Aldi’s Thanksgiving Prices Are the Lowest Since 2019

Grocery store prices have risen sharply in the last five years, and that increase is felt even more during the holidays. Last holiday season, Aldi lowered Thanksgiving Day essentials by 50%, and this year, the popular grocery chain is promising savings that match pre-pandemic pricing.

In a recent press release, Aldi CEO Jason Hart says their mission to offer the lowest daily prices will extend through Thanksgiving. “We worked hard this Thanksgiving to deliver the best value and quality products so everyone can enjoy a traditional meal with family and friends without having to scale back,” says Hart. Here’s what you can expect from the sale and how to use those savings to make an amazing Thanksgiving feast.

Aldi Thanksgiving Sale Details

Shopping at Aldi saves customers up to 40% on their weekly groceries compared to other stores, but you can save even more on Aldi-exclusive brands in the coming weeks.

Sales on Thanksgiving essentials start on October 16 and run through November 27. The exact sale prices haven’t been released yet, and availability could vary. Still, the press release promises that the markdowns will help a family provide a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people for under $47.

The meal, which costs less than $4.70 per person, includes the following:

• 16-pound Butterball turkey with spices
• Gravy
• Rolls
• Mac & cheese
• Stuffing
• Cranberry sauce
• Mashed potatoes
• Sweet potato casserole
• Green bean casserole
• Pumpkin pie

The release says that the “inflation-busting” prices are available to all Aldi shoppers, and you won’t need any coupons, weekly flyers, or rewards programs. If you can’t get into the store, Aldi now has delivery through services like DoorDash and Instacart.

Shopping Tips to Maximize Your Savings

Use this sale as an opportunity to plan ahead if you are responsible for the Thanksgiving menu. Get your hands on a print or digital weekly flyer and create a checklist of all the items you need. You can stock up on nonperishables once the sale starts (while supplies last), but keep fresh items off your list until the week of your gathering.

Before you head into Aldi, clean out your pantry and freezer to get rid of any expired or spoiled food. You can buy your turkey well in advance, but it’s helpful to have a spot for it in the freezer before you bring it home.

And when you’re at the store, it will be tempting to fill your cart with Aldi Finds or other non-holiday essentials, but stick to your list to avoid going over the $47 price tag. Sometimes, it’s helpful to buy Thanksgiving essentials from multiple stores based on the weekly sales, but buying Aldi-exclusive items should help minimize trips, which could save you gas, time, and headaches.
