Everyone has been there: You get a last-minute invite to a Friendsgiving party or you wake up and realize, oh no, you’ve got to get something for the family Thanksgiving and your cooking skills are — well, you wouldn’t exactly be a top contender on “Top Chef.” It’s time to grab and go. But how do you find something that will taste great at a very good price?
If you’re a regular Aldi shopper, then you already know you can get exactly what you need to make everyone at the table, not to mention your bank account, quite grateful. GOBankingRates took a look at some of the perfect foods to bring for Thanksgiving.
Belmont Whipped Cheesecake: $6.49
While pie may be the pinnacle of the Thanksgiving table, you’d also be quite popular for changing pace with this delightful whipped cheesecake. With every sweet, luscious bite, the folks at your table will be singing your praises — or, you could keep it in your fridge, put it on a serving platter, and call it your grandmother’s favorite recipe.
Gluten-Free Mashed Sweet Potatoes With Black Pepper: $5.49
What’s better than sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving? How about mashed potatoes? Or, best of all, both in one? These sweet mashed potatoes are a fantastic addition to any table, and the little dash of black pepper and sea salt gives it an extra bit of verve. Just heat and serve this side dish with the knowledge that it’s gluten-free and paleo-friendly — all of the decadent flavor, only healthier than it has a right to be.
Truffle & Porcini Mushroom Macaroni & Cheese: $2.75
Is there anything better than mac and cheese — not just at Thanksgiving, but all year ’round? Hypothetical question. Of course there’s not. You can be the rockstar of your gathering with this Italian-style macaroni and cheese with sumptuous truffle sauce. Just be sure to get some extra ones for your own fridge.
Pumpkin Cake Roll: $5.45
Nothing says Thanksgiving like pumpkin, and nothing is more versatile as a dessert than this sumptuously sweet pumpkin cake roll. Bring it as an after-dinner treat, or even as a pre-meal breakfast treat. This one is perfect with a coffee as the guests come in.
Cooked Shrimp Ring: $8.79
Who says that all Thanksgiving offerings have to be sweet or even traditional? Bring this appetizer to the table, along with a cocktail sauce of your choice, for a unique Turkey Day snacking experience.
