Lidl’s Thanksgiving turkey deal is so cheap, shoppers can’t resist—and it beats Walmart’s price by a mile!

Thanksgiving is coming up fast, and shoppers are already thinking about the big meal—from that golden turkey centerpiece to creamy mashed potatoes and slices of pumpkin pie.

But hosting a feast for family and friends can stretch even the best budgets, especially with grocery prices that seem to rise every year.

Lidl is helping shoppers save big with a Thanksgiving deal so low that it’s giving the biggest retailers a run for their money.

Lidl’s Gobble-Worthy Turkey Deal​

This year, Lidl is offering a whole frozen turkey for just 25 cents per pound when you use the MyLidl app. Yes, you read that right—twenty-five cents! That means a 14-pound turkey (enough to feed a hungry crowd) will set you back less than the price of a fancy coffee.

But Lidl isn’t stopping at the bird. Their Thanksgiving meal kit includes all the fixings: stuffing, mac and cheese, gravy, rolls, and the ingredients for sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. The best part? You can pick and choose what you need, so you’re not stuck with a box of cranberry sauce if your family’s more into apple butter.

All told, Lidl estimates the full spread will cost around $36—enough to feed 10 people. That’s just $3.60 per person, leaving you with plenty of leftover cash for a bottle of wine (or two) to toast your savvy shopping.

With these ingredients, you can whip up all the classics—plus a few extras for those who like to get creative in the kitchen.

How Does Lidl Stack Up Against Walmart?​

Walmart has long been the go-to for budget-friendly holiday shopping, and this year, they’re offering a Butterball turkey for 97 cents per pound—still a solid deal, but more than 70 cents pricier per pound than Lidl’s offer. Walmart’s meal kit, designed to serve 10, comes in under $40 and includes over 20 items, from stuffing and dinner rolls to corn, baby carrots, and all the fixings for a homemade pumpkin pie.

Walmart is also rolling out “one-click” meal baskets online, including gluten-free and high-protein options, and even a prime rib alternative for those who want to shake things up. Plus, they’re offering free Express Delivery for first-time pickup and delivery customers.

But when it comes to the turkey itself—the centerpiece of the meal—Lidl’s 25-cent-per-pound price is simply unbeatable. For families looking to stretch their holiday dollars, that’s a game-changer.
