Target has put together a deal to help shoppers prepare a low-cost Thanksgiving meal.

The meal, unveiled Wednesday, is geared toward “helping guests stretch their budgets” while celebrating the Nov. 23 holiday, the retailer said.

It consists of ingredients commonly used for Thanksgiving meals that cost under $25 total.

Target kicked off the deal, intended to feed a family of four, the same day the company announced it.
