Off The Net For An Hour Or So -- November 18, 2020

Sophia's school is holding its annual frozen turkey drive. I'm off to the neighborhood grocer to buy a Butterball or two and drop them off at the school. 

Good luck to all.

8:17 a.m. And I'm back. Success. Tom Thumb. Four turkeys. To Sophia's house for the photo op. And then to the school. 

**************************

A long way to go but I was one of the first to drop off turkeys: 222 turkeys is the record, set last year. We'll see if the pandemic has affected the drive.

Now, I won't feel so guilty about having a donut for breakfast. LOL

For Those Interested

Four turkeys. 

Three different brands:

• one Butterball
• two Honeysuckle turkeys
• one "organic" turkey (I "never" buy organic but I didn't want folks to think I was "cheap" -- LOL)
  

Butterball, 12 - 14 lb:

• regular price: $28.06
• member price: $17.47

Honeysuckle turkeys, 12 - 16 lb:

• regular price: $21.74
• member price: $9.78

Honeysuckle turkey, 16 - 20 lb: $29.56

• Organic Organic free range young turkey, 9 - 16 lb: $20.18

I didn't capture the weight of the four turkeys, but the ON (an organic) turkey was about 10 lbs; the expensive HS turkey was close to 20 pounds. I assume other four were about fourteen pounds each.

The HS turkeys were almost sold out. Plenty of Butterball were left. 

I think I saw $1.49/lb as the best price for a turkey. [Later: the ads show a Butterball turkey being sold for $1.59/lb -- I assume this is the "member/loyalty card" price.]
