As inflation concerns hover over the holiday season, popular food retailers are cutting prices on classic Thanksgiving items as a way to give shoppers some savings.

Aldi U.S.

Through Nov. 29, the Batavia, Ill.-based, no-frills, deep-discount chain is rolling back prices on holiday essentials to pre-pandemic, pre-inflationary times.

Under the “Thanksgiving Price Rewind,” items such as appetizers, desserts, sides and beverages will be discounted up to 30% to match November 2019 prices. Holiday favorites with marked-down pricing include brie cheese, prosciutto, cornbread stuffing, wine, mini quiches, fresh brown-and-serve rolls, macarons and apple pie, Aldi said.

“Providing amazing products at the absolute lowest prices is what we’ve always done, and we know right now that’s more important than ever,” said Dave Rinaldo, president of Aldi U.S. “We expect to welcome tens of millions of customers in our stores this Thanksgiving season, and we want them to know they can count on us. So why not attempt that additional side dish this year, or invite over a few more friends or family members? You can rest easy knowing ALDI has your back this Thanksgiving, and beyond.”

Within New Jersey, Aldi has 62 stores. 

Lidl U.S.

Discount grocer Lidl, which has over two dozen locations across New Jersey, is also dropping prices ahead of the holidays.

The Arlington, Va.-based company is once again offering shoppers the ability to spend less than $30 to get all the items needed to prepare a Thanksgiving meal that feeds up to 10 people.

The Lidl basket includes a 13-pound frozen turkey, baby carrots (16 ounces), sweet peas (16 ounces), turkey stuffing mix (three 18-ounce boxes), one whole celery stalk, sweet potatoes (3-pound bag), Hawaiian sweet rolls (12 count), fresh cranberries (12 ounce), one gallon of whole milk, heavy whipping cream (1 pint), pumpkin pie mix (30 ounces) and two pie crusts.

“Even as grocery prices rise nationally, shoppers can rely on Lidl for the best deal to feed their family this holiday season,” said Stefan Schwarz, Lidl US chief product officer. “We are proud to offer shoppers at Lidl a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings for less than $30. We hope our low prices give families some financial relief as they come together this holiday season.”

Walmart

The big box retailer is offering customers a discount on traditional holiday meal items, like turkey, ham, potatoes and stuffing, as well as convenience items, including ready-to-eat macaroni and cheese and freshly made pumpkin pie, and ingredients, such as cheese and pie crusts.

“Saving money is a top priority for our customers right now, so this year, we’re removing inflation on an entire basket containing traditional Thanksgiving items. We made significant investments on top of our everyday low prices so customers can get a traditional Thanksgiving meal at last year’s price at Walmart,” said John Laney, Walmart U.S. executive vice president, Food.

According to Laney, the company is currently rolling out the pricing and the markdowns will be in effect through Dec 26.

Across the Garden State, Walmart has 70 locations.
