What Store Has the Cheapest Thanskgiving Fixings?
Even if you're not hosting a Thanksgiving dinner this week, this is a great time to stock up on your frozen turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing and whatnot.
The Frugal Mom's Kitchen, who is much more organized than me, already created a spreadsheet showing where in Chicago to get the cheapest turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and a few other items. She even put it on a spreadsheet.
As I suspected, she has Jewel's frozen Jennie-O as the cheapest at 37 cents after the $10 coupon (get one in Sunday's flyer or in the flyer at the store). They have the best sweet potatoes too at 28 cents a pound. Aldi has cranberries at the best price at 89 cents. Target has Stove Top stuffing at 79 cents, and Campbell's cream of mushroom for 49 cents.
Here are a few other Thanksgiving dinner items and the best prices I see in Chicago-area stores:
Pan's in Oak Park has cream cheese at 89 cents. Ultra Foods has butter at 98 cents a pound with in-flyer coupon, and Cool Whip at 68 cents, broccoli crowns at 38 cents a pound. Ultra also has 4 12-packs of Pepsi or RC products @ $9.88.
Dominick's has Sara Lee premium pies for $4.99, use the $1/1 coupon on RedPlum. I can vouch that these are delicious, we had the pecan yesterday.
I don't have an ad for the legendary Caputo's or other smaller bargain groceries in the Chicago area. But if you have a local neighborhood deal to share, pipe up.
I'm not advising running to all these stores for individual pieces of your Thanksgiving dinner, but if you need that one more thing, you can pick which store to hit.
