Done: Thanksgiving dinner is expensivereally Dear. According toAmerican Farm FederationIn 2018, the average American family spent approximately $ 50 shopping for all traditional ingredients of a turkey meal for 10 people. Fortunately, someone understood how to organize a complete holiday for only $ 30 in purchases in a specific grocery store, a total saving of 40%!

Last week, a journalist for theSouth Florida Sun Sentinel Visited four of the main grocery stores of the Nation -Whore,Walmart,Publicity, andWhole foods-Armée of a grocery list and a mission: to determine which at the most affordable prices for a dozen most common thanksgiving products. The result? If you live near one, Aldi should be your grocery store for the most affordable Thanksgiving.

So, what is exactly included in a "common"Thanksgiving meal? To rate the prices, the journalist bought these 12 articles from Thanksgiving 12 Staples:

• A turkey with 12 pounds
• a bag (or two boxes) of stuffing
• Three books of sweet potatoes
• Five books of regular potatoes
• A book of green beans (not frozen)
• A turkey sauce pack
• A box of crescent rolls
• A cranberry jelly box
• a liter of chicken (or Turkey)
• a pound of butter
• A half gallon of milk
• A prepared dessert

It all said, the final results of the four grocery stores were:

• Aldi:$ 30.36
• Walmart:$ 32.73
• Publix:$ 40.18
• Whole foods:$ 62.48

Even though Aldi's global flour was the most affordable, there was a variation between prices between stores:

• Publix sold Turkey at the lowest price: $ 5.88 compared to $ 7.08. (Meanwhile, all foods Turkey was nearly $ 23.)
• Walmart proposed the cranberry jelly ($ 0.98) and the chicken stock ($ 1.22) at lower prices than the ALDI.
• Publix had the most darkest potatoes: $ 4.47 for three books. (Even whole foods offered three fresh potatoes for $ 2.39.)
• The most amazing, desserts to whole foods (which were 10 dollars each) costtwice What they did at Aldi and Walmart (who were about $ 5.90 each).

Overall, outside Turkey (and pies!) To entire foods, most items between stores do not differ too much. But when you buy a dozen things for both a holiday feast at one time, things add up quickly and every dollar account.

But this poses another question: how much would it cost gas? Your best bet: stick to Aldi if there is one near you. And otherwise, Beeline at your nearest Walmart (you are probably going to work anyway, is not it?).
