We are getting close to that time of year with the "eating" holiday, as I like to call it. There are so many events around this time of year that it can get rather expensive if you are the one hosting most of them.

EXPENSIVE

There are some solutions so that one person isn't bearing all of the weight of hosting and preparing all of the food, decor and and anything else needed.  A lot of people will do the "pot luck" type of a gathering.  Where the host will prepare the main dish, and everyone else brings something with them to share.

That is usually a great idea.  Sometimes everyone is crunched for time, so there are some other solutions.  Order the meal from some restaurant, but that can get kind of pricey too.

HERE IS A GREAT IDEA

You can get an entire Thanksgiving meal for 10 people for only $40 from ALDI. That's awesome!  And if you  have more people than that coming to your Thanksgiving dinner, you could even probably afford to buy two at that price.  Dinner for 20 people for only $80???  Score!!

WHAT DO YOU GET

I know you might be thinking that it's going to only be a few items and you will still need to supplement with other food.  Maybe not... check out what you get for your $40.

  • a 14-pound turkey
  • rolls
  • cranberry sauce
  • mac and cheese
  • stuffing
  • mashed potatoes with gravy
  • carrots
  • sweet potato casserole
  • green bean casserole
  • pumpkin pie

That's a significant amount of food!  And, while this deal is centered around Thanksgiving, but the deal lasts from now through Christmas Eve!

HOW DO YOU GET THIS DEAL

Aldi shoppers can get their Thanksgiving meal items in person at their local store or by ordering online for curbside pickup. The items are purchsed individually but marked for the deal on the store shelf, Aldi said in a release.The deal is also available when ordering through Instacart, Uber Eats or DoorDash
