You mean after Thanksgiving, right? But turkey can be haraam too. 
We got a halal turkey last year and I still have to order one for this year. Hmmm.
And do you guys actually believe that you can't be poor in the developed world?

Fresh Turkey's (non-frozen ones) go down in price significantly on Thanksgiving day, becuase they have to get rid of all their stock of fresh before they spoil. Also, it's Thanksgiving day, so everyone bought their turkey already, and they don't expect people to be shopping that day. If you go the day after Thanksgiving, the price is up again, and you won't find any fresh turkeys. They figure that the demand decreases after Thanksgiving too, since a lot of people eat ham and roast beef for Christmas, whereas Thanksgiving is almost exclusively turkey. In my family we ate Turkey both days because my grandpa was wild about Turkey.
Aryan is displaying the classic "blame the poor" attitudes. If he's really been around the world as he says, he should understand better, but he doesn't. I don't think Aryan has himself experienced poverty in any form. He strikes me as a very well off person from a well off family.
