    thank you- it needs to be a fresh one that i can pick up a couple of days before as i only have a small freezer and there is no way that it would fit, whereas i have 2 fridges. Couple of years ago Somerfield had them for £10

    Thanks again, if I spy anything on offer, I shall come back and update

    Cheers, QoC

    Hi a large frozen turkey will take 2 days to defrost in your fridge and will save you some money on fresh.(just a thought)

    Coop has them £8/kg, plenty in stock in my local, but expect they will disappear quickly over next few days. I don't have the guts to wait til Christmas Eve hoping for price reduction. I'm too worried about them running out!
  • I got a fresh turkey butterfly breast from Makro today 4.19 kilos for £18 think its £4.49 per kilo.

    They also had smaller ones for £10 for 2 kilos. Not sure how this compares but we had one last year and everyone enjoyed it.

    I actally got it quite reduced last year at last minute, but couldn't risk it this year.

    Got a fresh crown at Sainsbury's today at £7.99 a kilo - they had all sizes from about £10 up to over £23 (in the chiller section I looked at). I had tried our local market first - smallest was over £18, then a local deli where they seemed to start at over £20, all for the same sort of size, so I was pleased with my £13 one which will feed two of us, (and the cat!), for a few days. And if we get bored with roast turkey I'll do my usual thing of freezing slices of it in gravy, to be brought out in January or February.
  • got 3 turkey crowns 30% cheaper in lidl today sbd 26th so I will freeze them cost around £20 for 3 with reductions and fresh too. Looks like lidl are starting to reduce things and had lots in although turkeys were running low.
