WALMART is making it easier and more affordable than ever for customers to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families.

As part of its holiday season rollout, the retailer is offering a Thanksgiving meal that feeds up to 10 people for less than $7 per person.

In a year when inflation continues to squeeze household budgets, Walmart’s decision to lower the price of its Thanksgiving basket is a welcome relief for many families.

Latriece Watkins, Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer at Walmart US, emphasized the retailer’s focus on affordability, per a press release.

“We know many of our customers are beginning to prepare for their holiday celebrations early, and we’ve adapted our approach to best meet their needs.

“We’ve worked hard to lower prices across our most exciting assortment ever, and we’re thrilled to give customers more of what they want this holiday – more time to prepare and more opportunities to save all season long,” she said.

BASKET BASICS

The basket includes 28 customer-favorite items essential to a traditional Thanksgiving meal, such as turkey priced under $1 per pound, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberries, and classic holiday desserts, according to the release.

It will all be available starting October 14 and runs through December 25, giving shoppers ample time to plan their holiday festivities.

Customers can purchase the meal both in-store and online, with the added convenience of Walmart’s delivery and pickup services.

BUY ONE, GIVE ONE

This year, Walmart is introducing a new one-click “buy one, give one” donation option, allowing customers to easily share their holiday spirit with those in need.

When purchasing the Thanksgiving meal package online, customers can opt to donate the same meal to a family in need through a partnership with The Salvation Army.

In addition to the meal donation option, customers can also donate to the Red Kettles outside Walmart stores or participate in the Angel Tree program to buy gifts for children in need.

Walmart’s ongoing partnership with The Salvation Army raised more than $34 million last year, and the retailer hopes to build on that generosity this year.

DIGGING DELIVERY

Walmart is also expanding its delivery services to reach an additional 12 million households, giving more customers access to its affordable holiday offerings.

With early morning delivery starting at 6 am and express delivery in as little as 30 minutes, Walmart is making sure that even last-minute shoppers can receive their orders on time for the holidays.

Customers who prefer to shop from the comfort of their homes will benefit from Walmart’s easy-to-use app and website, where they can find all the essentials for their holiday meals and beyond.

Walmart+ members will also receive exclusive early access to the best deals, giving them a 12-hour head start on top holiday gifts before the rush begins.

HURRYING THE HOLIDAYS

While Walmart’s Thanksgiving meal deal is a standout offer, the retailer has much more in store for holiday shoppers.

The company is kicking off its first Holiday Deals event from October 8-13, where customers can find deep discounts on top gifts across electronics, toys, home décor, and fashion.

From gaming consoles and 98-inch televisions to stylish holiday outfits, shoppers can find some of the hottest deals of the season.

Walmart’s focus on low prices goes beyond special promotions.

With six days of steep discounts on popular brands, the Holiday Deals event marks the start of a season filled with incredible savings opportunities.

The retailer has also made headlines after launching a “style tour” with mobile shops.

Walmart’s CEO also explained why the store doesn’t take a common form of payment.
