BEST Thanksgiving Food Deals! Plus, Feed a Family of 6-8 for only $21!

*THANK YOU FREEBIES2DEALS for posting this awesome blog about Thanksgiving dinner staples! You still have time to make it to the grocery stores for these sales! 

Ok, Thanksgiving is almost upon us. I decided that we needed to break down the prices of the “Staple” items most of us use on Thanksgiving Day. So, I’ve put together a list of the prices for Walmart,Target and Smith’s (my local Kroger store).
Here is the breakdown:

	Target	Smiths	Walmart
Turkey	$.79 lb	$1.49 lb	$.68 lb
Gravy	$0.89	$0.75	$0.98
Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom	$0.59	$0.49	$0.60
Stove Top	$0.89	$0.99	$1.25
Canned Beans	$0.49	$0.49	$0.68
French’s Onions	$2.79	$2.99	$2.92
5 lb Potatoes	$1.99	$1.69	$1.47
Swanson Broth	$0.59	$0.49	$0.50
Cranberry Sauce	$1.19	$0.99	$1.16
Totals	$18.90	$26.76	$17.72
Totals wo/Turkey	$9.42	$8.88	$9.56

As you can see the Smith’s sale actually is the cheapest option if you just need to purchase all of the side options. And, Walmart has the cheapest price for the Turkey. And, if you have other smaller chain stores in your area, you might even find better prices than that. So, be watching. 
Also, even though Walmart’s side dish items are more expensiv ethan the Kroger owned stores, combined with the Turkey prices, in this scenario, it is cheaper overall to purchase your entire Thanksgiving Meal items through Walmart. You can actually purchase your Thanksgiving and feed a family of 6-8 for only $21!
Purchase Entire Thanksgiving Meal for $21 at Walmart!
12 Pound Grade A Turkey $.68 a lb
2 Cans Campbell’s Gravy $.75 Each
3 Cans Del Monte Green Beans $.68 each
1 Can Cranberry Sauce $1.16
2 Boxes of Stove Top Stuffing $1.25 Each
5 lb Bag of Potatoes $1.47
10 Count Bakery Rolls $1.68
2 Cans Cream of Mushroom Soup $.60 Each
(**Keep in mind, this is WITHOUT coupons you can drop the price even more with printable coupons on some of these products)
Want to try your hand using coupons on these Thanksgiving Staples?? Here is a list of printable coupons and coupons from the Sunday Paper:

• $1.00 off 5 Campbell’s Condensed Soups
• $.40 off 4 Campbell’s Condensed Great for Cooking Soups Coupon from the 10-9-11 SS
• $1 off 5 Swanson Broth Cans Coupon from the 11-6-11 SS
• $1 off 2 Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce Coupon
• $.50 off 4 Campbell’s Gravies Coupon
• $.50 offFrench’s Fried Onions coupon from the 11-06-11 SS
• $.40 off French’s Fried Onions Coupon

Hope this helps everyone with their Thanksgiving Shopping lists! Let us know if you find other rocking deals too!
If you like to shop at Winco, and are purchasing a big meal, you might want to consider these deals they have going on right now.  You can get a Free Turkey for every $100 you spend.


**Important: The Smith’s/Kroger Sale ends tonight (11/15). So if you want the prices I listed above, you will need
to go tonight. Also, all of Walmart’s prices were not advertised. So, your store might have them a little cheaper or more expensive depending on where you live.
