Amid growing concerns about the supply and price of turkeys this year, Meijer is hanging its hat on value and well-stocked birds. Customers can purchase Meijer brand frozen turkeys for 33 cents per pound through Nov. 27, the retailer announced.
Additionally, Meijer is carrying a wide selection of small and large birds to accommodate all gathering sizes. The retailer is offering fresh, frozen, organic, and antibiotic-free birds. Meijer brand fresh turkeys cost 99 cents per pound and Butterball fresh turkeys come in at $1.99 per pound. There is a limit of two per customer on all fresh and frozen turkeys.
"Our highest priority is bringing value to our customers this holiday season," said Don Sanderson, group vice president of foods at Meijer, in a statement. "This Thanksgiving will be significant to many of our customers as they return to more 'normal' traditions, and we want to make celebrating that return easy by offering an affordable turkey for every gathering."
Meijer is also taking orders for its premade heat and serve Thanksgiving dinners.
The retailer offers a deluxe turkey dinner for $59.99, which includes a 10- to 12-pound prebaked Butterball turkey, home-style stuffing, roasted turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry relish, and a dozen King's Hawaiian dinner rolls. A deluxe ham dinner costs $59.99, which includes a 7- to 9-pound spiral ham, home-style stuffing, roasted turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry relish, and a dozen King's Hawaiian dinner rolls. Both dinners feed 8-10 people.
