Thanksgiving 2025: Walmart and ALDI unveil budget-friendly meal deals and food baskets, here are the prices, what’s inside, and how to buy

Hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year doesn’t have to break the bank. Major grocery chains are stepping up to help families serve a full holiday feast at a fraction of the cost. Both Walmart and ALDI have unveiled affordable Thanksgiving meal bundles priced around $40, enough to feed up to 10 people.

Walmart is bringing back its popular Thanksgiving Value Meal, which provides all the essentials for less than $4 per person, the lowest price since the company began offering holiday bundles.

The $40 package includes more than 20 items, from a Butterball turkey to classic sides and dessert fixings. Customers can order online for pickup or delivery through December 25 and even customize ingredients before checkout.


“We know every dollar and minute counts,” said John Furner, president and CEO of Walmart US, “We want every family to be able to share a meal and celebrate without compromising on quality, quantity, or tradition.”

The estimated cost of under $4 per person marks the lowest price since Walmart first introduced its holiday meal bundles.

Each basket comes complete with a turkey and all the fixings for classic sides such as stuffing, mac and cheese, cranberry sauce, potatoes, glazed carrots, and gravy, all topped off with a traditional pumpkin pie for dessert.

What’s inside Walmart’s Thanksgiving basket:

Butterball Turkey (13.5 lb.) – $0.97 per pound (lowest price since 2019)
