NC Local Market Specials 11/5 - 11/11 2025

[BBillFleet]

Notable market specials in the greater Charlotte NC exurb - check your local sales flyers as well (YMMV).

Well, the 2025 Turkey Derby has officially begun! Leading the pack is LIDL, with their medium-brand turkeys starting at 25 cents a pound! This involves a digital coupon through their app, with a limit of two. Somewhat behind them is ALDI, with Jenni-O turkeys at 77 cents, and with a limit of 1. HT opens with Butterball turkeys at 99 cents a pound - but they're Butterballs, which are almost never at this price point. Food Lion is holding fast to their standard pricing for now - maybe next week.

Now to discuss these:

• LIDL is requiring their special to go through a digital coupon tied to your account. This is probably to enforce the 'two-per-customer' limit, and preventing anyone from getting two, coming right back in, and getting two more. Good for them.
• ALDI is limiting us to 1 turkey. but probably only 1 per shopping trip. So one could game this if they want to.
• HT has Butterballs at 99 cents / lb. No stated limit. But beware: the 99-cent pricing is in their sales flyer, and NOT in their standard lookup.

Beyond that, there are a lot of good specials this week, especially at Food Lion. Everybody is aimed their sales goals at people who want to stock up before the holiday, and and beyond. ALDI is already pushing Christmas baking and Advent Calendars, and LIDL is following suit. We'll be seeing a great deal of pressure on those who are desperately seeking happiness through baking and entertaining. It's all good, guys! Calm down, and lean in to the holidays with a more basic approach, please!

Thankyou once again.

As you say, "check your sales flyers." Last week my Food Lion in NC didn't have the pork butts on sale.

I know, right? I sometimes find myself accidentally summarizing the Food Lion flyers for a different area (like, say, Salisbury) and they will have VERY different specials than Charlotte. (I often write this during breaks on my work laptop, and it seems to think I'm in Virginia half the time.)
