Jewel Osco - Thanksgiving Rip-Off
We purchased Jewel's advertised Holiday Meals made easy. While competitors provide a fully prepared sliced turkey dinner - Jewel did not.
The turkey was a packaged fully-cooked turkey that required two hours in the oven, a cooking pan, slicing and disposal of the remains. The horrible turkey surprise came with frozen private label (store brand) sides - all of which were of very low quality. The mashed potatoes were watery and flavorless - they were the best of the bunch. For $80, I could have walked around the store and picked up a fully cooked turkey and frozen private label sides for half the price.
What a disappointment and false advertisement.
Jewel provided my family with a horrible Thanksgiving dinner. What a rip-off.
Reason of review: Not as described/ advertised.
Monetary Loss: $80.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

If competitors offered what you would have preferred for the turkey then why did you buy it at Jewel and then waist everyoneโs time by posting a meaningless review!
We had the same experience. I don't remember the order sheet stating the sides were previously frozen Signature brand taste less food.
The kit came with typed instructions from Jewel that said to reheat the cooked turkey at 15-20 minutes per pound. That's about 3 hours! The real time on the turkey said 1.5 hours. Good thing we followed that!
The turkey was dry too.
We were embarrassed cooking this thing. Terrible, just terrible.
