ALDI Thanksgiving meal costs less than its wine Advent calendar

While everyone knows that the weekly ALDI Finds are a reason to shop, the ALDI Thanksgiving meal comes in at a price that has everyone feeling grateful. From the turkey to the sides to the pumpkin pie, the entire meal for 10 guests is less than the cost of this year’s wine Advent calendar.

According to a recent ALDI survey, “nearly 90% of hosts expect to spend $50 or more on a Thanksgiving meal for up to 10 guests.” While there is much talk about meat-flation, higher costs and the supply chain, the reality is that this year’s Thanksgiving feast will cost more, but ALDI is offering a different take.

Still, this year’s Thanksgiving meal is about bringing people together. With more people celebrating together, in person, the bountiful table is the centerpiece to that spirited conversation. Putting aside the turkey versus sides debate for the best Thanksgiving food, everyone can agree that a full table and full plate is an integral part of the celebration.

How much does the ALDI Thanksgiving meal cost?

ALDI has and always will make value a priority. From weekly ALDI Finds to special seasonal offerings, the carts are overflowing with both deliciousness and savings.

Although some stores and apps have programs for a free Thanksgiving meal, the reality is that all the boxes have to be checked to earn that promotion. Straying off the particular list can lose the savings. With ALDI, there are no special requirements. It is just about the savings.

This year, the ALDI Thanksgiving meal, which includes 12 items, from the turkey to the stuffing to the pumpkin pie, is less than $30. Yes, that is number is less than this year’s wine Advent calendar.

According to Dave Rinaldo, co-president ALDI U.S., “I’m incredibly proud that for less than $30, ALDI shoppers can prepare a delicious Thanksgiving meal, including the turkey, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie and more. With that kind of savings, you may have room for an extra chair or two around the table this year.”

Basically, the ALDI Thanksgiving meal is “priced at less than $3 per person.” That value is something that will make many people grateful.

Since there is savings on the table, shoppers might be willing to add a few extras to the cart. From a special appetizer to a bottle of wine, there are plenty of tasty ALDI finds to round out the food celebration.

Lastly, ALDI is giving back to its employees. This year, every employee will receive two $30 gift cards, one to keep and one to give away. The value represents the cost to purchase a Thanksgiving meal. That gesture is to show how the company values its employees during the holiday season.
