Giant Eagle turkey deals

[Weinergirl]

I need to buy a Thanksgiving turkey. Will GE have better prices if I wait until closer to Thanksgiving? I have foodperks I was going to use this week, but I can save them to use on the turkey shopping trip if that makes sense. I wasn't hard-core couponing last year at this time so I don't know how the cycle goes. Thanks! :wavehi:

GE usually doesn't lower their prices on holiday meats as it gets closer to the holiday; however, in the past they have matched competitors' lower prices for the same brand/size of turkey if you show them the competitor's ad. If you can find a store near you that is advertising a lower price on turkeys, it's worth a shot. Even better if you can snag a coupon (Honeysuckle and Butterball are good for coupons around Thanksgiving) plus use your foodperks...that bird will be practically free!

I remember GE being all over the map with their prices for Turkey's. It depends on what area you live. I tried to price match Erie's GE turkey prices to pgh and was shot down.

Hubby said Wal Mart had turkeys for 60 cents a pound. Not sure what type or brand.

Thanks for the tips you guys. I will check some other places and keep my eyes open.

Walmart put out a press release that they will have turkeys for 40c a pound. Reports are that Jenny-o and I think another brand are the 40c ones. They have others for 60c/lb, and I believe butterball was reported to be 99c/lb.

I havent been to WM yet to verify our area has the 40c ones, but it will either cause a price war and GE and SnS will lower theirs, or WM may end up being the place to go for turkeys this year!

Walmart put a full page ad in our Cleveland Plain Dealer earlier this week advertising their $0.40/lb turkey. Once the price match statements come out from GE then I plan on using this ad I tore out to get my bird for at least $0.40/lb.

I actually just got back from GE and saw that their Giant Eagle brand turkeys are on sale for $.29/lb. So I guess I answered my own question! I don't think that's a sale price so I may as well wait and see if anything better comes along in the meanwhile. Thanks again for all the responses!

What GE has that price. That's the lowest I have seen in years.

Kingsdale Giant Eagle in Columbus, Ohio. Does your GE have their brand turkeys at a higher price?

marrelam, do you know what day the ad was in the Cleve. PD? I only get the Wed. and Sun. paper and I haven't looked through them lately.

I miss the old deals that GE used to do where you got a free turkey for spending so much on your Advantage card. They did it for years when we lived in PA then still did it when we first moved here. I'd always managed to scrape out enough spending but would usually have an overflowing pantry from doing it 10 or 20 cents at a time with coupon items.
