From the main course and side dishes to dessert, hosting holiday meals can become a costly endeavor, but Aldi is offering a full Thanksgiving meal for $40, including the turkey and crowd-pleasing side dishes.
For years, Aldi has offered the lowest per-person price on a Thanksgiving meal compared to nationwide retailers, and for 2025, prices are even lower than last year. For $4 per person, Aldi shoppers can purchase all the items needed to fill their tables—everything from rolls and cranberry sauce to green bean casseroles and pumpkin pie.
As many families feel the strain on their budgets this holiday season, they're finding creative ways to celebrate. But this affordable meal solution reduces the need to scale back seasonal menus and makes it easier to host without the high cost.
