Grocery stores already have their own versions of Black Friday they just don’t get advertised. Go in a couple days before and a couple days after major holidays and you. An always get good stuff for cheap. I bought a ham a couple weeks ago around Canadian thanksgiving and the price was at least 1/3 of what they would normally charge. After Indian festivals, I usually go to the store and can get desserts like ras malai for $1-$2 instead of $13.
The only thing that usually doesn’t get a big discount that is brought in for the holidays is turkey, since the price is already almost at a loss and they can stay frozen until Christmas if the store has room (and a good manager would make sure they can keep an order until Christmas frozen in the back to alleviate order issues during that time.)
yeah. There will be some whole turkey deals in the next week or two in the us that are just insane.
They haven’t even replaced the sign for them in a couple stores near me, but the prices are pretty cheap already. I’m considering buying one of the bigger whole turkeys and just butchering it at home to make a bunch of different meals. The $16 ham I got ended up lasting me and my fiancé about 10 meals between the ham and the soup from the ham bones.
I have a seperate freezer and we stock it up and it lasts till spring.
We plan on getting a small chest freezer for exactly this. And Costco full pork loins.
are they like the sams ones where its like 3ft because if so ssshhh. we don't want folks to know.
No clue, we don’t have Sams Club. But I could usually get a middle roast, and about 6 chops from each side.
