Thanksgiving is so much more than the interlude between Halloween and Christmas: It’s a chance to sit down with family and friends, savor a good meal and enjoy quality time together. However, with food prices rising, you might worry about your wallet getting starved as you prepare your Thanksgiving feast. Luckily, as a Target shopper, you can rest assured that you’ll find some sweet deals — even on the savory items. 

Many other customers may have the same idea, meaning some of the best Thanksgiving treats could be gone before you know it. The time to shop is now. GOBankingRates has rounded up a few Thanksgiving items to grab before they sell out. 

Good & Gather Premium Basted Young Turkey

• Price: $12.64

Let’s be real: Your odds of getting a plump Thanksgiving turkey weighing between 10 and 16 pounds for less than $20 are pretty slim. Yet that’s exactly what you’ll find with this frozen turkey from the renowned Good & Gather brand. It already comes packed with excellent flavor worth gobbling about — marinated with turkey broth, salt, sugar and other seasonings. There’s even a gravy packet to make meal prep easier. 

Stove Top Stuffing Mix for Turkey

• Price: $1.89 

Nobody’s going to know you didn’t make the stuffing yourself — that’s how good Stove Top is. Why go through the hassle of buying your own ingredients and wearing yourself out over the stove? This 6-ounce box from Target serves six people in one sitting, and at under $2 a box, you can feed a large gathering at a low cost. 

Banza Gluten Free Chickpea Shells and Vegan Cheddar

• Price: $3.59 

Odds are high that someone at your gathering will have a gluten sensitivity, so why not be prepared with a protein-packed addition to your Thanksgiving table? If you’re heading to a Friendsgiving celebration hosted by your vegan pals — and you have no idea how to cook vegan food — this spin on mac and cheese will be a crowd-pleaser for everyone, including your wallet. 

Good & Gather Fresh Russet Potatoes, 5 Pounds

• Price: $2.59 

The potato is a versatile vegetable — perfect for frying, mashing and baking. All these options will be a hit with your Thanksgiving guests, and you can give yourself plenty of flexibility with a 5-pound bag of potatoes for less than $5. Find yourself with leftovers? Just pop them in the microwave with some butter and you’ve got a cheap, easy snack. 

Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce

• Price: $1.99 

Sure, turkey may be the main attraction of Thanksgiving (they do call it Turkey Day), and stuffing and sweet potatoes are popular too. But Thanksgiving just isn’t Thanksgiving without cranberry sauce — and Ocean Spray is well-known for making some of the sweetest, freshest cranberry sauce around. Grab it at this low price, and make sure you have plenty left over for Christmas.
