grocery PSA for carnivores in southeast USA
People who have the option to shop at a Publix grocery store, and eat meat, heads up for the week starting Wednesday, November 8th, 2023:
Store brand frozen turkeys are going on sale for $0.69/lb, limit two per purchaser.
If you don't have handy access to a Publix, check your own chain. I cannot imagine that Publix got a planetary exclusive.
If you have the space to store these in your freezer, for the Force's sake get Future You some affordable protein.
I cannot fit even one in my freezer at the moment. I'm going to be thawing it immediately, cooking it as soon as it's thawed, dismantling it, and carefully packing up the edible parts to feed us for at least the rest of the calendar year. I cannot afford the "normal" prices of poultry lately.
This is probably offered as a "loss leader" to get us into the store, buying other stuff; A++ planning on their part, because I will also pick up parsnips and other stuff from the produce department to help me create a marinade or injection or dry rub or something.
relevant disclaimer:
I do not work for Publix. Or for an advertisement agency. I do like how they handle food safety and restocking, and I appreciate how they took care of their employees during TornadoFest 2011.

I suddenly day-dreamed writing a campaign where all of the boss monsters were named after grocery stores.
The mighty Giant Eagle.
The terrible Food Lion.
The grotesque Piggly Wiggly.
And finally, the unknowable terror that is A.L.D.I.

I’ll never forget when I found out food lion wasn’t all over the country. It was back when I was living in Nashville and I had to go to the grocery store with two of my housemates. I was so upset when we walked into that fucking piggly wiggly 😭

The benefit of living alone is filling your fridge with whatever you want.
The downside is you have to be the one to fill it. (That’s tea in the mason jars - I brew it and chill it - the abandoned Pepsi is from my only friend who visits my apartment with any regularity - the condiments are for decoration only)
It’s good but it ain’t cheap.
Those sad abandoned string cheese sticks in the little drawer… how long have they been there?
I mean… I am willing to acknowledge my desire to eat fresh fruit translates into several hours of my labor but I suppose of all the things to spend your money on… I’m happy to spend it on fruit.
My ancestors would be amazed. Heck, even my parents would be amazed… I don’t think they’ve ever tried dragon fruit. But they should.
A few bags of beef jerky, a few frozen dinners, some toothpaste and toilet paper… cereal… some nuts… how quickly it adds up.
My soul leaves my body every time I check out at the grocery store.
