Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time when loved ones gather around the table, share a laugh, and take a moment to remember what they're thankful for. But for many, Americans, putting a turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing on the table is out of reach, particularly amid rising inflation.
Fortunately, this year several brands have taken it upon themselves to create affordable options. Whether it's a $25 meal deal or a bevy of tasty, deeply discounted items, your Macaroni Kid Publishers have scoured the internet and rounded up some of the best Thanksgiving meal deals in the Temecula, Murrieta, French Valley and surrounding areas.
