Can this be right?

I have just been to Morrisons and was looking at the frozen turkeys. Bernard Matthews large frozen ready basted turkeys were £41 !!!!!!! Smaller ones were between £30 and £40!! Is this the Christmas price?

    OMG!!!! I've got £46 in saving stamps so that'll be the turkey and stuffing sorted!!!!!
  • is it a turkey you were buying or a whale!!!! :eek:
  • Probably a pre-Christmas-reduction price (OK - call me cynical, but I always think the "actual" prices of turkeys are a bit too high!)

  • They are legally obliged to have sold items at a certain price in some stores before they can go on offer. Asda are terrible for this Pasta for instance will be 60p, it will then rise in price for a couple of weeks to 80p. After this they will roll the price back to 62p and you are meant to think that you have gotten a bargain.
