Safeway Weekly: $4.99 turkeys (but are they a good deal?)

I got super excited when I saw the turkeys for five bucks each… but per pound, they really aren’t that great of a deal!

On Friday we’ll have a chart comparing prices on turkeys, hams, and more at all the stores around town, so I’ll leave the “rating” of the turkey for then.
