At my store, they have a buy a huge ham get a turkey free. -- nm - Qale Nov 8, 18:01 6
- I still have a ham in the freezer from Easter? Memorial weekend? but I'll buy another one if there's a deal. -- nm - Meg Nov 8, 18:11 5
  - it would take me forever to go thru a whole ham. but I do buy loins and brine & smoke them to make Canadian Bacon -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 8, 18:15 4
    - I slice and freeze them - and yes, they last forever. And I leave a lot on the bone and make ham and bean soup. -- nm - Meg Nov 8, 18:28 3
      - And have you noticed they no longer differentiate between shank and butt halves? I have to be really careful to get the good one. -- nm - Meg Nov 8, 18:30 2
        
        I know what to do :) but I just do not eat a lot of ham. bacon, ribs & pulled pork are what I mainly do -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 8, 18:56 1
        
        from the pork family -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 8, 18:57
i dunno. they did have to slaughter millions because of the bird flu in the spring, but it seems like prices might only be up 5-10%....nm - x Nov 8, 17:27
I will get the same deal I always get. Buy $50 in groceries and get a turkey for .19 a pound -- nm - Bacon Nov 8, 17:19 7
- Amateur. :-) I try to spend as little on groceries so I can go into Fred Meyer the weekend before Thanksgiving, spend $150, and get a free turkey. - ReluctantCynic Nov 8, 17:53 2
  - But when you spend 150 at Fred Meyer you could get 215 dollars worth of food at Wi co for the same money. My turkey will cost 4 bucks after discount - Bacon Nov 8, 18:08 1
    - Like I said ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 8, 18:11
- We haven't had deals like that in a couple of year. .59/lb is about the best we've had. -- nm - Meg Nov 8, 17:31 3
  - Winco up here has done that deal for 6 years running. -- nm - Bacon Nov 8, 17:31 2
    - We also get a christmas tree for $15 so it pays to be near the stuff you need. -- nm - Bacon Nov 8, 17:32 1
      - and to keep a list of the little stuff to make sure you top the $50 minimum -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 8, 17:45
