Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, Nov. 27 this year, which is right around the corner. If Thanksgiving meal planning is weighing heavy on your mind (and your wallet), Aldi is offering some good news: Thanksgiving for $4 per plate. That’s right, you can serve a full Thanksgiving meal for 10 people for $40. Here’s how to pull off turkey day in a thrifty way.

According to a press release, the Aldi Thanksgiving meal includes a 14-pound turkey, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, rolls and pumpkin pie. Unfortunately, this amazing price for a Thanksgiving feast requires a bit of legwork. Don’t expect to walk into Aldi and pick up a a ready-made dinner for 10.
