$20 Thanksgiving Dinner at Walmart


Most of you know that I am so NOT a Walmart fan.  I don’t often shop there and I don’t recommend deals there (for a lot of reasons – none of which are the point of this post) 
Most of you also know that I have very strong feelings about being charitable.  Especially for those of us who are blessed with being able to obtain food and household products for our families with little money out of pocket.  We are blessed, you know.  And I hold that with each blessing comes an obligation --- to bless someone else. 
So as we approach Thanksgiving and thinking about giving – why on earth does my mind wander over to Walmart??  Well, this time, Walmart is doing something good.  Something really good.  Something that will make it easier for those who chose to give not only thanks but to give someone else something to be thankful for too.
Starting November 4th, Walmart is offering the opportunity to purchase complete Thanksgiving meal for right at $20.

This is a list of common ingredients for a real old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner – the kind your grandma used to make. If this is something your family needs this season --- rush right over to Walmart and give thanks --- If (like mine) your family is pretty well set for Thanksgiving but would love to make it better for someone else – then rush right over to Walmart and give thanks too. 

Here’s the deal  $20 for all of this:
One 12-pound Grade A turkey*
Three 11 to 15.5-ounce cans Green Giant vegetables
Two 14-ounce cans Ocean Spray cranberry sauce
Three 6-ounce boxes of Stove Top stuffing
One 5-pound bag of red potatoes
One 12-count package of Sara Lee dinner rolls
One 22-ounce pumpkin roll cake
*Turkeys are being offered at 40 cents/pound so if you go up or down on the turkey, the final price will go up or down as well. 

See you at Walmart?? (I can’t believe I said that!)

This will surely bless alot of people and give them a lot to be thankful for.
