Hosting Thanksgiving dinner can be stressful. You have to worry about getting the house clean, having enough chairs, and making sure you have enough food to feed all of your guests. But between the turkey, sides, and cranberry sauce, the cost of ingredients can add up. Luckily, thanks to Walmart's returning Thanksgiving meal basket—which the brand announced today—you don't have to panic.This year, the annual dinner discount will help you score enough food and ingredients to host 10 people for just under $40. The brand began selling these meal baskets in 2022, but this discount is by far the best one yet. It beats the national average cost of Thanksgiving dinner in 2024, which was an estimated $58 for 10 guests, according to a survey by the American Farm Bureau Federation.Walmart's Thanksgiving basket—which is a bundle of 15 Thanksgiving must-haves like turkey, potatoes, gravy, cranberries, and more—is an estimated total of just $39.92 before tax, and according to a press release provided by the brand, it should serve 10 people. That's only about $4 per person. Compare that to last year's deal, where the Thanksgiving basket served eight people for less than $7 per person.This year, the brand is also offering a pickup and delivery special. If you're a first-time Pickup & Delivery customer, you'll be able to get free express delivery on your purchase if you use the code THANKFUL at checkout.If you're hosting on a budget this year (or if you'd simply like to get your Thanksgiving shopping done in one fell swoop), you'll have from now until December 26 to order the meal basket. In other words, you have the opportunity to use this deal for Christmas, too.And if you're feeling extra thankful for discounted goods while paying for your basket, you can spread the joy with a donation to the Salvation Army at checkout.
