Check Out These Affordable Thanksgiving Meal Deals Available in Oklahoma
The holiday season can be an expensive time, especially when it comes to grocery shopping. Luckily, Oklahomans can save on holiday meals at some of the nation's largest grocery stores with dinner packages available for $30 or less!
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so everyone will be pricing out turkeys, along with the sides and their ingredients, especially the Thanksgiving staples of stuffing and green bean casserole. Grocery prices have been at the forefront of everyone's minds ever since the pandemic, and prices haven't gotten any better in 2023 - sometimes it feels like they've been getting worse every year.
According to Move.org, "the average price of groceries in America in 2023 is $415.53 a month per person." Oklahoma averages in between the states that are most expensive and most affordable for groceries at $444.29 a month per person.
With the increase in prices, some bigger grocery stores have taken it upon themselves to offer affordable holiday meals.
So where will Americans be shopping for their Thanksgiving meals this weekend? Usually when grocery prices are high, people tend to not shop at larger retail stores or splurge on name-brand products. But this year, those larger retail stores might be the ones offering the best deals.
Aldi - 50 Percent Off Holiday Favorites
Earlier this month, Aldi announced that their America locations would be reducing its prices "up to 50 percent off on holiday favorites ranging from appetizers and sides to produce and baking essentials."
Aldi also announced that it would be offering a Thanksgiving meal for eight people priced at $63. But details have not yet be released about this meal deal.
