Aldi Won Thanksgiving With a $38 Dinner for 10 — Plus 5 Other Holiday Deals Worth Stocking Up On
It may seem like a dream to pay only $4 per person for Thanksgiving dinner this year, especially with all the talk about inflation and rising prices on pretty much everything at the grocery store. However, at Aldi it’s reality.
The discount grocer is offering a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 for under $39. The holiday meal comes with a turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, dinner rolls, cranberries, peas, carrots, celery, pumpkin pie ingredients, milk and whipping cream. They even shared a downloadable shopping list so you can stay on budget.

Not everyone is a fan of sweet potatoes. You can score some baking potatoes for less than $1 per pound at Aldi.
Mashed Potatoes
Price: $0.99
You don’t need to make everything from scratch for your Thanksgiving dinner. If you’d rather do instant potatoes, Melanie Musson, a retail finance expert with Quote, said you can’t beat the Chef’s Cupboard butter mashed potatoes.
Apple Pie Filling
Price: $2.35
No dinner is complete without something sweet and the Aldi apple filling and topping is as good as homemade. For $2 and some change, that's deal - and time saver - you can't beat.
Bottom Line
The Aldi’s Thanksgiving dinner deal is a good reminder that the holiday meal doesn't need to blow up your grocery budget. It can also be a meal that kicks off a whole season of cooking. If you've got some wiggle room, it may be worth jotting down what you expecting to make through New Year’s Day and pick up some shelf-stable items you know you’ll use like flour, broth or canned veggies.
Still, you want to keep to your budget. Taylor Kovar, certified financial planner (CFP), co-founder of UseKlear.com offered some advice on how to shop smarter even when snagging Aldi's bargains.
She shared, “The catch with stocking up is that a cart full of deals can still cost more than you planned. Going in with a list and a rough number in mind could help keep a good deal from turning into extra spending.”
