GET THEM WHILE THEY CHEAP  LOL

Photobucket

Dan's Market in 1958

In 1948, Dan Sr. began a new state-of-the-art supermarket on the northwest corner of 2100 East and 2100 South. His sudden and unexpected death prevented him from seeing that new store open on his birthday in January of 1949. His son, Dan S. Gardiner, Jr. stepped in and saw that store through its completion and took the helm of what was known as Dan's Foods, Inc.. The company thrived under his care for over 50 years.

thats what i thinking ..50 years ago and the price wasn't that much lower whats up with that?

Maybe turkey's weren't in such high supply as they are now.  Were all turkey's wild 50 years ago or something like that?

When I started the business, we sold hardly nothing but 18's and up, Thanksgiving was a big family thing in those days and women still COOKED  LOL the table was loaded !! I remember customers bringing us plates of food to share the season with us. their was so much everyone in the market could even take some home when they got off. This was the day before and for two days after lol

A turkey flashback lol

Once I was throwing turkeys in a big grocery buggy for the wrappers to weigh, every time I threw a turkey the buggy would roll backwards, I kept having to come out of the cooler to bring it back to the door, it was a step up in cooler, I finally told one of the wrappers to come hold the buggy, she was in one of her smart ass moods, told me to kiss her ass, I had a big tom in my hands and threw it at her, she was a good ways back from the door, it hit the floor and I almost took her out like a blowing pin LOl  she had to jump up in the air for it to go under her feet. she was good to me for a few days after that lol  But after a few months her smart ass mouth caused me to put a boning knife 4 inches into my leg, payback is HELL  lol

though stores sell turkeys for crazy amounts, there are two things to consider though. 1. if you sell a turkey(frozen) for thanks giving, no doubt you will lose 40 to 70 cents per pound off the cost. the stores are betting that the mark up on other items will cover the loss, and/or they require a purchase of say maybe 20 dollars in the store to get the sale price. 2. i assume the above picture would probably mean fresh turkeys not frozen, and bought by the head and not per pound. they may of even got them live and killed them their selves.

During Thanksgiving, we usually go with the Jennio brand and Butterball. Jennios go for around .59 on hens and .69 toms. BB goes for .99lb. And of course there's a $ amount to go with the turkey. Around $25.00 with purchace.

$.39? I wonder if it was loaded with "Flavor enhancers" like Jennio and Butterball are now! I only handle 100% all-natural and 100% organic turkeys. All-natural are $1.99/lb and Organic are $2.99/lb. I don't need all the junk they pump into birds now!

I sell turkeys for about $6 a pound, looking to buy about 20 tons of frozen whole birds if anyone knows an exporter.
