Most of us will be cooking up a delicious turkey to serve on Thanksgiving Day, but guess what… you don’t have to pay for that turkey.
You can totally score yourself a free one!
There are tons of promotions going on from now until Thanksgiving day so that you won’t have to spend a penny. You should start looking out for promotions at your local grocery store now. Keep in mind that 20 lb. turkey cost about $25 at $1.25 per pound.
Many grocers offer free turkeys if you spend a certain amount but you don’t want to buy things you normally wouldn’t buy just to get the turkey because you’re really not saving money that way. You also don’t want to have to spend more than $100 to earn that turkey if you wouldn’t otherwise.
Some grocers offer a free turkey if you buy a ham, which would be worth it if you’ll eat that ham. You can also freeze that ham and save it for Christmas or your next upcoming holiday.
