Yes, I know it's crazy, but I get excited about cheap turkey's. I bought two 25lb turkey's today at .28 cents a pound. Each turkey cost me $7, that's a GREAT price! I am so tickled because I save the turkey meat in the freezer, boil the bones and extras in a big pot for broth and freeze that too. So during the year I can substitute turkey for chicken in casseroles, enchiladas or in just about any dinner. I also can make turkey soup with the broth and meat throughout the winter, very yummy and cost effective. Usually when I buy two, we need to cook one right away because we could only store one in our small freezer. Now we have a small deep freeze in our garage (Thanks Jennifer) and I can fit both turkey's out there and cook them at my convenience. How great is that?
Super-duper turkey buying tip: The bones all weigh about the same, so every extra pound the turkey weighs means pure turkey meat. So if you buy a 20 lb turkey you are getting 5 more pounds of meat than a 15 lb turkey with the same bones.

Where did you get the turkey, and is it still on sale? I love the turkey sales they have this time of year. Like you, I have a small freezer and I save them through the year to eat later. Congrats!
WinCo is the place to go. You do have to buy $50 in groceries.. but at WinCo you get a deal all the time. A lot of the big turkey's may already be gone, but I'd go down there and check it out anyway. You never know when they put out a new bin of turkey's. Note: I bought a 3rd turkey 2 days ago.
Brilliant! I am so going to copy that.
