Across the city, turkeys come in all shapes for all budgets. Whole Foods has a handy chart to explain the range between frozen turkeys and heritage or heirloom turkeys. A fresh turkey will run you $1.29 per pound at Hen House (with your Rewards card). If you're looking for frozen turkey, Price Chopper has a Best Choice turkey for 40 cents per pound (with a $25 purchase). Hy-Vee has a certified organic turkey for $2.99 per pound. And if you want to let somebody else handle the turkey, Fritz's Smoked Meats has small (8 lbs., $55.99), medium (11 lbs., $71.99), and large turkeys (15 lbs., $89.99).
Other weekend observations from area grocery stores:
If you're looking for a Ripple Glass recycling bin, they've started to appear at Price Choppers. This stack was just inside the door at 103rd and State Line. "People are getting them," the cashier told me when I asked if anybody was buying the bins. The store is open 24 hours so you can get yours whenever you like.
Finally, Kellogg's Rice Krispies are heavily on sale at the Prairie Village Hy-Vee (7620 State Line Road). Perhaps that has something to do with the Immunity claim on the box -- which Kellogg's has pledged to pull amid criticism that the marketing is in poor taste in light of the current climate of fear over the H1N1 virus. The packaging will be phased out over the next few months, but the extra, added antioxidants which form the basis for the claim will remain inside Rice Krispies.
