Hopefully everyone has been able to finish the majority of their Christmas shopping as we approach the week before Christmas. The one thing that is typically left on everyone’s list is Christmas Dinner. Have no idea what a good price-point is for Turkey or Ham?? I’ve got ya covered!
I’ve gone through all the grocery ads for this week and put together a list of the best ADVERTISED prices on hams, spiral hams and turkeys for Christmas dinner. The best prices are highlighted in RED.
However, to give you a rough idea:
- Look for Spiral Hams in the $1.49- $1.70ish range. (It’s a little higher than our price point from last year.)
- Turkey’s should be in the $.99- $1.25 per pound range–depending on the brand. More premium brands like Butterball, could be more expensive. But I try to not pay more than $1.50 per pound.
Target:
- Butterball 10-24lb premium frozen turkey $0.99/pound
- Archer Farms Spiral Sliced Honey Ham $1.99/pound
Walmart:
- Sam’s Choice Bone-In Spiral Cut Ham $1.94/pound
- Half Bone-In Ham $1.54/pound
- Frozen Bone-In Turkey Breast $1.63/pound
Smith’s (My local Kroger store):
- Sugardale Spiral-Sliced Ham $1.59/pound
- Honeysuckle Turkey Breast $1.49/pound
Macey’s:
- Hormel Bone-In Spiral Half Ham $1.79/pound
- Farmland Boneless Whole Ham $1.99/pound
- Cooks Shank Portion Ham $1.19/pound
Fresh Market:
- Hormel Bone-In Spiral Cut Half Ham $1.79/pound
- Cooks Shank Portion Ham $1.19/pound
- Farmland Whole Lean Boneless Ham $1.99/pound
- John Morell Sugar or On-The-Bone Smokes Ham $4.99/pound
Hope that price point and a handful of advertised prices for Ham & Turkey this week can save you some time & money! Don’t forget that if you are purchasing other items for your Christmas Dinner, to check the Ibotta App and Checkout51 App. I’m betting a lot of ingredients or groceries you are purchasing will be on there. That way, you can get cash back for your groceries!
Here is how Ibotta Works:
- Create your account.
- Check out what offers they have going.
- Head to any grocery store and purchase the participating items. **You can even use any coupons you already have!!
- Upload a copy of your receipt
- And they will give you cash back!
So instead of having to have coupons for all of the items you want to save on. You can just submit your receipt and get cash sent back to you!
Here is how Checkout 51 Works:
- Create your account.
- Check out what offers they have going.
- Head to any grocery store and purchase the participating items. **You can even use any coupons you already have!!
- Upload a copy of your receipt
- And they will give you cash back!
So instead of having to have coupons for all of the items you want to save on. You can just submit your receipt and get cash sent back to you! Want another easy $2? Just submit any grocery receipt totaling $20 or more.
Once your account hits $20 in cash back, you can cash out. However, you can use Checkout51 with an app. Or, you can use their Internet version. So everyone can use this one!

Inexperienced ham ccoker, but will be having one on Christmas. Will the ham stay good in the fridge for a week without feeezing and do you Utah shoppers find stores run out of hams if you wait to long. I am imagining a Christmas with Kranks sittuation and not wanting to go through that ;).
Shauna
I will have to help my mom get this deal.

We have a big dinner Christmas Eve at my in-laws, so I’ll pass this info on to my mother-in-law. On Christmas day we are with my family and don’t like the hassle so we eat appetizers all day and sandwiches from Wal-Mart for dinner. No stress holiday has saved my mother’s sanity and mine for the last 3 years.
Angeana
When we find a stock up price on ham/turkey, we buy a few, cook them, cut off the meat, & freeze. It saves space in the freezer & is already cooked, cut, and ready to pull out and use! It’s a great money and time saver! We have also tried making turkey jerky which tasted amazing!! So many possibilities!!
Jenicia Beckstrand
Thank you! I never know what to pay for Ham
Lindsay Robbins
Yum. It always reminds me of Christmas with the cranks!
Brittney Peterson
Thank you for this!
