Publix is offering a selection of affordable frozen foods to simplify holiday meal preparation, catering to both those who want to cook and those who prefer pre-made options. The grocery chain is known for complete Thanksgiving meals under $10 per person, but their frozen aisle provides further savings and convenience.
Turkey and Protein Options
A frozen whole young turkey is currently available for 49 cents per pound—a significant discount from the usual $2.59. These turkeys (12-16 pounds) are pre-seasoned with salt, broth, celery extract, and pepper. For those preferring a smaller cut, a Butterball Frozen Boneless Turkey Breast with Gravy (3 pounds) is on sale for $15.99, including cooking instructions for foolproof preparation.
Sides and Vegetarian Choices
Publix offers several frozen side dishes to complement the main course. The Savannah Classics Cornbread Dressing ($8.19) provides a Southern-style flavor with sweet potatoes, pecans, and spices. For vegetarians or those seeking variety, Vegetarian Butternut Squash and Sage Ravioli ($5.09) offers an alternative side.
Frozen butternut squash ($3.09) is also available for those who want to make their own side, while a frozen Sweet Potato Casserole ($8.19) delivers the classic dish without the prep work. Both cornbread dressing and sweet potato casserole are part of a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
Desserts to Finish
Publix’s frozen dessert options include Breyers Butter Pecan Ice Cream ($5.89, buy-one-get-one-free), Frozen Vanilla Yogurt ($7.53) for a lighter choice, and fully baked frozen pies. The Marie Callender’s Frozen Pumpkin Pie and Frozen Dutch Apple Pie ($10.79 each, buy-one-get-one-free) are ready to bake, completing the holiday spread with minimal effort.
These options demonstrate that a complete holiday meal can be assembled affordably and with little cooking time, making Publix an attractive choice for busy shoppers.
