Sometimes the obvious is so glaringly obvious that you can’t help but state the obvious—because it’s just that obvious. Got it? Let me explain. Walmart and Aldi have both launched Thanksgiving promos that scream “INFLATION-FREE THANKSGIVING,” rolling back prices to the good ol’ Trump-era levels. That’s right—prices reminiscent of the days before Bidenomics and Kamala-flation came along and made grocery shopping feel like a robbery in broad daylight.
Aldi’s got a “holiday meal for 10” priced at a mere $47, which comes out to $4.70 per person. Meanwhile, Walmart’s trying to stay competitive with an offer that includes their turkey for 88 cents a pound—numbers that practically scream MAGA. They didn’t need to slap a red hat on the bird for us to catch the drift. While neither retailer explicitly dropped Trump’s name, the message was as subtle as a sledgehammer. They’re rolling back prices to a time when your paycheck actually stretched far enough to feed your family.
According to CBS, Aldi’s “inflation-busting” spread is their cheapest Thanksgiving meal in five years. And wouldn’t you know it, that timeline takes us back to—you guessed it—Trump’s presidency. With items like Butterball turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and even pumpkin pie, it’s like Aldi’s serving up nostalgia for a pre-Biden economy on a platter. No wonder 25% of U.S. households are now shopping at Aldi; they’re offering food at prices people can actually afford. Who’d have thought that would be revolutionary in 2024?
Popular grocery store chain, Aldi, will now be offering Trump-era prices to counteract Kamalanomics this Thanksgiving.

Meanwhile, Walmart is also hopping on the rollback bandwagon, touting their “inflation-free” Thanksgiving. They don’t have to name names, but the comparison is clear: Biden and Harris’s economic policies have made filling a shopping cart a Herculean task, while Trump’s economy made it easy to grab a turkey without worrying about whether you’d still have enough to pay for the mashed potatoes.

Sure, the companies didn’t explicitly call out the Biden-Harris disaster, but come on, it’s there for everyone to see. These promotions are a very public, very corporate reminder of just how much better things were during Trump’s presidency. And Americans—whether they’re shopping at Aldi or Walmart—aren’t blind to the difference.
So here we are: mean tweets versus $47 Thanksgiving feasts. You do the math. The bottom line? The economy was thriving under Trump, and companies like Walmart and Aldi are practically begging for those days to return.
