I haven't really had to buy a turkey before and I see all sorts of crazy prices from $.29 to off brand to $1.29 for brand names. I want to get a turkey for "whenever" and am wondering if prices are typically cheapest before Thanksgiving, after Thanksgiving, or maybe after Christmas? So now I guess I just post filler since I haven't reached the 300 character limit?
Cheapest Time of year to Buy a Turkey?

Some stores have deals before the thanksgiving holiday, especially the spend x amount, get a free turkey specials. Otherwise, after the holidays if they don’t sell well, there will be markdowns.
Turkey is cheap but also other items like stuffing and gravy. It’s a good thyme to stock up.
They always sell out around me at the cheap prices. You will never find Turkey 0.29/lb any other time than the holidays and I’ve never seen them that cheap here, so I’d definitely get one or two at that price. I buy 3 every year for my freezer. After the holidays they will go right back to $3+/lb.
Publix’s in Florida has 49 cents per pound turkey sale limit 2 until the 18th
Now is the time
After Thanksgiving.
Now is the time. I usually buy 2 or 3 and quarter them
Last year I also got flour for $0.50/lb. I’ll be stocking up on that this year too.
