Amazon Grocery is offering a Thanksgiving shopping list for $25 that includes an eight-pound Butterball turkey, ingredients for traditional sides and supplies for pumpkin pie. The price is attention-grabbing, but whether you can get the deal depends on where you live.
Amazon announced the offer November 2 and says it will run through Thanksgiving Day, November 26, while supplies last. This is food to prepare at home, not a cooked meal: unlike Cracker Barrel’s Thanksgiving heat-and-serve dinners, the turkey and sides require kitchen work.
What’s included in Amazon’s $25 meal?
The centerpiece is an eight-pound frozen Butterball turkey. The branded items also include Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce, two McCormick turkey gravy packets, two boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese, Stove Top stuffing, Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, French’s crispy fried onions and Nestlé Carnation evaporated milk.
Amazon Grocery-branded ingredients fill out the rest of the menu: five pounds of russet potatoes, carrots, canned corn, two cans of green beans, eight crescent rolls, two pie crusts and organic pumpkin puree. Together, they provide the building blocks for mashed potatoes, vegetable sides, green bean casserole and a pumpkin dessert.
There’s an important distinction between getting groceries for dinner and receiving a finished Thanksgiving feast. Shoppers still need to thaw and roast the turkey, cook the vegetables, prepare the side dishes and bake the pie. Pantry seasonings and other cooking supplies may also be needed.
Who can order the $25 Thanksgiving groceries?
The deal is tied to Amazon’s fresh-grocery Same-Day Delivery service, which the company says operates in more than 2,300 U.S. cities and towns. That does not mean every household nationwide can order it at the advertised price.
To check, shoppers can search “$25 Thanksgiving Meal” on Amazon or use the company’s Thanksgiving meal page, then enter their delivery address. Amazon advertises free Same-Day Delivery on qualifying grocery orders of $25 or more, but delivery eligibility and any checkout charges should be confirmed before placing an order.
The offer is scheduled to end November 26, and Amazon says it is available only while supplies last. Individual products may be unavailable in some delivery areas, so shoppers should review the actual cart rather than assuming every listed item is guaranteed.
More turkey discounts are coming in November
The $25 meal is not Amazon’s only Thanksgiving promotion. The company has advertised frozen turkeys starting at 79 cents per pound from November 1 through November 26, plus fresh turkeys starting at 99 cents per pound from November 14 through November 26.
Amazon also lists 40% discounts on certain charcuterie and party snacks through November 14, with another 40%-off promotion for selected prepared sides scheduled for November 15–26. Those are separate offers, not additional items included in the $25 meal.
For the company’s full ingredient list and promotion dates, see Amazon’s November 2 announcement. The bottom line for Thanksgiving shoppers: the advertised $25 buys ingredients for a holiday meal, but finding the deal—and cooking dinner—are still up to you.
