I ordered a 21lb fresh turkey from the local butcher boned and rolled,when dh picked it up xmas eve he nearly passed out with fright from the bill!
Thinking we were conned i would like to know how much yours cost.
so please how much did yours cost?

turkeys were v v v expensive this year.

Ours, a 14lber, cost abotu 30 quid

my 12.5lb turkey was £35 from the butcher
Dh was really worried about how much it was going to be as he thought it would be nearer £60
How much did it cost you then?

Ours was free, thanks to DP's footie pal who is a butcher

BVloody nice it was too

got a goose 5kg for 16 quid

MIne was half price in Somerfield, I had to get a medium 3.5 kg as the small ones had gone so paid £10 instead of £8, apparently there were queues outside on Sat morning, now I understand why, I just though that's how much they cost.

Ours was a free range one and cost £39 for an 11lb one!

We paid £21 for a 5.2lb turkey crown. (From independent butcher.)

when i ordered at the end of october i was told 21lb and over would be 2.65 a lb but because you cant guarantee the bird to be exactly 21lb i couldn't pay until i collected.
I paid a £10 deposit and by my calculation i though it would be around £56.00 and sent my dh with £60 in case they said something like there is a small charge for boning and rolling (i didn't think to ask when i ordered if there was a charge for this) but alas he had to get the credit card out!

Was it still 2.65 per lb?

How much did you pay in the end?

And was it delicious?

I win (or lose). I ordered a 10-12 lb free-range turkey. I sent my husband to collect it and the -fucking conman- lovely butcher gave him a 17 pounder. It cost ?100! I'm surprised my husband didn't faint dead away! Its a good job I like turkey and am willing to be creative with leftovers. Also my guests were all gannets, so we managed to eat about half of it!

Free range organic Kelly Bronze breast only - £32 - would feed 6-8 (said it only fed 4 but think they underestimated

Thought that was a great price - imo birds should be expensive and they should have a good life

OMG glasto do you live in an affleunt area?
thats £5.88 a lb.

wangle £4.03
c/pres £3.54
harman £3.56
whoops £2.80
orchide £2.14

Im feeling a bit better now

it was lovely with plenty left over but it did leave a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth.

We had a roast Gammon (just us 4 for dinner, and kids aren't that excited about turkey) ANYHOO, we got the gammon at tescos - any gammon over £20 was supposed to be £5 off, but at the til, the whole amount for the joint was taken off. It was super yummy!!!

Paid £45 for a 14lb (M&S free range). Gorgeous.

ours cost £70 for a free ranger (feeds 13)

Bloody expensive but i watched some programme on battery turkeys and couldnt bring myself to buy a frozen bernard matthews one after that!

i did taste good though!

IT tasted good! lol

We had an Aberdeen Angus ready to roast beef joint from M&S, think was about £10. It was sooooo lovely.
And no we are not rich we normally shop in Asda & Tesco.
Turkey is something I have on a regular basis, usually get the breast steaks and using in casseroles and stirfries, so nothing special, where as roast beef is a rare treat!

Free Range cost £33 @ £5.99 per kg/£2.72 per lb I think

Mine cost £60 from the butchers, but it was a to feed about 10/12

free range £3.50 per lb.

£65 for a 12lber, It was from Copas,But then we didn't even get to eat it.Don't mention the war.

We had a 14lb turkey which we ordered through the butchers. We had 9 people to feed from it and wanted to have some left over for sandwiches/curry etc. It cost £46 - which my mum very kindly paid for . It was delicious.
