How to spend even less

• Only buy what you'll cook. A bundle is cheap only if you'd buy most of the items anyway. Skip the ones you already have.
• Stack a free turkey. BJ's, ShopRite, Giant Eagle and Hy-Vee have confirmed 2026 free turkey offers, and Ibotta's Any Brand Turkey cash-back offer runs through Nov 26. See free turkey for Thanksgiving 2026.
• Watch turkey weight. Most prices assume a set size; a bigger bird raises the total.
• Use store brands for broth, butter, canned pumpkin and flour. Our grocery bill guide covers more.
