When you just have to let go..

Agreed phoenix that weight thing is very strange. Mr Roses bought a large frozen turkey but looked for the smallest in that range so it would be exactly the weight that he wanted to buy. I did point out that he could have bought the largest [we're not made of money] but he was happy to have one that was the weight he wanted.Men eh?

We always buy a turkey crown. No one likes the legs in our family so less waste!

Charleygirl according to the websites, Tesco small frozen turkey is £12, Sainsbury's £12.50

phoenix there is no way that I could afford to buy a small turkey here this year- £50+. I suppose that supermarkets can get away with it because it is London. I am amazed at the price that you have paid.

The'fish lady' in T***o this morning told DH that from noon on Christmas eve there will be loads of things half price in the fresh food section. It will freeze and they have lots of stock. I shall send him and wait here with the freezer bags at the ready!

They all seem to do it vamp, class them as small, medium, large, extra large etc, with the same price across the weight range in each category. I have seen this in Morrisons, Lidl and Tesco.

Paying the same price for different weights just doesn't sound right at all.

Oh good is it sherry time - I need a boost today.

I think I need a sherry too so that I can decipher it.

I'll have what she's having!

Have you been at the sherry, phoenix?

Whatever happened on my OP! [tchsshock]

And it's not quite right!

If you're paying the same amount (i.e £16.00 for a turkey that weighed 3.9kg as you might pay the exactly the same amount for one that weighed a bit over 5kg,

I suppose it's a case of Early bird catches worm, but living where I do I wouldn't be easy!
