About that turkey shortage....

Yeah, the forecast turkey shortage doesn't seem to exist. At least not here in South Jersey. I just got back from three stores and all three were very heavily stocked with turkeys at $0.99/pound. I'll be buying mine on Sunday, but I took a look around today and there were turkeys everywhere. If there's a shortage, they're hiding it very, very well.

No shortage here in West Texas either. Finding a turkey last year was much more difficult.

Same here in central NC. All the grocery stores have plenty of turkeys.

My area has large turkeys and turkey breasts galore, but no smaller (under 16 pounds) turkeys. Hoping that will change over this weekend.

I always have trouble finding just a turkey breast so when I saw they had them at Walmart a month or so ago, I grabbed one. Not sure they've had them since.

@gardenman I buy my turkey at a local farm market so no problems. However I'm about an hour away from you and here I have not seen any shortages in any store locally....keeping fingers crossed!

No shortage in Central NJ either.

All three stores we go to have all had them.

I do know some of them were tremendous, I commented to my husband about how big they were. I didn't notice if they had small ones.

There is no Turkey shortage here in PA either. I was in Wegmans last weekend and Turkey was .59 a pound, one to a customer. Of course, they had more expensive ones too.

i never saw that there was going to be a shortage of turkeys, just a shortage of smaller turkeys. The larger ones are in abundance as expected.
