Thanksgiving dinner can easily become stressful and expensive, but Aldi is stepping in to change that. The grocery chain has introduced a full Thanksgiving meal that feeds 10 people for just $40, and it covers nearly everything you’d expect from a traditional holiday spread.
A complete Thanksgiving meal for less than a coffee
Aldi has long been known for keeping grocery costs low, but this year it’s going even further. The 2025 Thanksgiving deal offers a complete meal for about $4 per person, less than the cost of a pumpkin spice latte. It’s a move that makes hosting more affordable without cutting corners on the menu.
Aldi’s $40 Thanksgiving meal includes 21 items, covering everything from turkey and rolls to cranberry sauce and pie.

Aldi U.S. CEO Atty McGrath said the brand’s goal is to make the holidays easier on families’ wallets. “Saving our shoppers money is our mission every day, but it’s especially important during the holidays when they need it most,” McGrath explained in a press release.
What’s included in the $40 feast
The meal includes all the essentials for a classic Thanksgiving dinner. You’ll get 21 products in total, including a 14-pound turkey and all the sides and desserts you’d expect on the table.
Here’s what you’ll find in Aldi’s $40 feast:
Condensed cream of mushroom soup
Two cans of cut green beans
Two boxes of shells and cheese
Three packets of brown gravy mix
Chicken or cornbread stuffing
Three pounds of yellow onions
Three pounds of sweet potatoes
Ten pounds of russet potatoes
With these ingredients, you can prepare all the Thanksgiving classics — turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, mac and cheese, and even pumpkin pie.
Easy to shop in stores or online
One of the best parts of this deal is how simple it is to get. You don’t need a coupon, membership, or special sign-up. All included items are marked clearly on Aldi’s shelves.
Aldi continues to lead with affordable grocery prices, especially during the holidays when shoppers are looking to save more.

If you’d rather skip the in-store search, you can order everything online for curbside pickup or home delivery through services like Instacart, DoorDash, or Uber Eats. This convenience means you can plan your Thanksgiving meal with just a few clicks.
Available through the holidays
The $40 Thanksgiving meal is available now and runs through December 24. That makes it a good option not only for Thanksgiving but also for holiday gatherings that follow. Whether you’re hosting a family dinner in November or a friend’s celebration in December, this deal makes it easy to serve a full meal without breaking the budget.
