Here's the Thanksgiving dinner that $50 buys you at Aldi, Costco, Walmart, and more. (via CNBCMakeIt)
The goal: a meal consisting of a minimum of a 12-pound turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and crescent rolls, as well as apple pie and coffee for dessert. To make all of that in a semi-homemade fashion , the shopping list consists of 17 items to make eight complete dishes. For specifics, see the table at the bottom of this article.
A big part of that savings was on the turkey. Aldi's frozen whole turkeys went on sale for Thanksgiving on Wednesday, and the retailer has Shady Brook Farms turkeys for 59 cents per pound, the cheapest price among area grocery stores. But if you prefer, the chain also is selling Butterball Premium all natural frozen whole turkeys for 87 cents per pound.
A look at the ingredients you can buy at Costco in New Jersey for $50 to create an eight-person Thanksgiving dinner.The total cost of a Thanksgiving dinner from Costco, $73.37, was slightly more expensive than the Trader Joe's dinner that rang in just over $66. So why does Costco score slightly higher in the ranking? Quality and quantity.
A quick note on Costco's turkeys: While they haven't arrived in store yet, Costco traditionally has fresh young turkeys for 99 cents per pound. I assumed that pricing when planning out a Thanksgiving meal. A spokesperson for Costco declined to comment on the chain's Thanksgiving turkey pricing and availability.
Turkeys are arriving at Trader Joe's on Nov. 15, according to the chain's Fearless Flyer circular. Their all-natural brined fresh young turkeys will be $1.99 per pound, with sizes available from 12 pounds to 22 pounds.
