The Price of Turkey in 2012

Tomorrow I'm going to buy a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving Day because it takes three days to defrost frozen turkey in a refrigerator, so I need to buy one three days before cooking.
When I went to a supermarket today, I checked the price and size of turkeys. There were a lot of turkeys for Thanksgiving Day!

 Ralphs is selling a frozen turkey from $0.59 per pound. Each turkey's weight was 12 pounds to 24 pounds. Which means about $7 to $14 per frozen turkey.

 They are also selling fresh turkeys, these are pretty expensive though.

Every year, I compare the price of turkey with many supermarkets, but I have bought one at only Ralphs. It's because Ralphs is closest supermarket to my home. :)
The price of turkey has been increasing. Ralphs sold a frozen turkey from $0.29 per pound in 2010 and $0.49 per pound in 2011. This year, they are selling one from $0.59 per pound.

These are the price of turkey in 2012.
