Cheap Turkey

[237SJ]

Has anyone (thought I read it on here once) ever managed to get a last minute turkey at a ridiculous knockdown price from a supermarket just before closing on Christmas Eve? I`ve already got a turkey but was in Sainsburys just now and thought there might be some reductions but they`re still charging full price.

Thanks. I`ll have a look.

yes, last year I bought a free range bronze fresh turkey original price £35.95 for £9.50.

Blimey. I think I might go back just before closing as Sains is just down the road. I fancy putting something in the freezer for Easter.

I got one last year from Sainsburys a few days after Christmas 8.5kg weight - really huge! for ............... only £9! I put it in the freezer for Easter.
So keep your eyes peeled!

I always wait to the last moment. Waitrose turkeys were being knocked out at half price (I could have bought 50) and Tesco were selling some 75% off. Never saw any reductions at Sainsburys although they had plenty

JP Sainsbury's tend to let staff 'take a look' at reduced stuff, especially festive items. My friend, who works for Sainsbury's, managed to get me loads of Easter eggs (the small ones) for 10p each and then 5% discount which is rounded up so 9p per egg. He did the same for Christmas this year from the staff trolley that had turkeys on it.
