(LEX 18) — Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away and the week we celebrate is changing.

Last year, nearly a third of Americans planned to order takeout or delivery for the holidays, while 20% were going to eat out for their holiday meal.

Libby Steil told LEX 18 her family opts for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner at home. She doesn’t see them choosing to dine out.

“Everyone comes together and we go through a huge ordeal in the kitchen of my grandmother’s house,” she said. “I think my great-grandmother would turn in her grave if she found out we were doing this.”

But some families are opting for new traditions in a changing economy. Many department stores have rolled out inflation-proof Thanksgiving dinner deals that can also save shoppers time.

A Sam’s Club meal will feed 10 people for $100, while Aldi will feed 10 for $45. Target has a $20 meal for four people, and Walmart’s meal feeds eight for $56.

“People change,” said Mike Hilton of Holly Hill Restaurant Family. “Some people eat at home, some eat out. Some people don’t even make the turkey and the sides, they make other world cuisine.”

He said chef Ouita Michel and his restaurant group recognize the need for more options. During the pandemic, they decided to offer ready-to-go Thanksgiving meals that people could heat at home. Four years later, Hilton said their stores were almost sold out this year.

“Coming out of there, we thought there was a place for this,” he said. “There are people who would like to have the comfort of their home, with the very good experience of our food.”

Michel is also offering a free virtual Thanksgiving cooking class next Wednesday, November 20. You can register here.

However you choose to celebrate, people we spoke to say it’s all about family and, of course, they look forward to the food.

“Turkey is my favorite,” Bill Rihn said. “Turkey and dressing. Corn pudding, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, kind of a traditional Thanksgiving.”
