Sam’s Club rivals Costco with a new giant Thanksgiving dinner kit
You are probably familiar with Costco’s big Thanksgiving dinner that serves eight people for a pretty economical price. It’s a solid offer and a super-convenient way to serve a tasty meal without all the stress and dirty dishes that go along with making it yourself. But now, Costco has competition. Sam’s Club has joined the premade Thanksgiving dinner arena and its offering is also quite impressive. The wholesaler promises its meal will serve 10 people for under $100, and amid inflation driving up grocery prices (since when is a bag of tortilla chips $6?), that’s a mighty attractive offer.
According to Myron Frazier, senior vice president of Member’s Mark, the company’s Thanksgiving bundle is aimed at Gen Z and Millennial customers who are budget-conscious, but also looking to wow friends and family on Thanksgiving. It certainly holds appeal for the younger set, but I know plenty of older folks and people who just plain don’t like cooking who will love this offer. Each item comes pre-cooked and only needs to be reheated before serving. The whole meal can be ready in under two hours, leaving plenty of time for pre-Black Friday online shopping and a backyard game of tag football.

Here’s how to order your Thanksgiving dinner from Sam’s Club
The Sam’s Club Thanksgiving dinner includes all the usual fixings: a whole, hickory-smoked turkey, a tray of macaroni and cheese, sweet potato mash, cranberry crunch salad, mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts, dinner rolls and a pumpkin pie for dessert.
While you may have to go in person to the Club for a couple of items, depending on your location, most of it is available for purchase online, where you can adjust the quantities as you wish. Each item does need to be purchased separately, but I see this as a huge benefit as that means you can order more of the items you particularly love. Personally, I would double the number of rolls for future turkey and cranberry relish sandwich leftovers, but you do you.
Member’s Mark Hickory Smoked Whole Turkey
The turkeys are fully cooked, made with no antibiotics and available from 9 pounds up to 16 pounds.
Member’s Mark Yeast Dinner Rolls, 24-ct.
It’s simply not Thanksgiving without freshly baked, fluffy dinner rolls. One order includes 24 rolls to sop up all the gravy and cranberry relish you and your lucky guests desire.
Member’s Mark Macaroni and Cheese
This macaroni and cheese is available by the pound, so I would advise ordering slightly more than you need so you can have some on hand in those hazy post-Thanksgiving days when all that will do is a steaming bowl of mac and cheese in front of your favorite Hallmark Christmas movies.
Member’s Mark Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes
These heat-and-serve mashed potatoes are ready in just six to seven minutes, and honestly, they should just be a weekly household staple with that level of convenience. They’re made with Yukon Gold potatoes, real butter and whole milk, so you know they’re delicious.
Member’s Mark 12-inch Pumpkin Pie
This totally classic Thanksgiving dessert comes pre-cooked and should serve between 11 to 14 people, but maybe play it safe and buy two. No one will complain about two pumpkin pies, trust me.
Member’s Mark Brussels Sprouts
Every Thanksgiving dinner needs a little green to offset all that butter and cream. Enter these delicious-looking brussels sprouts. Priced per pound, this tray of seasoned veggies should serve six to eight people and is ready to eat in about 30 minutes.
Member’s Mark Cranberry Crunch Salad
This bright and healthy salad includes baby spinach, walnuts, cranberries, blueberries and feta cheese. Note that several of the product photos show strawberries instead of cranberries, so just make sure that the salad you purchase has the berries you like most.
Member’s Mark Sweet Potato Mash
You could spend ages peeling and cubing up sweet potatoes and mashing them and adding a bunch of ingredients, or you could pop this tray of fluffy, buttery sweet potato mash into the oven and have it ready in about 40 minutes. It’s all up to you, but I know what I’m leaning toward.
