not worth it because of the cost of the oil.

            I guess our house is just full of rednecks because we go out and shoot our turkey every year. We either deep fry it (but that means all the work of de-feathering) or we simply breast it out, season, wrap the breasts in bacon and then roast as usual. Then again, our favorite family holiday side dish is pickled deer heart, so I think we are done speculating about whether or not we are rednecks. LOL!

            P.S. This is an extra exciting year because my parents first grandchild turns twelve on Thanksgiving day. Her birthday gift from my sister and brother-in-law will be her first deer rifle. I imagine they will be heading out to hunt immediately after dinner.

              As an update, I found the $.40 a lb turkey at Walmart. It was about 15 lbs and cost less than $7.

              As I was reviewing my local ads; most grocery stores are following Wal-Marts lead in my area. They also have their turkeys priced at $.40 a lb. and if you want Butterball, I have seen it for $.80 a lb. I like turkey so I bought a couple thinking we can always cook one after Thanksgiving and have a cheap eat.

                  They do have a 2 per person limit....but what's to stop someone from buying two and going back in and buying 2 more?

                  All the other grocery stores in my area are matching $.40 a lb and I have a huge box freezer. I don't mind buying 10 of them and eating them over the course of a year. Turkey is one of those type of meats I personally never get sick of eating and through years of Thanksgivings past, my parents used to come up with some pretty unique post Thanksgiving Turkey Surprise leftover meals

                          How's this for cheap....I'm going to my parent's house and I don't know what they paid price per pound for turkey. All I know is I am showing up and it will be good and Christmas will be fajitas and enchiladas because everyone will be tired of turkey and dressing....

                            Huh. My Publix had them for $.69 a pound. Anyways,I got the last of the 40 cents per pound jobber at Wal-Mart. It was a twenty pound turkey. Looks like I'll be having lots of leftovers.

                              I picked one up at Wegmans in Buffalo for 29 cents a pound (with $25 purchase, including the price of the turkey). So I got a 20+ pound turkey for about six bucks! That would have cost a hell of a lot more here in Canada, so I always buy stuff like this across the border, you can't beat a deal like that (we already had our Thanksgiving last month, we're saving this turkey for Christmas).

                                I could beat all of you (if I wanted). There's a flock of turkeys that congregate in my back yard and the fields beyond.

                                What's the price of a bullet?
