Same here at Walmart in San Jose. Butterball Premium is $1.18/lb.Just checked at Walmart and they now have 10 lb. and up Jenny-O birds for $ .98/lb.
That's a hard question to answer. We always get butterballs for the holiday meals and the ones we pick up on sale are usually the off brands or store brands. Both of us can tell the difference between those no matter how long we've had them in the freezer. I cooked one up in September that was in the freezer from Thanksgiving of last year and it was fine. Although my 75 year old taste buds probably aren't as sharp as they used to be.Rich, can you tell any difference in taste in a turkey that has been frozen a year and a turkey that is new?
