Your Miami Thanksgiving Savings Guide

November 3, 2025

With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, the good news for Miami diners and home cooks is that retailers and caterers are rolling out incredible deals to help manage the cost of the holiday feast. Despite reports of wholesale turkey prices rising by 40% due to “economic factors” and disease challenges, competition among stores is keeping your dinner budget friendly.

Here is a guide to the top Thanksgiving savings and catering options for the 305:

Aldi’s $40 Feast: The popular grocery chain is offering a complete Thanksgiving meal that feeds 10 people for only $40!This undercuts last year’s price and includes staples like turkey, cranberry sauce, and potatoes.
Walmart’s Under $40 Basket: Walmart is making a huge push this year with a basket that feeds 10 people for less than $40. The basket includes a Butterball turkey for only $0.97 per pound, its lowest price since 2019, plus over 20 items to cover the entire meal from stuffing to pie ingredients.

Costco’s Complete Feast: The warehouse retailer is serving up a full, ready-made feast that feeds eight people for only $42. This bundle is a great grab and go option for a smaller group.
BJ’s Wholesale Club Turkey Perk: Members who spend $150 or more on Thanksgiving essentials can score a free fresh or frozen Butterball turkey with their purchase.

These promotions are a response to higher overall grocery bills. As Ali Furman with Price Waterhouse Coopers notes, “retailers are putting promotions on for Thanksgiving staples earlier than they typically would, to help people spread out that spend.”

Don’t wait to place your order! Most catering options require pre-ordering several days or a week in advance.
