Thanksgiving is sneaking up, slowly but surely. Once it's here, dinner may not be the only thing on your mind, but it probably ranks high on your to-do list. Thankfully, Target has just announced that its Thanksgiving Meal is back, and it is better than ever at $5 less than last year. That means you can serve a family of four for only $20.
That’s huge, especially when you consider that in August 2022, the rate of inflation for food stood at 11.4%, which was the highest since May 1979, per the U.S. Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In October alone, the price of food jumped 5.3%.
Thanks to Target, the $20 Thanksgiving meal includes everything you need for a traditional Thanksgiving feast for a family of four, which can easily be doubled to serve eight.

Let's talk turkey
Did you know that there are four U.S. Towns Named Turkey! They are in Texas, Arizona, Louisiana and North Carolina. Every year it is estimated that 46 million turkeys are prepared to provide the traditional Thanksgiving feast. That's not all, every year Americans devour three billion calories from turkey alone. Can you imagine how high that number would be if every other dish were included!
