You know it’s bad when corporations actually start stepping in to try and ensure people will have food for the holidays once SNAP benefits run out

It’s not super big, but aldi and walmart are both selling entire thanksgiving meals for 10 people for $40, which is actually cheaper than their price in previous years. And im pretty sure at least for Aldi, they’re selling them at a small profit loss

Hmmm that’s interesting. Maybe it’s a loss leader like Costco’s hot dogs? Some people think the rotisserie chicken doesn’t make a profit or the margins are SUPER thin. But it gets people in the door to buy other things

They have a very similar outlooks as Costco when it comes to cost cutting so that could be it. They’re also a decent company overall from what I’ve heard. Apparently they also give their employees $70 gift cards to the store on thanksgiving and Christmas to be able to buy dinner. If there was one in my state they’d be getting my business

Aldi in general is extremely goated and my favorite grocery store to shop at. Meats/produce are usually locally sourced (when they can) to bring down prices. And all the snacks and such are dirt cheap but still quality
