Aldi has made a huge splash just in time for Thanksgiving next week.
They have announced something remarkable: a full Thanksgiving feast for 10 people for only $40.
That’s right — that works out to a mind-blowing $4 per person.
Seriously, where can you go out to eat and get a meal for $4? You can’t! Yet, Aldi has compiled 21 essential products that you need to put together a complete Thanksgiving meal, and they’ve priced the entire basket so you can do it for 40 bucks.
And I mean, that is truly great news for your wallet.
The Aldi Effect: How One Grocer Saves You Money
This is a powerful moment in the grocery world. Aldi is now becoming so influential in the grocery aisle that others have to respond.
Aldi used to be like a flea on the back of an elephant, a tiny irritation that traditional supermarkets could ignore. But not anymore. They now have to pay attention to Aldi’s moves. You’re going to see other grocery chains falling all over themselves in the coming days, rushing out their own versions of, “Hey, wait a minute, we’ve got a cheap way for you to do your Thanksgiving feast, too!”
That, my friends, is the power of competition, and it’s why smart shoppers should be supporting discounters like Aldi. This helps you seriously save money on groceries. When one company lowers the price, the pressure on everyone else increases, and the consumer always wins.
Confession: Clark Howard’s Perfect Thanksgiving Meal
Now, this is going to sound really terrible, and it may make me a bad person, but I have a confession to make: I don’t actually like traditional Thanksgiving food. It’s just not my thing.
I will, of course, enjoy some things that are in addition to the traditional meal, but if I were designing my perfect Thanksgiving feast, it would be something else entirely.
My perfect Thanksgiving meal would be:
- Scrambled cheese eggs.
- Bacon, extra crispy.
- Raisin toast.
Sadly, because of my heart valve, those things are mostly off-limits to me now. Even low-sodium versions of those comfort foods are tough to find.
Final Thoughts
But even if I’m not a fan of turkey and stuffing, I am a huge fan of saving money, and Aldi is delivering a massive opportunity for all of us to do exactly that this holiday.
Take advantage of this deal, and keep watching those traditional supermarkets — they will be forced to match it!
