Half price turkeys Christmas Eve

budeman

So after getting some last minute food shopping in last Christmas and seeing the turkey that I had just bought half price (and there were a LOT left) my wife and I have decided to take the risk and try and get one this year once they drop in price.

We have bought other meat so if the plan fails we will still eat Christmas day but I was just wondering if anyone else did this or if anyone had any tips about what time to buy etc.

Many thanks.

I saw lots in Tesco last Christmas Eve and was wondering about daring to do the same as you, but I dont think I can stand the stress!! Just come on here to see if anybody has any tips about where to buy the best value for money turkeys.

It was around 4pm, but yes they did reduce at around 3pm as staff told me I had missed out on all cakes! Good Luck.
