Overview
- Walmart is promoting Butterball frozen turkeys at 97 cents per pound and a bundle that feeds 10 people for under $40, which the retailer says is cheaper than last year.
- Aldi’s $40 package serves 10 with a 14‑pound turkey and ingredients for nine sides, with items available in store, for curbside pickup, or via delivery through late December.
- Other offers include a Costco feast for about $42 serving eight, BJ’s free Butterball turkey for members who spend $150 with redemption windows later in November, Kroger whole frozen turkeys at 99 cents per pound, and Publix heat‑and‑serve for about 15 people at $139.99.
- The American Farm Bureau Federation reports wholesale turkey prices are up about 40% but does not expect supply issues and anticipates continued retail discounting.
- Pricing experts say retailers are drawing shoppers with classic loss‑leader strategies, while consumer advisors note bundles can save money but may not cover extras or personal recipes without added cost.
