Tucsons's Turkey wars

The competition has begun for Tucson area grocery stores in their quest to sell the most turkeys! Tucson's weekly grocery sales ads came out today and it looks like Safeway and Frys are both offering to match their competitors prices. Now I don't really know who has the best deal. I guess it depends on which brand you prefer, Jennie-O, Manor House or Honeysuckle. I don't know if brands matter; as long as the bird is crispy outside, juicy inside and has lots of gravy in a boat next to him I'm happy.

Safeway's price is regularly between $1-$1.20 per pound depending on which brand you choose. Frys is regularly $1.49 per pound. These are all "club prices", so you don't get that sales price if you're not part of the club!



If you'll only eat an all natural turkey, you can find that at Ike's Farmers Market for a hefty $2 per pound! These turkeys are individually boxed if you choose to give them as a gift. Kind of crazy!
