Planning the menu, decorating<\/a>, coordinating a dessert table\u2014even grocery shopping. What we don't love is the price of the feast. Even though we're experts at affordable party fare<\/a>, food costs are rising. We don't want to cut anyone from the guest list, and we definitely<\/em> don't want to skip the appetizers<\/a> or have to choose between pecan pie<\/a> and pumpkin pie<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAldi, one of our favorite grocery store chains<\/a>, has a solution: an \"inflation-busting holiday meal\" with all the essential ingredients at the lowest cost. No need to clip coupons or wait for a sale. Here's what they're offering\u2014and how it stacks up to the competition.\r\n

What's the cost of Thanksgiving dinner for 2024?<\/h2>\r\nBelieve it or not, experts at the Farm Bureau<\/a> closely track what Americans spend on Thanksgiving dinner each year. Costs for Thanksgiving dinner soared in 2022, when supply chain struggles made crucial ingredients (like turkey) more scarce. Prices calmed in 2023, with the average cost of dinner for 10 ringing in at $61.17. ABC News<\/a> reports that Thanksgiving will cost roughly the same in 2024, even though prices for certain products have shifted. The price of turkey and fresh cranberries are down, while prices for ham and canned foods, like pumpkin and green beans, have gone up.\r\n\r\nMany retailers are working to keep Thanksgiving prices down, but Aldi is famous for its cheap groceries<\/a>, which gives it a special opportunity to offer the lowest possible pricing\u2014about 23% less than the average cost.\r\n

What's included on Aldi's shopping list?<\/h2>\r\n\"Aldi\r\n\r\nThe Thanksgiving shopping list includes a Butterball turkey and spices, plus gravy, rolls, mac and cheese, stuffing and the ingredients to make cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.\r\n\r\nWant to add extra courses? Aldi also has three wine bundles for under $10. Each bundle includes a bottle of the store's California Heritage Pinot Noir with a choice of cheese and crackers, truffle dip or pumpkin pie.\r\n\r\nIf you're looking for a fully prepared Thanksgiving meal, check out Costco's Thanksgiving dinner<\/a>, which runs $200 for a ready-to-serve traditional feast.\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
