yeah. There will be some whole turkey deals in the next week or two in the us that are just insane.

Many stores in my area give you a free turkey if you spend enough money. I think the one I go to will give you one if you spend $150. Which really isn't hard to spend on groceries anymore, especially if you're buying all the other Thanksgiving staples for a big family.

Show me lamb, oxtails, shell fish. We’re over turkey, here. While hams are out on sale here, and I like it, it’s not great in large quantities for my body and shellfish are prohibitively priced enough to keep me properly constrained.

Also show me great produce for decent prices.

Problem with produce is how quickly it goes bad. There's such a large amount of shrink already that it's hard to also cull out the less good stuff.. if all of one item looks bad though, mention it to a clerk in the department and ask if they have any in the back. When I worked at Sprouts, I would also go check and then refresh that item after if possible

Well that’s mostly why I want it pierced less, you have to buy it more often.

They haven’t even replaced the sign for them in a couple stores near me, but the prices are pretty cheap already. I’m considering buying one of the bigger whole turkeys and just butchering it at home to make a bunch of different meals. The $16 ham I got ended up lasting me and my fiancé about 10 meals between the ham and the soup from the ham bones.

I have a seperate freezer and we stock it up and it lasts till spring.

[–] bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We plan on getting a small chest freezer for exactly this. And Costco full pork loins.

[–] bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

No clue, we don’t have Sams Club. But I could usually get a middle roast, and about 6 chops from each side.
