Aldi's $40 Thanksgiving Feast Costs LESS Than in 2024 — Here's What You Get

Let's be real — inflation's been hitting our grocery budgets hard, and Thanksgiving dinner has been getting pricey in the past few years. But here's some good news: Aldi has brought back their Thanksgiving meal deal, and it's actually cheaper than last year. We're expecting Walmart to follow suit with their own deal soon.

You can also save on holiday cooking essentials with the Ibotta Thanksgiving meal deal, which should be back any day now.

In 2025, Aldi Thanksgiving staples are cheap enough to feed 10 people for $4 each.

This year's $40 basket is an improvement on 2024's $47 price tag. Aldi has cut prices on staples — like turkey for $0.77 per pound, which is better than the prices most stores are charging.

The discounts are pretty strategic too. They've slashed celery by more than half (52% off), which is big since that's a base ingredient for stuffing and side dishes. Russet potatoes are 33% off, so you'll get 10 pounds for just $3.25. And if you're making pies, the whipped topping is 33% off.

You'll also get deals on flavor-makers like poultry seasoning (46% off), thyme, sage, and rosemary. Plus, the basket includes everything from the Jennie-O turkey down to the pie crust and Hawaiian rolls — so you're not scrambling to fill in gaps with full-price items from another store.
