Walmart Brings Back Its $40 Thanksgiving Meal, A Win for Montana Families

If you’ve been feeling the grocery store sting lately, you’re not alone. With prices creeping up on just about everything, Walmart is stepping in again this year with its annual Thanksgiving meal deal and it’s the cheapest one yet.

The big box retailer says you can feed ten people for under $4 a person with its Thanksgiving meal deal, which sounds pretty good for those of us trying to stretch a paycheck a little farther this November.

Everything You Need for a Montana Style Thanksgiving Dinner

This year’s Thanksgiving basket comes packed with more than 20 items, from big-name favorites to Walmart’s own Great Value brand. There’s a Butterball turkey for just 97 cents a pound, the lowest price since 2019, plus everything you’d expect to see on a Montana Thanksgiving table: stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, mac and cheese, rolls, carrots, cranberries, and pumpkin pie fixings. Basically, if you’re cooking for a crowd, this basket saves you both time and money.

Saving Time and Stress for Montana Shoppers This Thanksgiving

Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner put it pretty simply: “We know every dollar and minute counts.”  Walmart’s “one-click” meal basket is designed to make the holidays less stressful and you can shop online, pick up in store, or even have it delivered right to your doorstep, which might be the best news for anyone not looking to battle crowded aisles before Thanksgiving.

New Holiday Meal Options Make Thanksgiving Easier for Montanans

The 2025 lineup includes some new one click baskets inspired by customer feedback. You can now grab a gluten-free Thanksgiving meal, a balanced version with high protein swaps like cauliflower mashed potatoes, or even a Prime Rib holiday dinner if you’re mixing up the menu this year. All options are available now through December 25 for pickup or delivery and if you’re new to Walmart Pickup & Delivery, they’re throwing in free express delivery.

Helping Montana Families Share the Holiday Spirit

In true holiday spirit, Walmart is once again teaming up with The Salvation Army to help families who might not have a meal on the table this year. When you shop your Thanksgiving basket online, you can add a donation at checkout to help provide food for others right here in your own community.
