Thanksgiving can be expensive, but if you plan ahead, a $100 budget at Sam’s Club could go a long way.
Here’s a sample Thanksgiving shopping list that covers the essentials and can help you host a festive holiday dinner without spending over a hundred bucks.
Member’s Mark Whole Turkey
- Price: $19.60
A Thanksgiving meal wouldn’t be complete without a turkey. A 20-pound turkey is usually enough to feed 12 to 14 people, especially when you’re serving it alongside several sides. A Sam’s Club Member’s Mark turkey costs around $0.98 per pound. So a 20-pound turkey comes out to around $19.60.
Sam’s Club also sells smoked turkeys. They’re a bit more expensive, but can be worth it if you want to cut down on prep work.
Kinder’s Turkey Bone Broth Gravy
- Price: $5.78 (regularly $7.98)
You can’t have turkey with gravy on the side. This Kinder’s turkey bone broth gravy comes in a pack of two 17-ounce containers, for a 16 total servings. You’ll have plenty for all your guests, as well as some to send home with leftovers.
Member’s Mark Mashed Potatoes
- Price: $6.98 (regularly $7.98)
If you don’t have time to make mashed potatoes from scratch, add Member’s Mark Yukon Gold mashed potatoes to your grocery cart. They cost just under $8 for two packs, and they’re on sale for $1 off right now. Just heat them up and add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a pat of butter before serving.
Member’s Mark Sweet Potato Mash
- Price: $10.37
For those who don’t like mashed potatoes, this sweet potato mash from Sam’s Club is a great alternative. It’s prepared fresh daily and just needs to be popped into the oven for 35 or 40 minutes. Its price varies by weight, but it costs $2.44 per pound.
Kinder’s Homestyle Stuffing Mix
- Price: $8.98
Stuffing is a Thanksgiving essential, and Sam’s Club sells a large 24-ounce bag of homestyle stuffing that tastes surprisingly close to homemade. It’s buttery and herby, and it comes together in minutes. “I used this stuffing mix to top one of our favorite casseroles in lieu of Stove Top recently, and Kinder’s did NOT disappoint! It was less salty and more savory, and very tasty,” a satisfied customer reviewed.
Member’s Mark Dinner Rolls
- Price: $3.98
No Thanksgiving meal is complete without warm and fluffy rolls. This 24-count of dinner rolls costs only $3.98, and they come ready to bake and brown in the oven. Just brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt or herbs, and they’re ready to go. They’re perfect for sopping up gravy or making leftover turkey sandwiches the next day.
Harry’s Cranberry Sauce
- Price: $7.97
Love it or hate it, cranberry sauce is typically a Thanksgiving dinner staple. Sam’s Club sells a two-pack of cranberry sauce, which has 13 servings. It features juicy cranberries with just a bit of sugar, making it a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table.
Member’s Mark Pumpkin Pie
- Price: $5.98
Sam’s Club sells a 12-inch pumpkin pie that’s big enough to feed 11 to 14 people. The filling is made with 100% pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spices. Plus, it’s prepared fresh daily.
“You can’t beat this pumpkin pie for the price. Way cheaper than you can make it from scratch and just as good as grandmas homemade pumpkin pie. Perfect spice and smoothness. Crust was the perfect combination of flaky and buttery,” one customer said.
Member’s Mark Seasonal Variety Coffee Pack
- Price: $19.98
Pick up this seasonal variety coffee pack to serve with dessert. This $20 pack comes with 60 single-serve coffee pods, 15 of each flavor: sweet creme liqueur, butter pecan, cinnamon sugar donut and mocha turtle. It’s perfect for holiday mornings and hosting guests.
Member’s Mark Thanksgiving Oval Paper Plates
- Price: $9.48
To top it off, save yourself the hassle of doing dishes this Thanksgiving and pick up a 50-count pack of these Thanksgiving-themed paper plates from Sam’s Club. They feature a festive design of leaves, pumpkins and pie, and they’re cut-resistant and microwavable for reheating.
Adding it all up, you can get a Thanksgiving dinner — complete with turkey, all the fixings, dessert and plates — for just a bit more than $99 at Sam’s Club. Head to the big-box retailer to prep for the big meal without breaking your budget.
