By the time the Halloween decorations go up, Thanksgiving is quick on its heels.
If you’re attending a Thanksgiving gathering and not doing all the cooking, but want to bring a tasty dish on a budget, you can always find some great deals at Walmart.
Whether you plan to go all in on a “traditional” Thanksgiving dish, something that fits your own family or friends’ customs or just bring something to stave off hunger while the main meal cooks, here are six meals to choose from.
And while you’re thinking about holiday fixings, find out where shopping experts buy these Thanksgiving staples.
Hormel Charcuterie Tray
It’s hard to go wrong with a charcuterie tray of salami, cheese and crackers. This Hormel Gatherings party tray includes hard salami and pepperoni sausage made from pork, cheddar and colby jack cheeses and crackers.
This 28-ounce tray of goodness is individually wrapped and ready to go in a plastic deli party tray. All you need to do is unveil it when you arrive. It’s $14.48 for the tray.
Jack Daniels Pulled Pork
Whip up some pulled pork sliders while you wait for dinner with this Jack Daniels pulled pork 16-ounce tray.
The fully-cooked pork is tender, seasoned and ready to heat up — whether you throw it in a pan for a saute, or wrap it in foil and toss it on the grill.
Made from pork shoulder that was slow cooked with hardwood, your Thanksgiving meal will be that much tastier. You’ll pay $10.92 at Walmart.
Chicken Stuffing Mix
You can never have too much stuffing on Thanksgiving, and now you definitely won’t run out. For the super low price of $3.48, you get a two pack of 6-ounce boxes of Stove Top’s chicken stuffing mix at Walmart.
This mix is made with quality herbs, spices and chicken broth, and can serve as a side dish of its own, or mixed in as an ingredient into a tasty bake or cheesy dish of your choosing.
Cheese Tortellini
There’s always someone at Thanksgiving with a picky palate, most likely at the kid’s table, but even sometimes among the adults.
To make sure there’s something tasty and nourishing available to those who might not eat a main course, come prepared with this 19-ounce bag of Great Value cheese tortellini pasta.
It comes frozen, so you can bring as much as you need and save the rest. Add a favorite sauce or just go simple with butter and parmesan. At just $2.98, it’s too great a deal to pass up.
Tyson Southern-Style Breaded Chicken Breast Tenderloins
Just because turkey is the traditional main course of most Thanksgiving tables doesn’t mean everybody likes it. Also, depending on what time your Thanksgiving meal starts, you or the kids may be starving for lunch before dinner is even served.
These frozen Tyson southern-style breaded chicken breast tenderloins, in a 1.56-pound bag, will make sure there’s protein to go around for those who need it.
Easy to pop in the oven, an air fryer, the microwave, or the stovetop — and only $8.47 per bag.
Idahoan Four Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Don’t have time to make a big side dish before the big day due to travel or other obligations? Come prepared with this package of Idahoan four cheese mashed potatoes.
All you need to do is add hot water and mix. They’re made with real Idaho potatoes and blended with a mix of cheeses, including cheddar, bleu, romano, and parmesan. You get two 8-ounce pouches for just $2.53.
