5 NJ Grocery Stores Giving Away Free Turkeys For Thanksgiving: See Where

Thanksgiving is around the corner, and many will be looking to snag a turkey. Some grocery stores across the country, including in New Jersey, are rewarding shoppers who spend a specific amount of money at their store to claim their free bird.

With grocery prices steadily rising, it might come as a relief for families to be able to snag a free turkey for their family feast.

According to outlook reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, wholesale prices for a turkey increased by roughly 40 percent compared to 2024. Experts said that the recent jump in price is expected to remain unchanged in 2026.

Other upticks include a five percent jump in canned vegetable prices and more expensive dinner rolls and pies, as well as some of the ingredients required to make them from scratch.

Overall, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 2.7 percent increase in "food at home" costs when comparing September 2024 to September 2025.
