My local grocery store had a promotion to spend $50 (excluding milk) and get a free 10-12 pound turkey of a certain variety.
So since I go there often (and usually spend more than $50) I went and collected my usual items (totalling about $70) and went to go get my turkey but the only ones left were 13-15 pounds.
I asked the girl at the register where I can get the 10-12 pound turkeys and she told me they were out so I should just take one of the others.
I got my 13.5 pound turkey for free*
* with $50 purchase of items I would have eventually bought anyway, most of it on sale or decent-priced staples!

FYI
A recent news report here in San Diego indicated that the average nationwide price of turkey this Thanksgiving rose from 79-cents per pound to over $1/lb in 2010.
