The Kroger Co. says its offering shoppers a “zero-compromise” Thanksgiving meal with a holiday basket that includes all the staples for less than $5 per person — even more affordable than the retailer’s turkey day bundle last year.

“No matter how families gather, Kroger’s Thanksgiving is Fresh for Everyone,” Rodney McMullen, Kroger’s chairman and CEO, said in a news release. “We are especially thankful for our incredible associates and truly grateful for our customers and the communities we serve who trust us to feed their families and allow Kroger to be part of their special celebrations.

“This year, we are bringing more to the table for less, with a holiday basket that gives thanks no matter what your traditions are. Food connects us all,” he added.

This season, Kroger says it is once again offering customers an affordable meal with zero-compromise on value, convenience or quality. The holiday basket includes a frozen turkey, fresh cranberries, yams, Idaho potatoes, corn, green beans, a pumpkin pie and more.

Kroger says its customers can also look forward to more savings, including multiple weekly digital deals, Kroger’s 5x event beginning Nov.15 that allows digital coupons to be redeemed up to five times, 4X fuel points Fridays and 4X fuel points on gift card purchases (limited time only).

Thanksgiving hosts and chefs looking for holiday inspiration can find recipes, appetizer ideas, turkey tips and more at Kroger’s blog, The Fresh Lane.

For families who want to spend less time in the kitchen and more time around the table, Home Chef offers heat-and-eat Thanksgiving meals and sides at Kroger Family of Companies stores nationwide. The simple proteins and sides can be bundled for more savings, including a boneless turkey and five sides serving six people, starting at $65, according to the release.

Customers can choose from sides such as old-fashioned bread stuffing, sweetpotato souffle, turkey gravy, creamy scalloped potatoes and more.

The company says the price per person is inclusive of store coupons and discounts and that pricing may vary by geography.
