Target Corporation has unveiled a reduction in the cost of its Thanksgiving meal, now priced $5 less than last year's offering. At $20, this special meal includes turkey, stuffing, and five additional side dishes, providing enough food to serve four individuals.
From November 13 to 16, Target is providing a complimentary frozen pizza with any same-day delivery order for members of the Target Circle 360 paid program, in celebration of Thanksgiving Eve, one of the busiest pizza days of the year.
In an official announcement, Target detailed additional measures aimed at making Thanksgiving both affordable and enjoyable. The company will offer turkey at just 79 cents per pound, a 20% decrease from the previous year's price per pound.
The Minneapolis-based retailer also presents a wide selection of sides, pies, and desserts all priced under $5, along with nearly 700 new food, beverage, and entertainment items.
Target stated that the $20 Thanksgiving meal includes all essentials for a traditional feast that serves four people, with the option to double them to accommodate eight.
The meal features items such as Good & Gather Premium Basted Young Turkey (Frozen), Good & Gather Russet Potatoes, Del Monte Cut Green Beans, Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup, Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce, Stove Top Turkey Stuffing Mix, and Heinz Home Style Roasted Turkey Gravy.
Moreover, Target is introducing additional menu options, such as side dishes like Good & Gather Cheddar Mac and Cranberry Goat Cheese, and desserts such as Favorite Day apple and pumpkin pie, all available for under $5.
For hosting and gift-giving, Target offers a variety of options like fresh flowers, wines, the Good & Gather charcuterie entertaining tray, appetizers, desserts, and more.
Additionally, throughout the season, designer and long-standing Target collaborator John Derian presents a limited-edition Thanksgiving home collection including exquisite dinnerware and novelty pillows, all under $40, both in stores and online at Target.com.
Meanwhile, British retailer Marks & Spencer features 12 exclusive gourmet food and beverage gifts, including the Gingerbread Tin and Salted Caramel Pinecones, along with 11 new home items such as London-themed ornaments and mugs, all designed for easy gifting without the need for wrapping, priced under $20.
Furthermore, Target's owned and exclusive brands, like Figmint kitchenware, Threshold, and Hearth & Hand with Magnolia, introduce new, Target-exclusive gift and home decor options starting at $5.
In preparation for the holiday season, Target recently announced its strategy to decrease regular prices on over 2,000 items across its own and national brands to maintain a competitive edge in the market. These new price cuts enhance the company's everyday low pricing.
Collectively, during the holidays, Target will offer reduced prices on more than 10,000 items compared to last year, including food, beverages, everyday essentials, holiday gifts, and more. Back in May, the company revealed plans to lower prices on approximately 5,000 products.
In comparison, Walmart Inc. commenced its holiday meal offer in mid-October, providing customers a Thanksgiving meal for under $7 per person. This offering, introduced earlier than last year and at a lower price, is available from October 14 through December 25. This year, Walmart's meal package includes 29 items, serving eight people for less than $7 per person.
