"what the usda is predicting is that average turkey prices will be a $1.34 a pound and that's that's for eastern

market whole turkey, and... it's the wholesale price. "but while wholesale turkey costs are on the rise, prices at the grocery store tend to be stickier. experts say that's especially true at this time of costs are on the rise, prices at the grocery store tend to be stickier. experts say that's out offers to lure shoppers who take stew leonard's. between its four stores, the northeastern grocery chain expects to sell one million pounds of turkey from now until thanksgiving. ceo stew leonard jr says he's ok with pocketing less for the product "we want everybody to come in and buy mashed potatoes, buy gravy- we'll sell 15k quarts of gravy. obviously its more profitable than turkey" and stew leonard's isn't alone. across the u-s, many food retailers are eating the loss in favor of foot traffic.
