Thanksgiving is all about family, food, and gratitude, but it doesn’t have to break the bank! This year, we challenged ourselves to prepare a full Thanksgiving feast for just $30 using only ingredients from Walmart. Yes, you read that right—$30 for a delicious holiday meal that feeds the whole family!

Here’s how we did it:

Our $30 Thanksgiving Menu

1. Turkey:
   A classic Thanksgiving staple! We opted for a frozen turkey breast, which is affordable and cooks quickly. Perfect for smaller gatherings or when you’re on a budget.

2. Stuffing:
   Walmart’s boxed stuffing mix is not only delicious but also super affordable. Just a little butter and broth, and you’re good to go!

3. Mashed Potatoes:
   We grabbed a bag of potatoes and made creamy mashed potatoes from scratch. Adding a touch of butter and milk took them to the next level.

4. Vegetables:
   Green beans and corn are cost-effective and add a pop of color to your plate. We used frozen options to save money without sacrificing flavor.

5. Gravy:
   To top it all off, we used a simple packet gravy mix that pairs perfectly with the turkey and mashed potatoes.

6. Dessert:
   What’s Thanksgiving without dessert? Walmart’s pumpkin pie was the perfect sweet ending to our meal, and it fit neatly into our $30 budget.

How to Save on Your Thanksgiving Meal

• Shop Smart: Stick to store-brand items and take advantage of Walmart’s rollbacks and everyday low prices.
• Keep It Simple: Focus on essentials. A smaller turkey or pre-made sides can save you both time and money.
• Plan Ahead: Create your menu before you shop and stick to your list to avoid impulse buys.
