You Can Feed 16 People Thanksgiving Dinner for Just $10 Per Person—Here’s How

The complete 2026 Member's Mark spread serves 16 people for less than $10 per person and is ready in under two hours. Based on member feedback, the retailer has added more dishes and larger portions to this year's offerings. The new additions include ham, a charcuterie board, and turkey gravy, plus larger portions of shopper favorites like mac and cheese, green beans, and pumpkin pie.

In addition to surveying members, the Sam's Club team cooked and tasted Thanksgiving meals from their competitors. They also analyzed industry trend data to plan the feast.

This year's meal includes 11 Member's Mark items for about $160, while last year's had 9 dishes. The feast includes a boneless carved ham, hickory-smoked turkey, Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, green beans with dried cranberries and almonds, macaroni and cheese, sweet corn with garlic butter, cranberry crunch salad, yeast dinner rolls, charcuterie tray, and two 12-inch pumpkin pies. Sam's Club's "Made Without" Commitment removes over 40 ingredients from all its Member's Mark food and beverage products, including certified synthetic colors, artificial flavors, aspartame, and high-fructose corn syrup.

Members can add the Thanksgiving meal to their carts with a single click in the Sam's Club app or on SamsClub.com, then choose curbside pickup or delivery, with express delivery available. Sam's Club is also offering curated wine pairings to complement the meal. The meal will be available in club and online beginning October 28. Members can shop for the full meal with one click or choose individual items to build their own holiday spread.

Ashley Peoples, senior director of product development at Sam's Club, said in a press release that the meal not only saves money but also valuable time. "If a member purchased ingredients for all 11 items and cooked everything from scratch, we calculated it would take the average person 7 to 9 hours to prepare this meal based on average household cooking times," she said. "Being able to prepare it in about two hours gives our members more time with their friends, family, and loved ones."

Aldi recently announced it's also cutting the cost of ingredients for a traditional Thanksgiving feast; shoppers can purchase everything they need to prepare a full meal for under $39 from the grocery chain.
