With Halloween over, the holiday season is in full swing with Thanksgiving and Christmas soon to come. That means, of course, big Thanksgiving dinners — at work parties, family homes and friendly get-togethers. Yet while that’s something to indeed be thankful for, it can be a rather stressful responsibility — even on your budget — to host a Thanksgiving dinner for any or all of the above.
GOBanking Rates is here to help, along with the wholesaling giant Costco. We’ve put together a shopping list for anyone tasked with hosting a Thanksgiving dinner, a list that adheres to a strict $100 budget to make the holiday experience as cost-effective as possible.
Halal Frozen Whole Young Turkey
- Price: $63.99 (originally $79.99)
This sizeable, uncooked turkey is the delicious centerpiece to any Thanksgiving dinner. It was raised without antibiotics and is hormone and steroid free. The arrival of this 15- to 17-pound turkey will keep any host from having to stress about feeding a large Thanksgiving get-together.
Del Monte Canned Cut Green Beans
- Price: $10.49 (originally $12.99)
Greens are a crucial part of any Thanksgiving dinner and this 12-can set of green beans — that come in 14 ounces each — should cover any holiday dinner spread with plenty left to last well into December for several other dinners.
Del Monte Canned Corn
- Price: $10.49 (originally $12.99)
As a companion to the 12-can set of Del Monte green beans comes this 12-can box of fresh whole kernel corn (15.25 ounces each) with just a dash of sea salt as a tasty side dish for any Thanksgiving party.
Idahoan Real Premium Mashed Potatoes
- Price: $8.69 (was $10.99)
What’s Thanksgiving without potatoes? Costco has shoppers covered with these kosher and gluten-free real mashed potatoes. While it’s doubtful that the average Thanksgiving dinner host will have to feed more than 5-6 guests maximum, the heaping helping of these 3.25-pound mashed potatoes can feed up to a whopping 65 people. That’s plenty of leftovers this Thanksgiving.
