Our local Tesco has already started reducing turkeys, tenner off most including crowns, most were a third off. Obviously they will be further reduced tomorrow but a third off is a good start and saves the Christmas Eve battle tomorrow

i bl00dy hate the scrum during the reductions... i've come across them occasionally during a late evening shop from work and it's feral... there are gangs who park themselves right next to the poor junior staff member sticking on the final stickersof the day and they just rugby pass them out of their hands and into their trolley to sort out the ones they actually want around the corner... or you get the ones that fill their basket with slightly reduced stuff and then insist on walking around with them for a while until the poor junior comes around once more with the price gun to reduce the last bits on the shelves and then they get them to again reduce the stuff in their baskets too... there are families who seem to be there whenever i go, whatever day, week or month i go... like the ok corral but with elbows and wire trolleys instead of guns. i'd blame it on the chavs but they have them in waitrose too...

I remember seeing a scrum once where people were passing item after item over their heads along a line until the things found their way into one big trolley - really funny then seeing somebody else standing alongside that trolley discretely taking their pick of the best things (when the person turned their back to receive the next items) and deftly passing them behind to their wife who put them in her trolley. I sat back and chuckled as I watched this go on for several minutes until they couple at the back had filled their trolley and they casually walked away.
It was even funnier seeing the group of people that had grabbed everything stand looking at their trolley afterwards and clearly knowing something wasn't right - you could see they were thinking "Where the hell has that xxxxx gone, and where is the xxxxx??".
Serves them right.

no they were not....medium ones were exactly the same price - £11 and in Tesco you got a Bernard Mathews Golden Norfolk for that.

And they have been 50% off since Tuesday.Turkeys take of a lot of shelf/freezer space, something that ALDI does not have a lot of, so they are clearing out to make room for their regular stuff. Everything needs to be cooked carefully to avoid food poisoning. I would have thought there are very few people who don't know that already.
Turkeys for sale in supermarkets have always 'expired'. If you want live ones you have to get them from a farm!

Easily. Just wrap them well. I normally carve them up raw though and cook them throughout the year.

Damn it, I've already bought both a lobster AND a chicken for this year; well might as well knock it out of the ball park this year and grab a turkey too..
