The Walmart Thanksgiving Meal Deal has been outlined by the retailer just ahead of the holiday season to provide consumers with a low-cost option for feeding the whole family this Thanksgiving or Christmas.
The meal deal showcases 29 products including a turkey with all the trimmings and side dishes with a price point of $7 per person with enough food for eight people. This $56 price point will come as welcome news to shoppers looking to keep their holiday spend budget low in the face of inflation and cost of living concerns. The meal deal is being offered through December 25, 2024.
Executive Vice President of Food John Laney spoke on the Walmart Thanksgiving Meal Deal saying, "Some of the holiday’s most special moments take place around the dinner table. At Walmart, we are committed to offering customers even deeper savings on top of our Every Day Low Prices for all their mealtime needs. And with more opportunities to gift a meal and give back to those in need, we’re helping customers spread holiday cheer to their loved ones and their local communities.”
