Limited turkeys?

Ive got an asda delivery booked for the 23rd Dec But looking today all their frozen turkeys/crowns are limited and need to be delivered by the 15th (far to early for me as need veg etc in same order).

Is it always like this? Or is there some special shortage this year?

  • I recall something from last year when loads of posters did not get their turkey that they had ordered delivered. Would be best to get one asap and put it in the freezer.

    For customers at my store, who want a small turkey/crown to order one at customer services. Our store's target is 100 and only received about 55 so far. Last date to order is 12th Dec. The reason I keep stressing customers to order as last year, the only available turkeys after 10am on both 23rd and 24th were huge 15lb+ ones.

    I have ordered mine, will pick up at 23rd. Must remember to pick up parents' cool box and a few ice packs earlier in the week. So its just a matter of paying the balance (minus £10 deposit), placing the turkey in the coolbox and driving to my parents.
