Last year the price of whole turkeys rose 7%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. As hosting holiday dinners becomes increasingly expensive, the financial burden on families also grows.

To combat this, retailers across the country are releasing big holiday deals.

Starting November 13, 2024, Grocery Outlet is offering a major holiday promotion. “Grocery Outlet is offering $3.99 for a whole 14- to 16-pound Jennie-O turkey when shoppers spend $35,” a spokesperson said in a press release. 

With this deal, you’ll pay only $0.29 per pound for a turkey, which is nearly half the price retailers like Walmart and Target are promoting nationally. For example, a whole turkey from Target costs about $0.79 per pound.
