This year Target has dropped prices on select Thanksgiving meal essentials. This means for under $20 you can get all your basics!

Last year these items to feed four people were priced at around $25 at Target. Here’s what you can get this year for under $20..

DEAL IDEA: Buy Good & Gather Premium Frozen Turkey up to 10 lb .79/lb = $7.90
& Buy Good & Gather Russet Potatoes 5 lb ($2.79)
& Buy Del Monte Cut Green Beans 14.5 oz ($1.59)
& Buy Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup 10.5 oz ($1.39)
& Buy Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce 14 oz $1.99 (reg. $2.19)
& Buy Stove Top Turkey Stuffing Mix 6 oz $1.99 (reg. $2.69)
& Buy Heinz Home Style Roasted Turkey Gravy 12 oz $1.99 (reg. $2.69)
= $19.64

Honestly though, this scenario by Target leaves me a bit curious. I would think the Cream of Mushroom soup would be for Green Bean Casserole, so you’d probably want to get 2 cans of green beans along with some French’s Crispy Fried Onions. 

Plus, if you are like my family, you would want rolls and of course pie for dessert. So my thoughts for a deal to still keep the final price under $30 would be something like below, just keep in mind pricing can and will vary by store…

DEAL IDEA: Buy Good & Gather Premium Frozen Turkey up to 10 lb .79/lb = $7.90
& Buy Idahoan Instant Potatoes $1.49
& Buy 2 Good & Gather Cut Green Beans 14.5 oz (.55) = $1.10
& Buy Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup 10.5 oz ($1.39)
& Buy Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce 14 oz $1.99 (reg. $2.19)

Speaking of Thanksgiving meal essentials, did you know that Butterball now has a, yes for real, a turkey that can be cooked from frozen! I am not seeing it at Target, but it does seem to be readily available at Publix. You can check to see if it is available near you on the Butterball site.

Also be sure and check for bonus Circle offers you might be able to use for additional savings, and, keep in mind you will save an extra 5% with your Circle card!
