Which Grocery Store Has the Best Thanksgiving Deals?
Looking at the chains with curated meal deals, this is what a Thanksgiving dinner costs at Aldi, Costco, Target, Sam’s Club and Walmart in 2024:
Per person, thebest Thanksgiving dinner deal this year is at Aldi. Each guest will only cost you $4.70 with this deal. Aldi’s dinner is almost too good to be true: a Butterball turkey, dinner rolls, stuffing mix and all of the fixings to whip up staples like mashed potatoes, green beans,old-fashioned sweet potato casserole, macaroni and cheese, cranberry sauce andpumpkin pie.
But if you’re hosting a smaller crowd, Target’s 4-for-$20 deal comes to $5 per person, including a 10-pound frozen turkey, gravy, stuffing mix, potatoes, canned cranberry sauce and the key ingredients for agreen bean casserole.
It seems like the warehouse stores—Sam’s Club and Costco—are offering the priciest dinners, but it’s for a reason. These dinners include heat-and-serve dishes, making the turkey, mashed potatoes and veggie sides entirely hands-off. So they may be worth the price tag if you have limited time this season but still want a quality meal.
