Did You Qualify For Your Free Thanksgiving Turkey Yet?

The Shoprite at the Cheltenham Mall has a promotional Thansgiving promotion where if you spend $300 or more then you can get a free turkey by Thanksgiving. Of course they have been having this promotion for many years now and now that time of the year has rolled around again.

People tell me and I have to agree with them wholeheartedly that its not too difficult to spend over $300 at the Shoprite if you have about a month and a half to do it. Many people (myself included) have gone shopping at the Shoprite to buy something and end up buying more than originally planned! The store always has a sale going on and sometimes there will be a sale (or sales) on an item that hasn't been advertised in their circular which is delivered to the immediate area. I get a circular every week since I am located near it and live in the near area. So I know that means that the residents in LaMott and Cheltenham get the circular in the mail and I'm sure that there are immediate areas like Wyncote, Mt Airy and maybe even northeast Philadelphia that get the Shoprite circular as well.

I know that the other area supermarkets have similar promotions. I'm sure that both Acme and Pathmark have their own Thanksgiving turkey promotions as well but since I mostly do my grocery shopping at the Shoprite, I'm mostly acquainted with their turkey promotion.

I do know that Shoprite is going to be busy for the next few weeks - those days leading up to Thanksgiving when everybody will be shopping for Thanksgiving. So the sooner you qualify and get your turkey the sooner you'll avoid the Shoprite "rush"!

November 13, 2007 - got my "free" turkey today!

It's kind of interesting because someone mentioned to me that the earlier you get your turkey you stand a better chance at having a better selection to choose from and this was certainly true when I picked my turkey today. There were a lot of turkeys in supply at the Shoprite this particular day and it will be interesting to see how it goes as the days go by leading up to Thanksgiving.

*By the way Shoprite will be open on Thanksgiving Day in case you have to do some last miniute shopping
