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.

[Weinergirl]

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.

[Weinergirl]

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?

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.

[jmupole1]

I just picked up my ad now and wanted to let everybody know that starting Thursday, 11/12/09 there are Giant Eagle frozen turkeys for 49 cents a pound and a bunch of Steeler buck items on sale. I'll list them real quick:
Wishbone salad dressing 2/4
Hellmann's mayo 2/6
Skippy Peanut butter 15 or 16.3 oz 4/10
Knorr side dishes or recipe secrets 10/10
Ragu pasta sauce 26 oz 3/5
Bertolli meals 21-24 oz 5.99

Plus you get $2 off your next order when you purchase $10 in single transaction, but we all know, we won't get 2 Steeler bucks then.

[jmupole1]

Sorry I was so excited about the turkeys and list of Steeler items, I forget a couple.

Birds eye bagged or boxed vegetagles 10/10
Glad Storage or freezer bags 30-50 ct
Glad Sandwich bags 100 ct
Press n seal 75 ft.
Cling wrap 200 ft --all Glad 2/5
Ritz crackers 2/5

[jen276here]

Looks like we are getting some Unilever Q's in the RP too!

Can you see what the savings is on the Wishbone? TY!

Edited to add: my bad, though the site is up, it looks like the coupons are no longer listed there.

I think this IP link still works for $.75 off glad products:
Coupons (http://print.coupons.com/Couponweb/Offers.aspx?pid=14862&nid=20&zid=fz92)

Kind of a weird combination, it lists KC Masterpiece and other products, but Glad is stated at the end of the list.

[jmupole1]

Wishbone is save up to $2 off of 2 plus I think I have coupons for 1.25 off 2

[StaceyLFreedman]

Are you just going to tease us with the ad?? lol

[jen276here]

Okay jmupole1 - I see you are not exactly new here so you should know that you are required by GE law to post the FULL ad upon its arrival! :hysterical:

Now remember, the penalty for failure to post in its entirety is a tar and 'feathering' with expired hair dye coupons ! :wink7:

[jmupole1]

Sorry I didn't want to type it up and then have somebody else post it at the same time. I will do it now.

I couldn't find the coupon on the link. Read somewhere else where that coupon expired 6/30/09.

Anything on Duracell batteries?

[sandmike123]

jmupole1, I don't have the ad yet so go ahead and type... I usually start saying I have it, then edit as I start typing. That way it already has a place and someone knows I am working on it.

I stalked my moms mailbox again and nothing. I waited and hour and even drove up the road to see if I could see the mail person.. nothing.. she must be runninglate today..

I think regular price on the Wishbone is 2.45 at my store.

[jmupole1]

Duracell coppertop batteries AA, AAA 16 pk C or D 8 pk or 9 volt 4 pk for 9.79
Duracell 2 GB SD card 9.99

[jmupole1]

I just typed almost the whole ad and don't see it posted yet. What's up with that lol... Ddoes it take a couple of minutes to post???

[jmupole1]

Sorry guys, I'm new to posting about the ad here, but in fine print below the turkeys it says with a $30 purchase and limit 1 per family.

Aw heck - How are any of us suppose to get to $30 in one transaction?!?!? :hysterical:

I'm sure it pre-Q though, prolly takes the discount when you hit total.

[jmupole1]

That's what I was thinking, it would almost have to be before coupons. So, any one of us can do that easily, but then take that total down to almost nothin lol...

I'd lay odds its preQ because of how the GE system works - there are no discounts that the cashier has to apply (Foodperks generates auto - they just have to approve it per customers okay) I'm thinking the computer applies it when you hit total, just like it does things like the free Wilton, and BOGO meats, etc. Then after you hit total you scan the Q's.

[Topazjules]

I wasn't a couponer a year ago and am curious about the turkey deal. Reading on the weekly ad post "Giant Eagle frozen Turkeys 49 cents lb. Won't be beat. Will match any competitor's ad on frozen turkeys." ... so does this mean they will only price match if you buy a GE brand frozen turkey and not do a brand-to-brand price match? Example: if you find a Butterball fresh turkey advertised somewhere for less than GE's Butterball price will they not price match that (and you walk out w/ a Butterball). Of course it never hurts to ask but I was just curious what is typical. And what are good prices to watch out for on fresh turkeys?

To the meat snobs out there ... how does the GE turkey compare to national brands (Butterball/Honeysuckle) and any fresh ones? I don't know what turkey I'm going to buy, cost & quality are both important. I spend extra for quality meat, especially "unadulterated" meat. I'd rather add my own ingredients than what some company's inject (see below). THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INPUT!
