While we start the Thanksgiving week, here is a look at grocery stores that will be offering free turkeys.

Offers.com rounded up a list of grocery stores that are giving away free turkeys (with qualifying purchase).

This concept of free turkeys with stipulations is not a new idea. Grocers have offered free turkeys around Thanksgiving for many years.

Pay close attention to the spending requirements. The giveaway turkeys most stores include in their promos generally cost about $30 to $40. So a free turkey isn’t worth rushing to the store and filling up your cart with $100+ in groceries you don’t need and will throw away, according to blackfriday.com. They added participation may vary by location and supply, and require a physical coupon that can be found in the store’s weekly ad.

Here are grocers offering free turkeys:

Acme Market: Free Signature Farms or Jennie-O basted frozen turkey (10-22 lb.) when you spend $100 in a single transaction. Valid through Nov. 15.
