  "account": "Our family decided to let Costco handle our Thanksgiving meal this year. We ordered a premade meal from Fortune Fish & Gourmet through Costco's website for $180, which included a turkey breast, rolls, six sides, and two pies. The meal was shipped to our doorstep in a cooler box and came with easy-to-follow reheating instructions. The turkey breast, rolls, sides, and pies turned out moist, delicious, and homemade tasting. We spent only about 30 minutes preparing the meal, as everything except the turkey was pre-cooked. The green-bean casserole, cranberry sauce, and mashed potatoes were particularly tasty and were just as good as homemade versions. We had plenty of leftovers, and the dessert included pumpkin pie and apple crumble. Overall, ordering the Costco Thanksgiving meal was a convenient and enjoyable experience that allowed us to spend more time with family and focus on setting the holiday table.",
