Thanksgiving is almost upon us. Its a day of celebration, thanks, and good cheer. Aside from seeing all your family gathered around swapping stories and smiles, the food is one of the greatest parts of the holiday. No matter how big or small your family is, there is a store that will cover all your holiday cooking needs and come in lower than your allotted budget. Here are the best turkey day deals I’ve found by store:
Aldi
Aldi boasts discount prices from responsibly grown products. They also carry unique products for you to try. This Thanksgiving head over to them for the best deals on meat and vegetables. The best deal on meat is their Butterball dinner turkey. At 10-22lbs the cost is only .87 per lb. Keep in mind this is down from $1.29 per pound but there is a limit of only 2 per customer.
As far as vegetables, Aldis has sweet potatoes priced at $0.49 per lb, $2.49 for a 10lb bag of Russet potatoes, and fresh-cut green beans at $1.39 for a 16 oz package. Their current ad runs from November 20-26 so don’t miss out.
Kroger
If you are planning to spend heavily at Kroger there are three special deals you may like to get in on for food, to increase your gas rewards, and for a deal on your holiday gift shopping The first deal centers around your holiday Bird. Kroger is offering thier branded USDA Grade A Turkey for $0.47 lb with a $25 purchase. While you are limited to just two turkeys per shopping trip, it beats most of the prices advertised. This is one of the best turkey day deals around.
Kroger Gift Card Deals
Another offer is the gift card deal. Clip both of the 4X the fuel gift card deals to your shopper’s card. One deal is for prepaid Mastercard or Visa gift cards in the amounts of $25, $50, or $100. The other deal is 4X the fuel points on gift cards, a prepaid wireless phone or phone card. Purchasing the cards will earn you 4x the fuel amount per dollar you spend on the card.
The best way to utilize this deal is to know your Thanksgiving grocery budget before you walk in the door and purchase the gift card for that amount before you put anything in the shopping cart. You will instantly earn your fuel points and can use the card to complete your thanksgiving shopping.
Other Kroger Incentives
If you shop from November 20th-December 3 there is an additional incentive for you. If you spend $200-$300 you will earn a 30% off coupon, or if you spend $400 or more you will earn a 50% off coupon to redeem on toys, home, apparel, decore and more between December 12-15th.
