Just popped out to our local for a few last minute bits, bagged a 9.5kg turkey originally £44 down to £13, overheard a cashier mention a £5 off voucher so hubby went off and found one, it scanned fine so paid £8 in the end. That's my freezer curries sorted for a few months


HTH.

    they were reducing them to rock bottom prices at Waitrose this afternoon too. I suspect just about all the supermarkets are doing the same as they don't really want them left when they close today!
  • Yes I think this is true. I got a free range turkey in Aldi this afternoon half price just shows if you can hold on till the last minute there are great bargains to be had.

    Odd...why don't Tesco freeze them and sell 'em later.
  • Do you think they'll all be gone by now.............?

    Sods Law.
    Last year when I left it until the last minute I was rushing around the stores like a headless....... Turkey.
    Managed to get one at the last minute, but it made for a stressful Christmas eve as most stores around me have very few birds left.

    This year I bought a frozen crown a couple of weeks ago - and today virtually every store I went into had whole fridges full of Turkeys.
    Even though I didn't need one I bought a fresh one to cram into the freezer (I hope)
    Was originally £54, I got it for £9..... (Cannot resist a bargain:o)This was an organic free-range black feathered thing.....
    Looks nice and healthy (apart from being dead, headless and plucked of course.
    This was from Tesco who had tonnes left (or rather flocks ??!)
    Turkeys in Waitrose stores were only half price
    Sainsburys had none left, well certainly none reduced at 4pm

    I cannot get over the folk in Tesco who had several enormous Turkeys in their trolleys, but were still willing to get physical to grab even more when staff brought them out.
    Some Turkeys were so huge I don't think I would have been able to carry it - so heaven knows how big their freezers and ovens are !!

    They can't freeze them if they say fresh on the packaging what doesn't sell will be binned...there were loads of Turkeys everywhere I went this morning.

  • I noticed ASDA had started reducing all of their Christmas range about 1pm this afternoon, cheese boards, turkeys, speciality x-mas range to about haf price or more. Unfortunately working this eve so no last minute bargains for me :(

    Lidl were doing frozen for 9.99 and fresh for 15. I wonder what they reduced theirs to? Why pay 30 or 40 when lidl are so cheap?


    So everyone buying a cheap reduced one at a normal supermarket isn't getting it much cheaper than lidl full price, plus you need to add the cost of making the extra trip to the supermarket.

    Sainsburys had loads of turkey's left but they didn't reduce them at all ! I got fed up of waiting alongside a few other people....left the store at 5.55pm and they closed at 6pm......wish I'd gone to Tesco now grrrrrrrrr :mad:
