A giant turkey has been spotted on sale in a supermarket for an eye-watering £136 – more than the cost of a flight to Turkey.
The 15lb organic bird in the ‘Best’ range is said to be big enough to feed 12 people.
The label said the bird had been ‘free to forage in open pastures’ and was ‘naturally slower growing for a fuller flavour and succulent texture’.
A shopper spotted it for sale at a Morrisons store in Sheldon, Birmingham.
A giant turkey has been spotted on sale in a supermarket for an eye-watering £136 – more than the cost of a flight to Turkey.
A shopper spotted it for sale at a Morrisons store in Sheldon, Birmingham.
The price is over £30 more than a flight from Birmingham to Turkey on December 29 – which is £104.
The shopper said: ‘I couldn’t believe it when I saw the price tag. I know food prices have rocketed.
‘But that seems like an awful lot to pay for a turkey.’ Morrisons has previously defended the price level of their ‘Best’ turkeys.
A spokesman said: ‘This turkey is the most premium organic product available in our offering and the price of £20 a kilo is in line with the market price.
‘A similar-sized turkey, Morrisons British large whole turkey, is available to buy for £4.99 per kg, costing around £31.44.’
