Thanksgiving is one of the most awaited celebrations of the year as families gather to make delicious meals and enjoy their time together. In the border city of Tijuana, where Mexican and American cultures often mix, this celebration has become a very singular and special event.

Making Thanksgiving dinner can be a challenge, especially when you try to choose where you need to buy your products. Costco and Sam's Club, which are located in both countries, are two of the most popular stores where you can buy the best Thanksgiving products, regardless of which side of the border you are located.

Which is your best Thanksgiving dinner option?

In an investigation carried out on November 13, 2024, we decided to visit both stores to determine which is the best option to buy classic Thanksgiving dinner products such as turkey, mashed potatoes, cheese board, pies, and buns.

Costco: For quick and delicious dinners

With a huge offer of first-rate products, from premium meats to craft cheese, Costco allows for a culinary experience on another level. These are some of the best products available for a five-star Thanksgiving dinner that you can get without spending a fortune:

• Kirkland smoked turkey: $180 pesos ($9 dollars) per kilo

• Mashed potatoes: $250 pesos ($12 dollars) per kilo

• Cheese and fruit board: $250 pesos ($12 dollars) per kilo

• Pumpkin pie: $130 pesos ($6 dollars)

• 36 buns: $71 pesos ($3.50 dollars)

Costco is a paradise for faithful consumers, as they offer products that can satisfy any need. Though items could be organized better to make finding them easier, the variety of their offers is undisputable.

Sam's Club: Practical options for big families

Thanksgiving is a high demand season at supermarkets. However, Sam's Club seems to face a different challenge to what one would normally expect: at this establishment, we found less available options, especially when it comes to mashed potatoes and cheese boards.

These are the Thanksgiving products you can find at Sam's Club and their prices:

• Member's Mark Turkey 5kg: $870 pesos ($38 dollars)

• Cheese board 1kg: $398 pesos ($20 dollars)

• Pumpkin pie: $131 pesos ($6 dollars)

• 24 buns: $40 pesos ($2 dollars)
