How to Save Big on Holiday Meals

Holiday meals aren’t just about food, they’re about the shared experiences, laughter and stories that fill a dining table with joy. But hosting big family gatherings (think in-laws, cousins and that one uncle who never RSVPs) can also bring a whole lot of stress, not to mention a hefty grocery bill. Add the challenge of prepping meals while accommodating everyone’s dietary preferences, which can feel overwhelming.  

Luckily, if you’re a AAA Member, you can access exclusive discounts that make holiday meal planning stress-free and budget-friendly. Whether you’re feeding a houseful or just ensuring your college kid comes home to their favorite meals, AAA makes saving easier than finding your turkey baster the night before Christmas!

Whether you’re cooking for 20 or planning an intimate dinner, AAA partnerships with trusted brands like Home Chef, Instacart and Albertsons offer thoughtful solutions to ease the stress of meal planning while protecting your wallet.
