Thanksgiving Meal Kits From The Grocery Store

[Jazzy1]

Anyone ever order a complete Thanksgiving meal from a grocery store?

If so, was it good?

Grocery stores don't offer that in my area, but a few restaurants do.

IDK... you still have to deal with what they provide. For me, it is just as easy (AND cheaper) to do it myself.

Yes, once years ago. It was from an up scale store we shopped at. I'd say it was close to $100 then. It was about 25 years ago. It was about 2x what something equivalent from a standard grocery store would have cost. It was very good, home made would still would have been better, but it was worth everyone getting the day off.

 

[Aunt Bea]

No, it’s not for me.

I don’t fuss anymore and am able to get a basic meal, with a holiday feel, ready and into the oven in less than an hour for much less than most of the packages cost.

I just checked to see if my local WalMart offers it and they do. I have not used it and personally wouldn't, but it seems like a good deal. What they have for $40 this year offers a menu of turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, carrots, green bean casserole, mac & cheese, stuffing, dinner rolls, and pumpkin pie:

I did that once, back in Virginia, because my son was born on October 13 and I was expecting a bunch of family. It was rather expensive, but delicious! And it was worth it not to have to prepare everything from scratch a mere 6 weeks after giving birth.

I wish they made dinner kits for singles. Not just a tv dinner but an actual heat and serve turkey dinner with all the trimmings. But we don't have that stuff here. I can't even find that Walmart meal kit so I'm wondering if it's even available where I am. Not that I'd need that much food to begin with. LOL!

Late wife decided to try one of those ready-made Turkey dinners
it did not go over well....never again...

Looks more like a shopping list than an actual meal kit...

I haven't but I've seen the sign at my local store. Looks pretty good and can see why people would do it. If they had smaller deals with Cornish Hens instead of turkey, I might consider it.

Over the years and a few times, I have ordered a full Thanksgiving meal
from our nice local grocery store. It was good actually, no complaints,
and a good variety of fixings. Maybe just a tad bit too salty for my taste
but all in all, was pleased.

That list definitely isn’t a dinner which was sent. Read the entire list, includes a 5 ibs bag of potatoes

The Thanksgiving meal kit (and thus, list) is to feed 7-11 people.

That makes more sense.
Thank you CallMeKate!
