How to cook a Thanksgiving meal for all the family on a budget
Healthy, low-cost Thanksgiving meal options
The estimated cost for a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people in the U.S. is $55.18 this year, marking the lowest price since 2021.
Turkey prices have decreased by 16.3 percent, though the overall meal cost remains 13 percent higher than pre-pandemic levels in 2019.
Despite the overall decrease, prices for certain produce items like frozen peas, sweet potatoes and fresh vegetable trays have seen significant increases.
Several major grocery retailers, including Walmart, Target, Lidl and Aldi, are offering discounted Thanksgiving meal kits or individual ingredients.
These deals range from full meals for 10 people for under $40 at Walmart and Aldi, to smaller kits for four at Target for under $20 and premium delivered options from Costco.
