Retailers Walmart and Aldi announced they are providing “inflation-free” Thanksgiving meals for customers.
Walmart issued a press release stating that the meal, which consists of 29 items and serves 8 people for less than $7 a person, will be available through December 24.
“As food prices remain top of mind, more customers want to begin saving earlier and throughout the holiday season,” Walmart said. “Now through Dec. 24, Walmart is bringing back its inflation-free Thanksgiving meal at a lower price than last year to help customers save without compromising quality.”
Walmart’s executive vice president of food, John Laney, said, “Some of the holiday’s most special moments take place around the dinner table. At Walmart, we are committed to offering customers even deeper savings on top of our Every Day Low Prices for all their mealtime needs.”
“And with more opportunities to gift a meal and give back to those in need, we’re helping customers spread holiday cheer to their loved ones and their local communities,” Laney noted.
Aldi also released its lowest-priced Thanksgiving meal in five years. The meal serves 10 people for less than $47.
“With reports showing grocery prices are up 50% across the industry on hundreds of items compared to 2019, shoppers will get welcome relief at ALDI on their favorite Thanksgiving fixings,” the retailer announced, adding, “This inflation-busting holiday meal comes at a time when the popularity of ALDI is at an all-time high, and shopper demand is driving the retailer’s continued growth as it plans to open 800 stores over the next five years. Whether checking off a weekly grocery list or planning a holiday meal, ALDI is ready to earn the trust of new communities with shelves stocked with everything needed to satisfy families and impress guests.”
