Dollar Tree Dinners is back with a special Thanksgiving edition!
The popular TikTok account, run by Rebecca Chobat, shared ways to prepare affordable yet delicious meals in a recent video. For the upcoming holiday, the creator has prepared a $20 Thanksgiving feast made entirely of Dollar Tree food for her 2 million followers.
“Not only have I already made a Dollar Tree Thanksgiving dinner, but I think it was my best Thanksgiving dinner I’ve ever made,” Chobat said in the video.

She attributes this to the fact that Dollar Tree has recently added many Thanksgiving-themed food items, including the star of the meal — canned turkey.
The meal consists of mac and cheese croquettes with ranch as an appetizer, a “Best of Thanksgiving” combo main course, and caramel apple cookies for dessert.
Each ingredient on Chobat’s list costs $1.25, she noted. A full meal requires a can of Swanson Chicken Soup; Kraft Ranch; Italian spiced breadcrumbs; Kraft mac & cheese; turkey stuffing mixture; a large bag of original unflavored Idahoan mashed potatoes; Pioneer Roast Turkey Gravy Mix; dried cranberries; French-style green beans; two cans of turkey; milk; margarine; sugar cookie mix; Werther’s Chewy Caramel Candies and Apple Pie Filling.

Total cost, as promised, is $20. Optional extras include a large casserole dish, a block of cheddar cheese and an extra sugar cookie mix, $1.25 each.
Another TikTok creator, “Caleb Cooks,” shared that he saw the single mother of three gathering ingredients for Chobat’s $20 Thanksgiving meal. According to Caleb, the mother had planned to reheat frozen meals for the holidays, but Chobat’s Dollar Tree Thanksgiving dinner gave her the idea to make a “real Thanksgiving dinner” for her kids.
“I want her to know that her videos are helping people,” he said.
