..the Price of a Turkey!?

This week the photo below showed up in my inbox of one of my email accounts.  This photo was  taken in Arctic Bay...(this hasn't been verified..and perhaps it was just a 'mistake'...but still a funny one?!)hehee

Here's the Stats on this bird....(in case you can't see it in the photo):
11.115kg net weight at $18.00/kg which makes the TOTAL price = $200.07
I  hope that bird is a GRADE A Turkey!! (and it better stuff and cook itself too-and prehaps clean up the kitchen after dinner!!)


So this got me thinking... how much does a turkey go for in Pang?! hmmmmm I went down to the store las night to do some shopping for food... and took this photo below.....
The Stats of Pang's Bird is:
8.420 kg net weight at $6.89/kg forthe TOTAL price of $58.01!!!


I talked to my Mum last night... and asked how much her turkey cost... and she laughed at my inquiry but I just told her I was doing 'research'.... The stats of the 'Bird' that my brothers, sister-in-laws, nephews and mum will enjoy later tonight are:    8.03kg net weight at $2.18/kg for the TOTAL price of $17.51

....puts it all into perspective... hope you enjoy your turkey this weekend wherever you find yourself...
Have a HAPPY and SAFE THANKSGIVING!!!

Where'd your Mum get that turkey? We picked up a 10 pound frozen one yesterday for $24 - that's for our early Christmas with the in-laws. But we bought a fresh one for $2.69/lb - pretty standard - $5.91/kg - not as bad as the Pang - but not as big a difference as one might think!

But the one for $200 is unreal!

Our $17 turkey has been in my freezer all summer. We bought it in the spring when the Foodland had an amazing $1/lb deal on turkeys.

Mum got it from Dana and Jamie...(and they like to shop ahead) which is awesome!! :)

I agree $200 is unreal!
