Costco's $200 Thanksgiving Dinner: What's in the Box, What It Costs and When to Order
Thanksgiving is just weeks away, and Costco has a ready-made feast for hosts who'd rather skip the shopping.
The bundle costs $199.99 and works out to about $25 per person.
The price
The regular price is $269.99, but a $70 manufacturer's discount brings it down through Nov. 30 while supplies last.
It's sold online only, and shipping is included in the price.
What's included
The bundle has 12 items and about 30 pounds of food in total.
Here's the full list:
- 5-pound turkey breast
- 3 pounds each of mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, sweet corn, green bean casserole and cornbread stuffing
- 2 pounds of candied yams
- 12 dinner rolls
- 24 ounces of turkey gravy and 20 ounces of cranberry relish
- A 2-pound apple cobbler and a 2-pound pumpkin pie
Little cooking required
The turkey comes pre-brined and ready to roast.
Many of the sides only need heating or minimal preparation, according to Costco.
Key dates to know
- Order deadline: Nov. 13
- Delivery window: Nov. 4 to Nov. 20
The catch: it arrives frozen
The meal ships frozen through FedEx with second-day delivery.
You'll want to clear some freezer space before it arrives.
How it compares
Costco isn't the only retailer going for value this year.
Walmart announced a $35 holiday basket with 26 items that it says feeds 10 people, or about $3.50 per person.
Costco's kit costs more, but it's mostly prepared food, while Walmart's basket is a different kind of product.
Why bundles like this are appealing
Food prices are up 2.5% compared with last year, according to the September Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index.
Over the same period, food at home rose 1.8%, while food away from home climbed 3.5%.
The bottom line
If you're feeding eight and want a low-effort holiday, this bundle is worth a look.
Just order by Nov. 13 and make room in the freezer.
