Do you remember 2019? It was just five years ago, but the world has changed a lot since then. While we understand how the Coronavirus pandemic caused the prices of many things to rise, that knowledge still doesn’t stop the sting of higher prices at the grocery store or the fact that sometimes we now pay more money for less product.
As the holiday season approaches, grocery store costs may be daunting. Fortunately, like last year, the news is starting to trickle in that some stores are lowering their prices on holiday meal staples, and Aldi is the first to announce Thanksgiving sales.
Thanksgiving 2024 Sales at Aldi
Last year, Aldi cut its Thanksgiving prices in half, and this year, it’s dropping prices to the lowest since 2019. The lower prices go into effect on Oct. 16. Aldi says that with its reduced prices, shoppers can purchase the ingredients for a full Thanksgiving meal for 10 people for less than $47.
What do you get for less than $50? Aldi’s list includes the most popular items for a traditional feast: a Butterball turkey with spices, gravy, rolls, mac and cheese, and stuffing—plus the ingredients for cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie.
While the store hasn’t yet released the specific prices of each item in the reduced price list, it does say it’s aiming to make them the lowest prices.
“Every day at Aldi, we are focused on finding ways to deliver the lowest possible prices for our customers—and this Thanksgiving is no different,” said Jason Hart, Aldi’s CEO. “With 25% of U.S. households now shopping at Aldi, we know grocery prices are still top of mind for customers. 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.”
