The cost of hosting Thanksgiving dinner can be steep, and while turkey is expected to be less this year, experts say the prices of side dishes are higher than usual.
One grocery chain says there’s no need to worry about the cost of prepping a holiday meal with its Thanksgiving shopping list: Lidl is offering a basket that claims to yield 10 Thanksgiving dinners for less than $30.
The company is hoping its deal provides some relief to those hoping to enjoy holiday meals without worrying about the cost.
"Families can always rely on Lidl for the best deal during the holiday season," said Joel Rampoldt, CEO of Lidl US. "We are proud to offer shoppers a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with all the seasonal fixings for less than $30, especially as inflation continues to hit pocketbooks. We hope these savings provide relief so families can come together to give thanks and enjoy their holiday meal.”
