For four people, this year I ordered a 22-24 lb. bird. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-turkey#post-1233015 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:57:27 +0000 regberadaisy 1233015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually pay about $80 for a 16-18 lb fresh, never frozen, hormone free, free range turkey from a local farm.<br /> It's super expensive but gosh darn it is it worth it!<br /> We make turkey a few times a year and the fresh bird is SO much better than the store birds. Our store birds go down to 29cts a lb!</p> <p>@Mamaof2: I lurve turkey so even for DH and I we get a whole turkey and eat the dark meat then use the breast meat for sandwiches the next day! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-turkey#post-1233009 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:56:28 +0000 Mamaof2 1233009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for 4 people I would just get a turkey breast. They usually go on sale for about $1 per lb around here - so yes $25 would be enough </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-turkey#post-1232996 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:54:34 +0000 hellocupcake 1232996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to work at a grocery store and 25 will definitely buy a turkey. You just have to get a smaller turkey, maybe 15/16 lbs?

DH's company gave us a coupon of $25 off of a turkey and I'm wondering if it will cover the cost of the turkey or not? We're doing a small T-day meal with just the 4 of us (DH, LO's and I). </p>
