Walmart just shared its Thanksgiving menu. Here's how it compares to other retailers.

Retailers are hoping to win shoppers with easy, affordable Thanksgiving meal options.
This year's lower per-person prices emphasize value as other cost pressures increase.
Walmart's meal basket also has more items than last year, plus the company will deliver it for free.

Americans once again face a critical choice this November: where to get their Thanksgiving dinner supplies.

By now, most major retailers have shared their recipes to win shoppers with easy, affordable meal options.

The largest of the bunch, Walmart, said Wednesday that this year's $35 meal basket offers more food and a lower price than last year's offering. Plus the deal includes free delivery.

To be precise, the company says the combo includes 18% more items and costs 12% less than last year, and is the lowest price in the history of the basket.

Other retailers have also managed to lower prices on their holiday meal deals, highlighting this year'sfocus on valueas other cost pressures rise.

Per-person prices generally range from $3.50 to $5, but one key difference between the baskets is the amount of cooking involved.

Budget-minded baskets from Walmart, Lidl, and Aldi each lean more on ingredients to make a meal from scratch, while meal kits from Albertson's, Costco and Sam's Club cost more but come ready to heat and eat. Target says its $30 basket of basics can be combined with its ready-made menu items.

Here's what's included in each of the top retailers' meal offerings, and what it costs per serving.
