I saw a similar flyer from Albertsons in TX. Usually when Albertsons has a
special on anything, beware..the item is near death. Those turkeys may have
been in the freezer since last Thanksgiving. I'm going to check into the
price of a somewhat *natural* bird.


Yep, it's Albertson's in TX. It really doesn't matter if the turkey has
been in the freezer 2 or 3 years, as long as it's been kept below 0
degrees it's perfectly fine. It takes a lot longer than that for any
deterioration of quality and it will stay safe indefinitely.

Back from Albertson's with a rain check for the free turkey. Another
truckload is expected tomorrow. With that kind of turnover I doubt the
turkeys have been around very long at all, highly unlikely since last
year.
