Target Offers a Budget-Friendly Way to Host Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is the best time of the year to give thanks and gather with your loved ones around the dinner table sharing stories and delicious food. While we might love Thanksgiving and all it has to offer, we don't love the prices that inevitably come with the holiday.
The average American can expect to pay just over $35 for their Thanksgiving turkey and around $175 for a table of six. Although the price of a turkey has seemed to decrease slightly from last year, other prices of popular ingredients for your holiday meal such as cranberries and potatoes are increasing.
For some, this may not be an issue, but for many Americans who are dealing with inflation not only in the grocery store but at the gas station, department store, and even in their mortgage rate, spending a pretty penny on one meal can be daunting.
However, this special holiday doesn't have to break the bank as retailers like Target are making Thanksgiving even more affordable than last year.
What is Target's Meal Deal?
Imagine buying your entire Thanksgiving meal for your family for $20. This might sound impossible as you can barely get a turkey at that price, but Target's Meal Deal is offering it to their shoppers at $5 cheaper than last year.
If this deal doesn't seem good enough already, Target had annouced they were also lowering their prices for around 8,000 items to help make Thanksgiving and the holidays in general more affordable for everyone.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, grocery prices have been increasing by 1.3% every year. But Target is one of the retailers that is trying to get shoppers in the door with their enticing prices. Specifically their Thanksgiving turkey which has been reduced to $0.79 per pound - 20% lower than last year.
