      Shady brook farms, it won’t be bad.

      I think stop and shop has it as a loss leader hoping we’ll get everything else there.

        Of course, it IS turkey, so it can only be so good. Not my favorite fowl.

          Frozen

          Butterball at Jewel is 99¢ a pound here.

          "Jennie-O" is 59¢.

          Kroger is 59¢
          Butterball is 88¢ (interesting)

          Fresh Butterball is $1.99

            This was fresh.

            Also, it’s $2.49/lb without the store discount club membership

              @George-K

              Here that Turkey is $11, which brings the total to $53. Which means it’s a hair less expensive than 2021

                If the turkey is $11.00, well that's a 4.4 lb turkey.

                  @LuFins-Dad

                  No, if got it for 69c a pound using my store card. It’s 13 lbs.

                  It would have been 2.49/lb without my store card.

                    Or about $40.

                    ETA: The fresh Butterball ($1.99) I posted is more expensive than the chart from the Farm Bureau ($1.81).

                      We spent about $4 a pound for our bird. Organic, non-gmo, free range, and fed truffles every day while listening to Italian Arias…

                        By the way, do we feel better if birds are free range? I mean, they are living their best lives when somebody cuts their lives short with an axe…

                        Birds living in those overcrowded pens? When death comes for them it’s a release… Freedom from their pain and suffering…

                          The ultimate would be to raise your own free-range turkey.

                              Wild turkey is good.

                              The bird ain't bad, either.

                                    Live music is once again tuned up after its pandemic lull. The Eleven Pipers grew in cost by a modest 2.6 percent – reflecting rising compensation in 2022..

                                    Musicians pay rates went up about 12% from 21-22. It really isn’t hard to google this shit…

                                      It’s a fun measure of inflation, but the article has several major flaws. First of which, it’s by PNC, which gets it two middle fingers from me right off the bat.

                                        Wonder what we will see today?

                                        While CPI was 7.1% last month, most of the items important to most people on a daily basis were much higher.

                                          Yeah saw a dozen eggs for $8 the other day. Luckily I'm pro-life and don't eat unborn chickens.
