Thanksgiving Meal for Eight at Walmart (and Giveaway)

Don’t we all just love Thanksgiving? It’s the one day where we know in advance we’re going to eat like it’s our last day on earth. And we’re cool with that.

But it’s expensive….mannity man man, it can be expensive.

But wait. I just heard of a little deal-io that Walmart is offering and it’s such a good deal that I said heck yeah, I’ll tell my readers about it.

Walmart is offering a Thanksgiving Meal for Eight for as low as $20. I.Kid.You.Not.

The Thanksgiving meal includes:

* 12-pound grade-A turkey
* 3 cans of Green Giant veggies
* 3 boxes of Stove Top stuffing mix
* 5-pound bag of red potatoes
* 2 cans of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce
* Sara Lee dinner rolls
* Pumpkin roll cake for dessert

For me, they sealed the deal with that pumpkin roll. The rest is just a bonus.

And for those of you with less than a clue about how to use these ingredients, the website also has some wonderful holiday recipes by Food Network star Melissa d’Arabian.

For a little extra holiday help for your budget, I have 2 (two) $30 Walmart gift cards to give away!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Walmart. In addition, I received a Walmart gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate and two to offer as a giveaway.
