As pumpkin spice season reaches its zenith, many people’s thoughts turn to Thanksgiving.

Specifically, how you’re going to feed a whole lot of people on a small budget. Or how you could give your dinner table the flavor of luxury without putting your wallet on a hardcore diet.

The good news is that you can find all the deliciousness you need at prices that will make your mouth water at a potentially surprising place. 

While you might not think of Whole Foods as the cheapest place to grocery shop, you can actually find a number of sumptuous options for the budget conscious gourmand.

GOBankingRates wandered the aisles to select some of the best options for your table. 

Spanakopita: $9.29

Every truly swanky soiree — or at least, the kind of party your guests will remember — needs a table full of appetizers. Why not offer your guests some flaky, delightfully cheesy, spanakopita to keep them satiated, but not too full, before the main courses arrive?

You’re proving a more unique and flavorful alternative to the standard snacks of chips and dip. The Whole Foods 365 brand offers you a cheaper option than bakery-made treats as well. 

Goodles Mac & Cheese — Down the Hatch: $3.99

What’s better than mac and cheese? How about mac and cheese with chile poppers? Or, even better, mac and cheese with chile poppers that tastes as good as it is good for you.

With 14 grams of protein, eight grams of fiber, and 21 nutrients derived from plants, these spicy noodles will be a popular addition to your table. 

Sweet Potatoes: $1.99 per pound with Amazon Prime

Sweet potatoes are the crown jewels of any Thanksgiving dinner. Make ’em into pies or whip ’em up with garlic and thyme, they’re delicious and versatile.

They go on sale in the lead up to Thanksgiving, less than $2 for Amazon Prime members, but even non-members can get them for the low price of $2.21 per pound. 

Vegan Croissants: $7.49

Make sure you have treats for your friends and family members of all dietary preferences with these delicious vegan croissants.

Perfect as a side dish for meals at the table, smothered in vegan butter, or even as a breakfast option for overnight guests, you can even serve them to your non-vegan pals to great success. 

Organic Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Value Pack: $6.99 per pound 

Thanksgiving might be defined by a golden-brown turkey at the center of the table, but chicken is gaining in popularity.

With the Whole Foods 365 brand, you can get a healthy, organic, easy-to-prepare boneless chicken breast that will bring a bit of versatility to your table.
