Amazon's $25 Thanksgiving meal versus Macy's $25 shipping offer: different November 2026 holiday values

Amazon Grocery's $25 meal through November 26

In eligible U.S. markets served by Amazon's Same-Day fresh-grocery program, the retailer advertises an approximately 8-lb Butterball turkey plus side and dessert ingredients for $25 through Nov 26, while supplies last. Prime free Same-Day Delivery may apply to qualifying grocery orders of $25+. Verify the basket and local ZIP code; not a universal countrywide Amazon Black Friday price.

Separate Amazon food price windows

Selected frozen turkey is advertised $0.79/lb Nov 1–26; fresh turkey $0.99/lb Nov 14–26; party snacks/charcuterie 40% off Nov 2–14; selected pre-made sides 40% off Nov 15–26; selected Hefty compostable tableware 20% off Nov 14–19; selected McCormick 20–25% off Nov 19–30; selected Ziploc 20% off Nov 26–30. These dates are category-specific, not a general Amazon Black Friday calendar.

Other Thanksgiving grocery offers are not identical

Walmart's advertised approximate $35 basket includes 26 items intended to feed ten, with state exclusions, weighted items and pickup fees. Target's $30 meal is advertised for six and excludes Alaska and Hawaii. Sam's Club's roughly $160 assortment is for up to 16 with membership conditions. BJ's conditional coupon requires a qualifying $150 member purchase. Compare actual included foods, not just headline totals.

Macy's $25 free-shipping minimum

Macy's official 2026 Black Friday guide confirms free shipping on qualifying orders of $25 or more November 19–21, across Star Rewards membership tiers. That is a purchase threshold, not a $25 gift card or discount. Check oversized shipment exclusions and destination-based restrictions at checkout.

Macy's November 27–28 tote

Macy's advertises one reusable tote with eligible $100+ in-store purchase Nov 27–28, while supplies last. The guide mentions 6 a.m.–10 p.m. Friday hours, but exact local store times vary. Selected family coats, handbags and comforter sets are also previewed without proving any particular SKU's sale dates.

Keep affiliate promises separate

The retailer links in these guides lead to official merchant sources and are not presented as approved commission-generating links. If shopping via any affiliate referral, check disclosures, published terms, exact current price and your own eligibility. Neither retailer offer guarantees shipping before a particular date.
