Went grocery shopping today, I've become rather fanatic about checking the meat section for something new and exciting, or just a sale. They had whole cleaned chicken for cheap-ish which is what I was after but they also had one lone butcher pack of turkey giblets, neck, heart, liver, and gizzards! Now this store doesn't really butcher themselves is my understanding and I've seen the occasional pack of just turkey necks before, although not in the last couple months but never with organs. Naturally I snatched it up, like maybe all those other people looking at meat really wanted it, lol! I think maybe Monday is just the day I need to go check and wondering if my asking them for organs has them putting some out for a change?

It's possible but it may actually be that you're not the only person who's been asking for organ meats. I know I asked for some at our local grocery and they said they had no call for it. A few months later they had some, I mentioned that it was nice that they had decided to bring them in but found out it was request by a number of customers that had fueled their decision ciao

When I had asked for organ meats, they called back and said I could get beef heart in a 30 pound case or liver in a 60 pound. So I don't know if they butcher an occasional turkey themselves? They have gizzards most of the time, chicken and turkey, but they are prepackaged from some company and no other organs in them.

Awesome find! I need to find a local source for organ meats! I think I'll have to ask next time I'm at the store

If any of you are just out walking around, check in at those small "boutique" pet stores. A lot of them cater to raw feeders, and can get in organ meats for you. Granted, I have to order turkey hearts by the 10lb box, but I've got a freezer anyway, so what the heck ;D Also, when you find these deals in grocery stores, if possible- buy ALL of them! If they sell quickly, and then other people are asking for them yet again, they are more likely to keep them in stock It's not uncommon for me to get some really weird looks when going through the checkout with 15-20 packages of gizzard, livers, what have you ;D
