Thanksgiving On a Budget!
Don't let rising grocery costs dampen your holiday spirit! Several retailers are offering affordable Thanksgiving dinner options this year.
Most Affordable: Amazon Fresh
If you have access to Amazon Fresh and are hosting a smaller gathering, this Thanksgiving dinner is sure to please! For just $5 per person, you can feed six people for a total of $30. The meal includes a Butterball turkey and items from Amazon’s brands: instant mashed potatoes, gravy mix, stuffing mix, dinner rolls, cranberries, green beans, and pie!
Available Nationwide: Walmart
America's largest retailer offers a Thanksgiving meal for eight people at about $50! This feast includes a turkey (10-17 lbs), green bean casserole ingredients, cornbread, stuffing, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, corn, the makings for mashed potatoes and gravy, Hawaiian rolls, canned cranberry sauce (imagine the classic “plop” as it exits the can!), and everything you need to whip up a pumpkin pie with whipped topping. That’s just under $7 per person!
**Feeding 10 People for Under $50:**
At Aldi, shoppers can find a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people for only $47! This includes a Butterball turkey with spices, potatoes, gravy, rolls, boxed mac and cheese, stuffing, the ingredients for cranberry sauce, fixings for a sweet potato casserole and green bean casserole, and a pumpkin pie.
Hate Cooking? Sam's Club Has You Covered!
If you prefer not to cook, Sam's Club has a convenient option for you! For $100, you can enjoy a meal featuring a smoked turkey, mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato mash, cranberry crunch salad, yeast dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, and a prepared pumpkin pie. While it doesn’t include gravy, you can purchase a container of powdered poultry gravy mix for an additional $5. And don’t forget to ask a family member who’s not a fan of cooking to bring the whipped topping!
$40 gets you this tasty Meijer Dinner
Meijer shoppers are in luck this holiday season!
