Thanksgiving is officially less than a month away. Three grocery chains and two warehouse clubs are offering Turkey Day meal deals, at a cost of as little as $3.50 per person.

These stores have bundled the key items for the big meal in one package to simplify your shopping.

Here’s a look at stores offering a helping hand this Thanksgiving.

Target

Target is offering the fixings for a Thanksgiving meal that feeds six people for $30. That’s $5 per person, the same as last year.

Aldi

Aldi’s Thanksgiving meal feeds 10 for less than $39, or just under $4 per person. You don’t need coupons, a loyalty card or a membership. Aldi based the meal on the one the American Farm Bureau Federation uses for its annual Thanksgiving dinner cost survey.

Walmart

Walmart‘s holiday meal basket serves 10 for $35, or $3.50 per person. The 26-item bundle costs 12% less than the same items did last year, and you don’t need a membership or coupon.

The basket includes:

  • Butterball Frozen Whole Turkey — 10 to 16 pounds (97 cents per pound)
