Get an Entire Minnesota Thanksgiving Meal for Just $20

Thanksgiving is late this year, but it's still creeping up. And we all know that this time of year can be very joyous, and also very stressful and trying if you are on a strict budget.  Even if the budget isn't your issue, the holidays can be a stressful time with trying to figure out where and when to go somewhere, dealing with family members, who's having the holiday, what's being served, expectations and the list goes on.

So, if you can get your holiday meal taken care of for a low price and have everything you need done, that's a win.

Last year, Target had a deal where you could get your Thanksgiving meal for a low price of $25.  This year, after having reported profits of $4.4 BILLION, they have slashed the price to just $20.  It includes a meal enough for 4 people. Here's what you get according to Bring Me the News:

• Good & Gather Premium Basted Young Turkey (Frozen) – up to 10 lb.
• Good & Gather Russet Potatoes – 5 lb.
• Del Monte Cut Green Beans – 14.5 oz.
• Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup – 10.5 oz.
• Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce – 14 oz.
• Stove Top Turkey Stuffing Mix – 6 oz.
• Heinz Home Style Roasted Turkey Gravy – 12 oz.

I look at this list and the first thing I think of is... HEY!  YOU FORGOT THE PIE!!!

I guess you are on your own for that part.  But I guess that's ok.  I like to bake. Or, ask someone to bring that.

If you have more than 4 people, you could always buy more than one, or here are some other places around town that will also be running some deals on your Thanksgiving meal.  And they do vary as to how many people the meals will serve.

ALDI - this is to feed 10 people for $47:

• Butterball turkey
• Poultry seasoning
• Sweet dinner rolls
• Pie crusts
• Canned pumpkin
• Sweet potatoes
• Mini marshmallows
• Evaporated milk
• Whipped topping
• Cranberries
• Russet potatoes
• Gravy mix
• Chicken broth
• Stuffing mix
• Celery
• Fresh green beans
• Baby carrots
• Onions
• Shells and cheese kit

And if you would like another choice - you could always order a whole holiday meal from Walmart.  That meal will cost you Just about $50 and will serve 8 people.  Here's what that meal pack includes:

• Whole Frozen Turkey 10 – 16 lb. ($0.88/lb.)
• Great Value Sweet Hawaiian Rolls (1 unit – 12oz)
• Great Value Golden Sweet Whole Kernel Corn (3 units - 15oz)

• Great Value Evaporated Milk (1 unit – 12 fl oz)
• Jet-Puffed Mini Marshmallows (1 unit - 10oz)
• Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (2 units - 8.5oz)
• Great Value Poultry Seasoning (1 unit - 1.5oz)
• Swanson Chicken Broth (1 unit - 32oz)
• Fresh Whole Russet Potatoes (1 unit - 5lbs)
• Fresh Whole Sweet Potatoes (3 units)
• Fresh Yellow Onions (1 unit - 3lbs)
• Fresh Celery Stalks (1 unit)

At least the other two, other than Target, remembered the pie!  And also some other side dishes.  If I were to pick from the three I would probably choose Aldi, but if there are only 4 of you, Target sounds good.  You just need to get your own dessert too.
