It is time to commence the preparation of your Thanksgiving buying list, particularly if you wish to obtain a complimentary turkey this November. If you have the honor of hosting the most significant dinner of the year, the additional savings may be greatly valued.
In line with its annual tradition, BJ’s Wholesale Club is providing complimentary Butterball turkeys to customers this season. This is the operational procedure: From Wednesday, November 1 to Thursday, November 9, BJ’s members may obtain a digital coupon for a complimentary fresh or frozen entire Butterball turkey upon spending $150 in a single transaction, either in-club or online.
The complimentary turkey coupon may be used starting Saturday, November 11, and must be utilized by Wednesday, November 22, the day preceding Thanksgiving. When purchasing a frozen turkey, which may be the only option available by late November, allocate one day for every four pounds of meat to ensure proper thawing.
To prevent placing a partially frozen turkey in the oven on Thursday, it is advisable to redeem your complimentary turkey by the weekend preceding Thanksgiving.
While not just for Butterball customers, Butterball turkey cooks receive an additional complimentary bonus on or prior to Thanksgiving Day, along with free turkey preparation advice and technical assistance through the Butterball hotline (1-800-Butterball) and SMS service at 844-877-3456.
All BJ’s members must possess a digital BJ’s account to incorporate the complimentary turkey offer online or via the app prior to shopping, ensuring the $150 deal is activated—indicating that a strategic approach is necessary to obtain a full turkey at BJ’s.
Prior to November 9, procure your weekly grocery necessities, along with non-perishable items for the holiday season: Consider stuffing mix, canned veggies, cranberry sauce, crispy onions, flour, and non-perishable products such as butter, eggs, potatoes, and cream (do not open it yet!), as well as beverages or any other necessities!
To facilitate the process, compile a list of all the dishes you intend to prepare, delineate the components required for each recipe, and conduct your shopping accordingly. This will assist you in maintaining organization, seeking discounts, and avoiding excessive expenditure.
What is the amount you are saving by shopping to obtain a complimentary turkey?
At BJ’s, a Butterball Premium Whole Frozen All Natural Young Turkey, weighing between 16-24 lbs (considering a minimum of one pound each dinner guest), is priced at approximately $0.99 per pound, totaling around $25 for the largest turkey.
A membership to BJ’s Wholesale Club commences at $55 annually for the standard Club Card Membership. Although this fee does not offset the cost of the complimentary turkey, it may facilitate bulk purchasing to prepare for the significant feast.
Shopping at a wholesale club such as BJ’s can facilitate time efficiency, as it allows you to procure all necessary items for entertaining in a one location, including containers for leftovers, guest napkins, and decor—essentially, everything required.
David Rajkovich, Vice President of Food Merchandising at BJ’s Wholesale Club, stated in a news release that we are proud to uphold our tradition of providing complimentary Thanksgiving turkeys. We consistently offer unparalleled value, and our complimentary turkeys present an additional opportunity for families to economize during their Thanksgiving festivities.
