Target is offering Thanksgiving meals for 4 people for $20

Target is slashing the price of a Thanksgiving meal, saying shoppers can feed four for $20, or $5 less than last year, the discount retailer said Monday.

Minneapolis-based Target said its holiday offerings include frozen turkey, potatoes, canned green beans, cream of mushroom soup, canned stuffing mix and jarred gravy.

“From reducing the price of our Thanksgiving dinner menu to just $20 to offering a range of hosting and gifting options and special Target Circle 360 ​​offers, we serve the type of exceptional quality and value that sets Target apart,” Rick Gomez said Target's executive vice president and chief commercial officer in a press release.

With the announcement, Target joins other retailers such as Aldi, Walmart and fast food chains appeal to price-sensitive Americans.

Sam's Club offers delivery of pre-cooked meals for up to 10 people for less than $100 to Warehouse Club members.

US inflation in September marked the lowest level since February 2021.

A survey last year by the American Farm Bureau Federation found that the average cost of the classic holiday meal for 10 people was $61.17, or less than $6.20 per person, a decrease of 4.5% compared to 2022, when the cost of the meal hit a record high. The organization has not yet released its findings on this year's food gathering costs.
