Our turkey prices are pretty much as they have always been.

If you have issues, please name the state and N-E-S-W so we can ID the area.

As far as I know, no problems in Colorado and…Safeway is giving away a free Honeysuckle turkey with $150.00 dollars grocery purchase.

I am in coastal Cape May County, NJ and will drive to Whole Foods in Glen Mills, PA (approx. 100 miles one way) to get an organic frozen turkey at $2.49/lb tomorrow.

Am sure I have enough points for a free turkey locally at my grocery store(s), but it has to be organic.

Hi @ECBG! Turkey issues in my state...

Well, here in my neck of the woods in MA.... I go to work everyday, and the turkeys are all be-bopping around, squawking, gobbling, trying to get into work because they can see their reflections in the door!

I then come home and the whole family of turkeys are lounging in my backyard after eating the droppings from the bird feeders.

Don't these turkeys know that Thanksgiving day is coming, and they should be hiding? 😂🤷‍♀️🙈🦃

lol Yes, but just spend $150 (on stuff you don't need) and you get one for free! (while supplies last).

Last week or so, I was almost run down by two huge wild turkeys that ran across the street while I was out walking! Scared the bejeepers out of me! A few years back we had one that was so ornery and would try to peck at our cars.

We have many turkeys in the stores here in downstate Illinois. I am not sure of the

prices. I order mine from a turkey farm. I do not remember the price.

@JFD12

I can relate. Every day several different groups of wild turkeys come through my yard to eat all the seed/berry I put out for birds and squirrels.

I went out the other day with my axe and threatened them.

They paid me no mind. I fought the turkeys and the turkeys won.

It's a battle almost every single day trying to get into work with all the turkeys... the whole family is there!! 🦃 They spread their feathers and gobble!! Nooo!!! 🙈🙈🙈

I have organic free range turkeys in my yard and plenty to choose from. You’re welcome to them.

Just checked WM and Meijer (big box grocery) here in Northern MI.

Butterball frozen $1.18 and $1.29 respectively

Meijer store brand $.55 cents per lb.

Butterball had been $3.47/lb when the "shortages" news story broke.

So much for "run, go get it now shortages".

Re: Turkey Issues in Your State? Please List

South Eastern PA here. There was not a lot to choose from. Most brands at the supermarket were names that I never heard of before, they were lower than what I think is average cost. Got the idea that the store sourced these turkeys from wherever they could find them because of the shortage. Other than that, there were a few Jenny O's and a few Empires. Got the Empire at 4.49 / lb. High, but oh well, its only once a year and its worth it because we all like it.

having a bit of difficulty finding 20+ pound turkeys.

purchased an 18.5 pound butterball just in case.

it cost about $44 at shoprite.

it is currently in the freezer, so if i can find a 20+ pound we will use that.

it HAS to be a butterball.

maryland area.

we also eat a pork and sauerkraut as an extra protein/side.

@sunshine45 Come on down to So. Joisey. You can trap a wild 20 pounder & take to the butcher shop. They will kill, defeather & package it all for ya! That is if you don't want to do it all yourself.

I dunno, but if I'm need a turkey for Thanksgiving, it's probably not a stretch that I need $150 of other components of my meal.

I went to my usual Aldi early in the week, they were selling frozen Butterballs under $1.00/lb, but the freezer case was empty. I went to Meijer and got one for $1.29/lb. I was at a different Aldi on Wednesday and they had them. Oh well. 🤷‍♀️ I'm just glad I got one since I've read that there could be a turkey shortage.
