Best Thanksgiving Turkey Deals Under $1 Per Pound
Inflations has driven up the price of many foods – and Thanksgiving can get expensive really fast if you’re on a budget – so I wanted to put a list together of the places that I know are selling a Thanksgiving Turkey for less than $1 per pound. Saving money on the main entree can really cut the cost of the entire meal! Of course Costco has loads of sides and desserts that are mostly priced the same as last year (no inflation on your Costco thanksgiving!) – see our Costco Thanksgiving Edit for those and scroll down for our best finds for whole Thanksgiving Turkey options for under a buck a pound!
Money Saving Tip: Use those leftovers! If you can’t finish all the leftovers (although I can personally eat Thanksgiving leftovers daily, I know many of you get sick of eating it) be sure to freeze them while they’re still good. You can freeze leftover mashed potatoes to defrost later and make a shepherds pie, or serve on the side of any meal really. Make a turkey bone broth with the bones – and you can freeze this too to defrost later to make soup. Freeze the turkey and use it in a casserole. Just make a list for yourself of what you put in the freezer, and how you can use it, and keep it on the fridge so when you’re meal planning to make sure to mix those in! Freezer space is precious, round here at least 😉
