Americans face another crucial decision in November this year: where to buy the ingredients needed for Thanksgiving dinner.

Among them, Walmart, the largest retailer, stated on Wednesday that this year's $35 meal basket offers more food and is also cheaper than last year's version, and this promotion also includes free delivery.

More specifically, the company stated that this combination offers 18% more products than last year, and at a 12% lower price, which is also the lowest price ever for this meal basket.

Other retailers have also managed to reduce the prices of holiday meal discounts, which highlights that this year, amidst rising costs in other areas, everyone is placing more emphasis on value for money.

Per capita, the price of these meal baskets usually ranges from $3.50 to $5, but a key difference lies in the level of effort required for cooking.

Walmart, Lidl, and Aldi offer budget-friendly meal kits that rely more on ingredients and are suitable for cooking a whole meal from scratch; whereas the meal sets from Albertson, Costco, Sam, and Club are more expensive, but can generally be heated and eaten directly after opening. Target indicates that their basic meal kit for $30 can be used in conjunction with ready-made menu items.

The following is the content of the holiday meal packages offered by major retailers, along with the cost per portion.
