With Thanksgiving being just around the corner, here are some of the best deals around this year for your holiday feast. In round one we have the pièce de résistance of the meal, the turkey. Let’s start off with Giant Food. They price their frozen turkeys at $0.37 a pound (not bad!). However, then there are Harris Teeter and Wegmans. Both of these stores have their frozen turkey’s priced at…….. $0.29 a pound (that’s an even better deal!). I am hosting Thanksgiving this year for eight people, so I went with the Harris Teeter deal* and got a turkey for $5 that was just a little over 18lbs! (*Please note that you must spend a minimum of $40 to get your turkey for the $0.29 a pound pricing.)

Now let’s say you’re hosting this year but want to take the stress out of doing the whole cooking part; well, I have an answer for you too! Why not order ahead of time, and essentially have it catered right to you; easy as that! A classic meal for 8-10 people, from Harris Teeter will run you about $60. Your meal will include a turkey, cornbread stuffing, cranberry relish, gravy, scalloped potatoes, and green bean casserole. But our next contender who serves 4-6 people offers a lot more options in my opinion. Priced at right around $100 your feast will include, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, gravy, rolls, and you get a choice of pie as well. I think if your budget is around $100, I would for sure go to your local Giant Food store. Simply because they offer a bigger variety and food, and if you have mostly small kids, this meal could probably feed more people as well.

What are some of your Thanksgiving traditions and what is your favorite side dish? Personally, I love stuffing! Every family makes it differently and puts their own spin on it, and I think that’s so awesome! I wish everyone a safe, happy, and fun Thanksgiving!
