Turkey Rush

[Thatwinteryfeeling]

AIBU to think turkey prices will go up nearer Xmas and to buy a frozen one now? Not done xmas for as many people before as I am this year and I'm panicking

What??
Youre panicking in Oct about a turkey! 🥴

YABU.

How many people are you having?

I know ridiculous isn't it, just need to keep it as cheap as I can due to our situation this year (alot going on)

So frozen or fresh?

YABU. Poor turkeys. Grotesque business. Just have the veg etc and chill.

Just get a frozen one and bung in the oven.

@flouncyfanny thank you

You hear so many people spending a fortune on them and I'm thinking too much in to it.. fresh, frozen, organic, bronze, running free haha... I'll go with the frozen

No harm in buying it now. Frozen is a lot cheaper.

I'll get it ordered and stick it in the freezer.. job done

The majority of the ‘fresh’ ones are killed weeks before and then stored in CO2 to keep them fresh. If you have room for one in your freezer buy it in advance, it is likely to be just as nice.
Also go for a breast joint rather than a whole turkey, easier in every way and much smaller in the freezer

Thank you for your advice @smallpinkbear

I wouldn’t care much for the turkey as long as I could still have pigs in blankets.

Wait till 4pm on the 24th and get a organic, hand reared, Norfolk 5lber, pre seasoned with handpicked wild sage and streaky bacon from Lidl for £5:50 down from £32.

If you can hold your nerves that is.

@Alicelittle I'm already panicking in October, imagine what i would be like on as eve

@PrettyShiningPeople me too, myself and partner couldn't care and would probably buy a gammon, pur two kids wont eat it either but guests will expect a turkey
