And if it's free? Even better. Ahead of the holiday, several grocery chains, including Giant and Albertsons, are running turkey giveaways. In most cases, the turkeys are free only if you spend a qualifying amount at the store before the Thanksgiving deadline. Similarly, some major supermarkets — like Aldi and Walmart — are promoting discounted Thanksgiving meal kits, which are preset ingredient lists that include turkeys and all the fixings. ## Big plans or big bills?
