Not really, around me anyway $0.39/lbs is as cheap as it gets, before or after Thanksgiving.

If I can get it for $0.39/lbs before Thanksgiving I'll buy what I can and stock up for the year.
If my freezer isn't full after Thanksgiving and they're still $0.39/lbs then I'll pick up more until my freezer is filled. I currently have 5 turkeys. One will be eaten for Thanksgiving, so I'll probably minimally pick up one more after Thanksgiving.

I like to do roast turkey every 2-3 months throughout the year, so 5-6 should last me until next year.

you can eat two meals of turkey a day for a year for only 387. I did this math when I saw them on sale like 2 weeks ago. I looked up freezers and one said you can only fit 6 turkeys in it. so it would cost $2400 dollars to store the 36 turkeys that you would need for the year

[Anonymous No.17016106]

>>17016078
That would be a tiny-ass chest freezer.

My small chest freezer easily fits 8-10 turkeys. A larger chest freezer (which would only run ~$1000) should easily fit 10-15 turkeys with ease. Unless you're buying only massive 25+lbs birds, then maybe cut 2-3 turkeys from that guess.
I'd guess you'd need 3 large chest freezers to fit 36 turkeys (with some room leftover).

And of course those freezers are good for storing other shit (ever want to buy half a cow but didn't have the freezer space? Now you do)
and they'll still be good in a decade, so you can spread out that upfront cost over many years to get your money's worth.

I personally just have a single chest freezer and I store 5-6 turkeys in there every November that will last me throughout the next year. I've thought about buying another and stocking up on other meats more regularly when I see them on sale (pork shoulder/butt, buying a large portion of a cow, more turkeys, etc)
